Greek Pot Casserole

Doombot Newt has stumbled in his campaign to be Doom's proxy in America. Doom is displeased. Doom spent countless hours (well, countless for Richards because it was more than four) assembling the perfect Doombot for this mission. Doom should receive praise solely for not applying his sterling visage onto this candidate avatar. The physical perfection alone would win the vote of all the Americans. But that victory would ring hollow. It might satisfy lesser men (hello, Richards), but for a Von Doom, such simple wins aren't worth getting out of bed.

So why, we must ponder, is Doombot Newt faltering? Not for the scope of ideas. Doom shan't apologize for those. Doom's notions cannot be presented in low resolution for the masses. The ideas of Doom are hi-def all the way, peasants. It is for you to catch up. Evolve yourselves. Moon bases are merely the tip of the genius iceberg upon which your feeble brains crash and founder.

No, Doom saddled his automaton with a ludicrous moral orientation and poor physiology to make the campaign competitive. But behold! Doom, once again, surpassed his own standard! Even subconsciously Doom excels. Doom is not surprised to be surprised by his accomplishments. Doom's effortless brilliance is an all-day lollipop.

Speaking of abundance of glory, Doom brings to you a recipe that will provide copious leftovers, perfect for bolstering all in winter's grasp.

Behold Doom's own cornucopia:
