Fahrenheit 450 (Four Five Zero) or A Bradbury Dinner.

450F is perfect for three dinner elements:

Roasting meat : Spicy Chicken Drumstick
Roasting a bean and vegetable combination: Spanish Cauliflower/Chickpeas with Green Olives.
Baking bread in a dutch oven: No Knead Bread.

Time it right, and you've three for one saved energy, and got yourself a great feast to share with friends.Good red wine, and voila.

Fahrenheit 451 (four-five-one)  was one of many great books by Ray Bradbury. In it, firemen lit fires, burned banned books, and  "4-5-1" referred to the burning point of paper.  This was indeed a horror film --- beloved books curling up in wisps of smoke and ash. It was a perfect companion to Animal Farm, Soylent Green, and all the speculative fiction of that era depicting the totalitarian future.
