The Recipe Thread/Sink's Babe Forum

[Mustard]

Ok, post your best recipe/s involing meat/s. Beef, chicken, pork, fish, whatever. BBQ, baked, broiled, fried, blanched, roasted, it doesn't matter! Bottom line, if you make a dynomite dish, post the recipe here, and we'll be the judge. If the dish doesn't have meat in it, fuck you.

Here is one of my best, I call it Spicy Beef and Rice:

Ingredients:

1 pound of London Broil, sliced to about 1/4 of an inch along the width of the cut. You should be left with lots of 1/4 inch medalions.
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/4 cup of soy sauce
1 green onion, sliced up pretty good
1 and 1/2 teaspoons of vinegar
A small handful of sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne OR hot mexican chili powder
1 teaspoon equivalent of crushed or finely minced garlic
a few cranks of fresh ground black peppercorn

So, grab a very large mixing bowl, and add all of the ingredients as you measure them out, adding the meat last. Toss the mixture with the meat using your hands (yes, your hands, they work the best) until you are satisfied everything is mixed thoroughly. Then set it in the fridge for a minimum of 3 hours, preferably 6 or so though.

Before cooking, prepare two cookie sheets by covering the cooking surface with tinfoil. Trust me, it helps. Now is the time to also start the rice. One cup should suffice. In your oven, move the top rack to the top position, then turn your oven on its highest broiling setting. Then take the meat and lay the medalions out on the tinfoil until you have no more meat left to place. When the broil is good and ready (and it should be by now) place both sheets into the oven (if you can) and time it for two minutes. After two minutes, remove the meat from the oven, and flip each piece of meat over with a fork. Then return the meat to the oven for another 90 seconds. When thats done, pull it out, and serve with the rice.

The prep takes the longest because of the marinade time, but other than that, this is a 15 minute meal (the time it takes to cook rice). Try it out, you'll be glad you did.

1) Boil ham in water

It's watery...and yet there's a smack of ham.

[The GWD]

Just meat recipes? Fuck you, Sink! What will Mongo eat? Me? I loves me some grilled cheese.



1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
12 slices white bread
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (24 ounce) jar vodka marinara sauce

Preheat your oven's broiler.





Place 6 slices of bread onto a baking sheet. Spread a small handful of the mozzarella cheese over each slice. Top with the remaining 6 slices of bread. Mix together the butter and garlic powder, brush some over the tops of the sandwiches, or spread with the back of a tablespoon. Sprinkle with dried oregano.
Place baking sheet under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown. Remove pan from oven, flip sandwiches, and brush the other sides with butter, and sprinkle with oregano. Return to the broiler, and cook until golden, about 2 minutes.
Cut sandwiches in half diagonally, and serve immediately with marinara sauce on the side for dipping

Cereal



Milk (optional)
Cereal
Meat (optional)

Pour cereal into bowl. Add milk to desired taste. Sprinkle with meat. Eat.

[Mustard]

Thats pretty good GWD.

But, for us meat-people, I suggest adding canadian bacon or thin slices of ham, or cooked bacon to the middle of the sandwiches.

Or all three.

[Gary_Busey]

Per Sink's request, I added meat to my recipe.

[Mustard]

Yes. That is better.

Red's Beef Stew & Rice

- 1 large package of stew beef ($10 range)
- 1 medium sized onion
- 2 bell peppers
- 1 can of chopped tomatoes (drained)
- 1 cup of white rice
- beef broth
- ~5 cloves garlic
- Italian seasoning
- salt & pepper
- red pepper flake
- olive oil

Chop onion and bell pepper to a medium dice. In a large vessel, add about a shot glass-worth of olive oil and heat over medium-high flame. Sweat garlic, onion, and bell pepper until pepper becomes fork tender. Use salt and pepper as initial seasoning.

Begin browning beef in a large skillet. Do not cook fully, just enough to begin searing the outside of the beef. When all pieces are grey and are barely showing signs of browning, remove from heat, drain most of the accumulated fat, then add to pot with garlic, onion, and bell pepper.

Add tomatoes and stir to combine. Pour enough beef broth over mixture to cover, increase heat to a rolling boil, then allow to simmer for 90 minutes to an hour and 45 minutes. This may vary depending on your choice of meat as the beef should be tender and fall-apart by the end of cooking. Towards end of cooking, check seasoning, add salt & pepper to taste. Also add Italian seasoning and red pepper flake, both to taste.

Using a rice cooker, prepare 1 cup of white rice. May use water to prep rice or can cook using beef broth. When cooker is done and stew is near completion, add rice to stew and allow to cook on simmer for an additional 15 minutes. May add sliced jalapenos to complete dish and to increase heat level. Serve with Texas toast.

[Mustard]

I read to the end, and then I saw "serve with Texas Toast." WTF? Texas Toast was not on the ingredients list...

Oh, and for a little tip about cooking rice: Use two cups of water for every cup of rice, and add two large pinches of kosher salt to the water before bringing it to a boil, unless of course you're using a broth in lieu of the water.

[RedBEARD]

I read to the end, and then I saw "serve with Texas Toast." WTF? Texas Toast was not on the ingredients list...It's not so much a required ingredient as it is a suggested addition. Such as the drinking of Sam Adams' Cherry Wheat with it.

[The GWD]

Are we talking red bell peppers, or green?

[Mustard]

I've never had a Sam Adams parse my lips in my entire life.

And yeah, what GWD said too. Or can we go something cattywompus, like orange or yellow??

risotto for bad ass motherfuckers.



1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 small or 1/2 medium onion
3 to 4 cloves garlic
1 pound Arborio rice
7 to 8 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
1 to 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 cups (total) grated Parmesan, Romano, and/or Asiago cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste
Chopped chives




Heat oil in large skillet, then add chopped onion and garlic and cook until soft. Dump in 1 pound dry Arborio rice, and stir to coat. Then add the broth, in 1-cup increments, stirring after each addition until liquid is absorbed (this part takes a long motherfucking time). Rice is done when it no longer has a hard bite. After all liquid is absorbed, add cream, cheese, salt & pepper, and stir to combine. Stir in chives and serve immediately.

Old fashioned country steak and gravy

Take one great grandmother and keep her in the kitchen with her cast iron pans and have her cook up a batch of country fried steak and gravy. Basically, it’s just cube steak and flour that is cooked slowly for hours and hours until it is so tender that it melts in your mouth. Anyone can make this dish but having a really old racist great grandmother, that uses cute southern expressions, yells a string of curses at you, and throws homemade biscuits at people, really adds something to the meal. The steak and gravy go especially well with mashed potatoes, fried okra, collard greens, homemade biscuits or cornbread, and apple brown betty for dessert.

[RedBEARD]

Are we talking red bell peppers, or green?Conceivably, you could use either or a mix thereof. The first time I made this, I used green...Because they were 2 for $1 at the grocery that week.

Butternut Squash and Pear Soup

2 tsp olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 tbsp curry powder
1 pound butternut squash (about half a medium squash), cut into 1-inch pieces
2 ripe medium Bartlett pears, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 1/2 cups fat-free, low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

Heat oil on medium heat in Dutch oven or soup pot. Gently sauté onions until softened—about 5 minutes. Add curry powder and stir, sautéing for 1 minute. Add butternut squash and pear pieces. Sauté for 3-4 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes until squash and pear are tender. Transfer soup to a food processor or blender and purée until smooth, working in two batches if necessary.

This is the BEST soup recipe. EVER. If you like pears and butternut squash.

mangoes also cause many kitchen accidents. i cut through my thumbnail in my first kitchen job while slicing a tomato. 8 years later i still have the scar.

Yep. My left index finger still has a scar from that soup. I never cut mangoes until they're soft ... so that doesn't pose a threat to my appendages.

[6655321]

whichever hand you use as your guide hand while cutting, you tuck your fingers in and under a little, so if worse comes to worse while chopping you'll only whack your knuckles.

And now ... I have this huge gash on my right hand from open cans of tomato sauce.

Here's my basterdized Korean beef. No real measurements, but you probably need about a cup of soy sauce and a cup of sugar. The lower the ingredient on the list, the less you will need.

Flank steak--cut into strips
Equal parts Soy sauce and sugar
Green onions--chopped
Garlic--chopped
Fresh Ginger--grated
Roasted sesame seeds
Sesame oil
Rooster hotsauce
Orange juice

Lightly salt and pepper the beef. Mix everything in a giant bowl. Let it sit for a couple of hours. BBQ, take off the grill, splash with a little OJ and eat. The end.

Simple Ramen...

go visit your local 99 ranch or equal asian food market and purchased tom yum sum shrimp ramen.

follow directions to cook and while cooking add 1 inch blocks of firm tofu
fresh broccoli
peas

let it all simmer together

serve hot in a bowl with pickled radishes.

total cost for dish about $3 if that, tastes fucking great, and very filling.

Alright, who here likes fajitas? Everybody? Good.

Now that I have your attention, I'm gonna give you the recipe for the best chicken fajitas you will probably ever have. This is my numero uno, best dish that I make, so I hope you savages are paying attention.
Yes, I'm that confident.

Necessary Ingredients:
2 pounds of boneless/skinless chicken breast (don't sub for anything like thigh meat, please)
2 bell peppers, one red, and one green
1 small red onion (or sweet onion if its in season)
2 packages of McCormick's fajita seasoning (seriously, they're like 50 cents apiece and totally worth it)
1 package of burrito size flour tortillas
Assorted spices such as Cayenne, Chili Powder, Adobo (Chipotle), and Garlic powder will suffice.

Optional ingredients:
1 package of pre-shredded sharp cheddar cheese (I personally love sharp with this, but use whatever fits your preference)
Sour Cream
Diced tomato
Chopped Lettuce
Tater Tots as a side dish
Salad as a side dish

OK. First, about an hour before you begin to cook, put the chicken in the freezer, as this will stiffen the meat up considerably, but you will now be able to slice it with far greater efficiency and accuracy.

When you're ready, prep the ingredients. Julienne the bell peppers and chop and dice the red onion, and set them aside momentairly. Wash the chicken boobs, and then slice them along the width about 1/2" or so wide, so you should end up with lots of short strips. Set this chicken aside. Grab the largest frying pan you have, and place it on medium heat while adding enough EVOO to coat the pan. When the pan is ready, add the veggies, and stir frequently. After about 5 minutes have elpased, grab a large bowl, and dish the now half-cooked veggies into that bowl. With the pan virtually empty again, place it back on the heat, and add to the pan 1.5 cups of water (yeah, water). Quickly tear open your packages of fajita seasoning, and dump that in the water. Use your spatual (you should be using one...) to stir up the now thick solution and work out all of the big clumps of dry seasoning into the mixture. When you are satisfied, add all of the chicken to the now black goop. Stir that stuff up and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring about ever other minute. Also, this is now the time to add the various other spices you have, so go ahead and season the mix to taste (I add all of the four I mentioned because I like a good spice in my fajitas). If the chicken starts to stick to the pan, add 1/2 cup of water until it cooperates, don't use oil. After 10 mins have elapsed, add the veggies you set aside to the chicken. Stir the mix together for another 3 minutes, and when that is done, turn the heat down as low as it will go w/o turning off.

Throw the tortillas into the microwave and heat them up for 45 seconds. Then grab a tortilla, put a helping of fajitas from the pan onto the tortilla, and add whatever optional ingredients you want. It really doesn't matter what you add though, these should be the best fajitas you have ever had, and if they aren't, you did it wrong. Seriously.

Happy cooking.

