When you’ve got a long trip ahead of you, there’s one snack that outlasts them all, both literally and figuratively – beef jerky.  Not only does it not go bad, but it’s loaded with protein to keep you strong.  Begin by trimming the fat off your Willow and feed it to your dragon for treats if you’d like.  Slice the Willow into very thin strips and place into a marinade consisting of The Water Horse, The Two Towers, and The Black Stallion.  Let sit for 24 hours, during which time you can teach your dragon new tricks.  When you’re ready to cure your jerky, turn your oven on low (about 160 degrees) and place your meat strips on the top rack.  Let it sit in the oven for approximately 6 hours, occasionally opening the oven door for a while to dissipate the heat (you don’t want to cook the meat, just dry it).  You can tell it’s done, because it won’t bend any more; it will just break.  Then you’ll have a hearty snack to take with you on your quest, even if you do not know it to be one yet.
