So I couldn’t post the pictures before Battlestar Galactica final episode aired, but I’ll do a quick post about this dinner anyway. (I copied and pasted most text from my earlier post.)

This is something I made for my Battlestar Galactica fans. Nothing very special, I just cut cookie dough in the shape of Cylon Raider. I used the cookie cutter I made out of a soda bottle (see the cookie cutter in “how to make Totoro peanut butter sandwich”) because with this cutter, you can make cookies in any size you want.
[How to make Cylon Raider cookies] (naked version)
- cookie dough (see “how to make cookie dough with pancake mix” or any cookie dough) If you use my cookie dough recipe, it’ll make about nine 3 inch cookies.
- red icing (or you can use dye white icing with red food coloring)
- parchment paper
– cutter made out of a plastic bottle (see “how to make Totoro peanut butter sandwich”)
*- white icing (I just bought the icing in a tube this time)
*– food coloring (red, blue and yellow)
* I couldn’t put icing this time, but I will in the future!
Before I started working on the cookie, and I decided how big I wanted my Cylon Raider to be. I cut parchment paper slightly bigger than the cookie cutter, and cut the corners of each sheet. (This is just for BSG fans. Cutting corners doesn’t affect the cookies’ taste!)

I couldn’t blog last night because I was busy cooking an early Battlestar Galactica (a.k.a. BSG) themed feast!
Why a feast? For those who don’t know me, my boyfriend and I are huge BSG fans and BSG’s series final is tonight. Yes, it’s finally tonight!!! 2 hour episode from 9 pm eastern time. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I feel excited and worried.
I was getting antsy, so decided to practice preparing a big feast for the finale of BSG. Actually, I wanted to post them late last night or early this morning, so that people who were planning to have a BSG party tonight could add a BSG themed dish or two for their party. BUT I forgot to upload the images to flickr, and I’m at work now… (lunch break ^^)
Sighs.
I hope I can post them before the show airs tonight.
I don’t want to spoil surprises, but in case I don’t post them before the show, I’ll explain what I made. I made an “Eye of Jupiter rice cake”, and BSG dog tags potato/bacon finger snacks. (It’s too nerdy to explain what the “Eye of Jupiter” and “BSG dog tags” are so if you don’t know, google search it!)
For the “Eye of Jupiter” I made a cake out of rice using a cake mold (see “non-bento#6: real rice cake”). I sliced carrots in thin strips, microwaved it for a minute, and spread it for the orange circle. Then I chopped scallions and sprinkled it for the blue circle. I used a brown egg I had made for the center, but you can put pretty much anything in the center. If you have seaweed, you can cut it into thin strips and sprinkle to make the outline for each circle too.
For “BSG dog tags” I peeled and sliced potato about 1/4 inch thin. I carefully cut one slice of potato into a hexagon shape, and used that piece as a guide to cut the rest of the hexagon shapes. It’s very hard to cut each piece into a hexagon shape, but it’s SO MUCH EASIER to do if you have one perfect hexagon shape as a guide.
Make sure you keep the potatoes in water after you cut it. It’ll prevent discoloration. You can also cut potatoes in advances, and keep in a tupperware container with water overnight in the fridge until you cook it. (Save all scraps in water so you can eat cook them with bacon juice after you cook the dog tags, or just fry them) I then cut the bacon in pieces smaller than the hexagon shaped sliced potato, and cooked in a pan. When the bacon was cooked and crispy, I took out the bacon, and fried the hexagon shaped sliced potatoes in the bacon juice until they were brown.
When the potatoes were done, I took put them in a strainer to remove the excess oil, and sandwiched the bacon between two potato slices. You can sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper if you like. We ate them with fingers, but you can stick tooth picks through them if you’re worried about it falling apart.
Actually I have another BSG themed food to post, which I wasn’t too happy about… but I’ll post it anyway.
I think there’ll be multiple posts today. I apologize for geeking out, but I just can’t help it!