Got any good steak recipes?


i tend to get bored with the ole steak and steak sauce bit, so i do a southwestern steak.

the rub

1 tbsp - cumin
1 tbsp - ancho chili powder
1 tbsp - coriander
1 tsp - chipolte chili powder
1/2 tsp - garlic powder

mix those together and add just a small amount of oil to make it into a paste. rub generously on the steaks and let marinate for a and hour or two. before tossing on the grill, hit em with some salt, then grill to desired temp.

the sauce

1/2 cup - sour cream
1 tbsp - prepared horseradish (you can use more depending on your taste)
1/2 tsp - dijon mustard
1/2 a lemon or lime juiced
salt and pepper to taste

mix that shit together and let it hang out for a while so the flavors will develop.

the measurements aren't exact, i'm just guessing from what i usually eyeball.

[6655321]

i made this soup last night, and it was fucking delicious. i made a large batch so scale it down if you don't wanna make as much.

Spicy Buttenut and Zucchini Soup with Grilled Jerk Chicken.

for the soup you will need:

1 large butternut squash
2 medium carrots
2 medium celery stalks
1 medium onion
3 thai chilis (you can do more depending on personal taste)
3 large cloves of garlic
1/2 lb. of white beans
1 gallon of good chicken stock
3 medium chicken breasts - cleaned

seasonings:

salt and pepper
2 tbsps. cumin
1 and 1/2 tbsps. coriander
1 tbsp. jerk chicken seasoning
1/2 tbsp. celery seed
1 tbsp. curry powder
1 tsp. brown sugar

directions:

soak white beans overnight in cold water. the next day,
add white beans and chicken stock (i used homemade) into a soup pot and bring to a simmer.
season with salt and pepper and add thai chilis.

roast your butternut squash in a 375 degree for an hour or so, until fork tender. toss your carrots and celery in to roast in the last ten minutes of the squash roasting.

let roasted veggies cool slighty, and then blend the squash, carrots, garlic and celery with a little bit of the chicken stock (don't blend the beans).

once you've blended the veggies pour them back in with the stock and beans. add your seasonings at this point and let simmer until the beans are almost tender.

then add 1 medium onion diced and 1-2 large zucchinis cut into medium dice. simmer the soup over low heat until the zucchini is tender.

if the soup is a little loose you can add 2-3 tbsps of roux (equal portions of butter and flour cooked over low heat, used for thickening).

season chicken breasts with plenty of jerk seasoning and grill until done. dice chicken and add to soup. simmer for just a few minutes.

serve with a dollop of sour cream and a little chopped cilantro (optional).

this soup is spicy and very hearty.

[IdiotBrain]

"Salsa" denotes a sauce made with chunks of vegetables in it, generally used for dipping sauce, though it can also be spread on a taco, or other similar mexican dish.

"hot sauce" is a liquid used to flavor food, marinate and spray in peoples eyes.

[Pax Britannia]

are you a fucking idiot?.

The clues in the screen name.

[IdiotBrain]

I live ten minutes from mexico, if I go ask a mexican lady for "salsa" she'll give me something akin to this, but perhaps with more liquid... generally either lime juice or tomato sauce.

you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. "salsa" means sauce, you're just accustomed to the americanized shit like pace and old el paso salsas. tons of shit can be called salsas and not mean "a sauce with chunks of vegetables in it". valentina has NO veggies in it, it is a smooth hot sauce that tastes loads better than cholula. now stfu.

[IdiotBrain]

I stand corrected then, But Cholula still kicks the shit out of it.

And no, I'm not used to americanized shit.

[IdiotBrain]

Correct, but if you go to a mexican restaurant anywhere near mexico and ask for "salsa" they will give you one thing, ask for "hot sauce" and they'll give you something completely different.

Whether or not "salsa" translates to sauce matters not.

[IdiotBrain]

[Pax Britannia]

[6655321]

mexicans are the ones who turned me on to valentina hot sauce. if it's pleasing enough for a discerning mexican, then i'll trust it.

[IdiotBrain]

You live in Tennessee....

How many of these discerning mexicans have ever even been to mexico?

Quick, without looking it up....

Is this a taco or a burrito?

http://theatrestrikeforce.org/cutenews/data/upimages/burrito.jpg

[Pax Britannia]

Burrito.

[IdiotBrain]

False.

In Mexico, burrito's are fried.

[Pax Britannia]

(dramatic music)

We dont get much Mexican food in Britain.

[IdiotBrain]

It's a shame.

[6655321]

False.

In Mexico, burrito's are fried.

i suppose you also think nachos and chimichangas are distintly mexican as well? i've worked with tons of displaced mexicans in the restaurant business, and none of them have ever fried a burrito, and they don't eat any of the shit that you get at most mexican restaurants in the u.s. living close to mexico doesn't make you a fucking expert in mexican food. most of the shit close to the border is tex mex bullshit anyway, so stfu.

monterrey's not far from the fucking border, they still make food for american tastes due to a little tourism. if you want real mexican food you gotta get further inland. did you eat any tripe tacos in monterrey? that's one of the most popular tacos amongst mexicans, and i'll be surprised if you even know what it is without googling it.

Why does everyone on the internet think they are an expert at everything. Stop ruining this thread with your useless mexican food arguements. Nobody cares you faggots. Got any good steak recipes?

Most good quality steak is best prepared with salt, pepper and a little bit of garlic. Anything else is a waste because it ends up tasting like sause and not steak. All those bottle marinades are disgusting. But if you really want to do something fancy with a good steak, listen to Alton Brown.Ingredients
4 tenderloin steaks, 6 to 8 ounces each and no more than 1 1/2 inches thick
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons whole peppercorns 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/3 cup Cognac, plus 1 teaspoon
1 cup heavy cream


Directions
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour prior to cooking. Sprinkle all sides with salt.

Coarsely crush the peppercorns with a mortar and pestle, the bottom of a cast iron skillet, or using a mallet and pie pan. Spread the peppercorns evenly onto a plate. Press the fillets, on both sides, into the pepper until it coats the surface. Set aside.

In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil. As soon as the butter and oil begin to turn golden and smoke, gently place the steaks in the pan. For medium-rare, cook for 4 minutes on each side. Once done, remove the steaks to a plate, tent with foil and set aside. Pour off the excess fat but do not wipe or scrape the pan clean.

Off of the heat, add 1/3 cup Cognac to the pan and carefully ignite the alcohol with a long match or firestick. Gently shake pan until the flames die. Return the pan to medium heat and add the cream. Bring the mixture to a boil and whisk until the sauce coats the back of a spoon, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Add the teaspoon of Cognac and season, to taste, with salt. Add the steaks back to the pan, spoon the sauce over, and serve.

Lumpia

Its a hit where ever anywhere anytime; however, its pretty time consuming. In fact I am making this at the request of my co-workers for our Friday potluck. My ex-mother-in-law thought the trick to the trait, and she is the master.

1 bunch of green onions
1 red onion
1 carrot
1 egg
1 pound of ground turkey
1 package of lumpia wraps.

The Lumpia wraps can be bought at any Chinese store. Put the wraps in the frig. Left out they will get hard and brittle.

Mince the veggies as much as you can. Add the egg and ground turkey. The turkey can be replaced with beef, but the beef is greesey and doesn't go with the veggies as well as the turkey.

Lumpia wraps come in a nice 9"x9" square. Cut them bitches right down the middle to make triangles. Have a small bowl of water handy. With triangle point pointing away from you, dip your hand in the water and smear it on the wrap. About 1/3 the way up, place a heaping teaspoon full of the mix on the wrap. Take the long bottom of the wrap (that is closes to you) wrap it over the mix. mold the mix into a shape about the size of a penny and about 3 inches long, give or take. Fold outwoard sides inward, and roll.

The mix will make a good 30 Lumpias. With a pretty shallow amount of oil deep fry them bitches for a good 5 minutes, and repeat of the other side.

Serve hot, sause not needed, but some might want.

I suggest you go to the closest Taco Time and conduct some research for your own peace of mind.

[The GWD]

1) Wait for missus to go into the kitchen.

That's right! Tell that bitch who's boss. If she starts whining something about she can't cook because she just had major surgery, correct her with the back of your hand.

2) Play Bioshock for an hour.

Sounds good. If she tries to interrupt you with some kind of bullshit like, "What do you want on your taco?", just yell at her that she got you killed in the game, and call her retarded.

3) Eat delicious meal.

You're fading here. Even if the meal she cooked is delicious, you don't let her know that. You treat everything she cooks as if you're eating a steaming pile of dog shit. Make some comment about how you aren't gay, but you'd rather suck a dick for the cum rather than eat whatever nasty shit she's concocted. It'll totally make her horny.

4) Help her with the dishes.

You're joking, right? Usually the best plan of action is to go into the kitchen after she's thoroughly cleaned to inspect her work. If you find a plate that isn't sparkling, you chuck it at her. Hit her in the face with it, knock out some teeth, try to deform her. Wait until she starts threatening to leave you and laugh and knock her around some more. Tell her how you're so sure her parents would welcome her back into their home if you happen to tell them all the un-christianly things she does in the bedroom. Then the tears will come full tilt. Loud, pain-filled wails that you couldn't go to sleep without hearing.

5) Repeat every day.

French Dip Sandwiches

INGREDIENTS

1 (10.5 ounce) can beef consomme
1 cup water
1 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
8 slices provolone cheese
4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise





DIRECTIONS


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Open the hoagie rolls and lay out on a baking sheet.
Heat beef consomme and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat to make a rich beef broth. Place the roast beef in the broth and warm for 3 minutes. Arrange the meat on the hoagie rolls and top each roll with 2 slices of provolone.
Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese just begins to melt. Serve the sandwiches with small bowls of the warm broth for dipping.

Fried chicken. If you want it really spicy, I would season the buttermilk with soem cayenne before soaking the chicken.


Ingredients


1 broiler/fryer chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 cups low fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Flour, for dredging
Vegetable shortening, for frying
Directions

Place chicken pieces into a plastic container and cover with buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.

Melt enough shortening (over low heat) to come just 1/8-inch up the side of a 12-inch cast iron skillet or heavy fry pan. Once shortening liquefies raise heat to 325 degrees F. Do not allow oil to go over 325 degrees F.

Drain chicken in a colander. Combine salt, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Liberally season chicken with this mixture. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess.

Place chicken skin side down into the pan. Put thighs in the center, and breast and legs around the edge of the pan. The oil should come half way up the pan. Cook chicken until golden brown on each side, approximately 10 to 12 minutes per side. More importantly, the internal temperature should be right around 180 degrees. (Be careful to monitor shortening temperature every few minutes.)

Drain chicken on a rack over a sheet pan. Don't drain by setting chicken directly on paper towels or brown paper bags. If you need to hold the chicken before serving, cover loosely with foil but avoid holding in a warm oven, especially if it's a gas oven.

http://images.allrecipes.com/site/allrecipes/area/community/userphoto/big/2053.jpg
INGREDIENTS (Nutrition (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Eclair-Cake/Detail.aspx#nutri-box))



2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant French vanilla pudding mix
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
3 cups milk
1 (16 ounce) package graham cracker squares
1 (16 ounce) package prepared chocolate frosting

DIRECTIONS



In a medium bowl, thoroughly blend the pudding mix, whipped topping, and milk.
Arrange a single layer of graham cracker squares in the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan. Evenly spread half of the pudding mixture over the crackers. Top with another layer of crackers and the remaining pudding mixture. Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
Spread the frosting over the whole cake up to the edges of the pan. Cover, and chill at least 4 hours before serving.

FOOTNOTE

The frosting will be easier to spread if the cake is covered and chilled for about 30 minutes before spreading.

[BIG PIZZLE]

Chocolate Cookies
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocaoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
16 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons instant coffee or espresso powder
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt into medium bowl, set aside

2. Melt chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl set over pan of almost simmer water, stirring once or twice, until smooth. Remove from heat. Or melt in microwave: heat at 50% power for 2 minutes, stir, then heat another minute at 50% power. If it is not completely melted, continue heating, for 30 second incrememts at 50%, stirring after each time, until smooth. Be very careful
not to burn it! Beat eggs and vanilla lightly in a small bowl with a fork, sprinkle coffee powder over, and stir to dissolve

3. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter at medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 5 seconds. Beat in sugars to combine, about 45 seconds, mixture will look granular. Reduce speed to low and gradually beat in egg mixture until incorporated, about 45 seconds. Add chocolate in steady stream and beat until combined, about
40 seconds. Scrape bottom and sides of bowl with a rubber spatula. With mixer at low speed, add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Then mix in chocolate chips...do not overbeat! Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until consistency is scoopable and fudge-like, about 30 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat. Leaving about 1 1/2 inches between balls, scoop dough onto cookie sheets using an ice-cream scoop. The balls should be about the size of golf balls.

5. Bake, reversing position of baking sheets halfway through baking (from top to bottom and front to back) until edges of cookies have just begun to set, but centers are still very soft, about 10 minutes. The cookies will look like they are not done, but don't bake them any longer than this...they will firm up as they cool.

6. Cool cookies on baking sheets for about 10 minutes. If using parchment, then carefully slide the parchment with cookies onto wire racks, and let cool to room temperature. I used Silpat, so I put parchment onto the wire racks and used an offset spatula to carefully transfer the cookies to it one by one. Put new parchment onto the baking sheets, scoop out remaining dough, and bake
and cool as above.

Do you ever go savory, girl?

[ElemenoP]

Sometimes. But I'm have an insane sweet tooth.

[Jericho]

This shall make you fat like Hansel & Gretel

[ElemenoP]

That's the best part. I'm not.

[Jericho]

I didn't say did, idiot. I said shalllllll

Mac & Cheese?

Cheesy Corkscrews With Crunchy Bacon Topping


http://media.npr.org/programs/atc/features/2009/apr/cheesycorkscrews_200.jpg

Serves 6 to 8
Pat Neely says that while he was growing up in Memphis, Tenn., everyone had their own special mac and cheese recipe. He says a piquant, cheesy white sauce and a crispy topping made from potato chips and bacon creates the best — and most indulgent — version of mac and cheese that her family has ever tasted.

Cheesy Corkscrews
6 tablespoons butter, plus more for greasing
Kosher salt
1 pound cavatappi (or other tubular pasta)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk, warmed
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Dash hot sauce
Dash Worcestershire sauce
4 cups grated sharp white cheddar cheese
1 1/4 cups grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Crunchy Bacon Topping

1 1/2 cups crushed potato chips
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
5 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish.
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until it's al dente. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in the warmed milk and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly (the mixture will thicken as the heat increases).

Stir the dry mustard, salt, black pepper, cayenne, nutmeg, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce into the thickened milk. Stir in 3 cups of the cheddar, and the Pecorino Romano, until the cheeses melt.

Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce, and toss to combine. Pour the cheese-apalooza mixture into the prepared casserole dish.

Make the topping: In a medium bowl, combine the potato chips, Pecorino Romano, crumbled bacon, parsley and the remaining cheddar. Sprinkle the crumb mixture on top of the macaroni and cheese, and bake for 35 minutes. For a crunchier topping, finish under the broiler for 3 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Mac & Cheese Part II
I have tried this and it is pretty good.

1/2 pound elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon powdered mustard
3 cups milk
1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 large egg
24 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh black pepper


Topping:
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup panko bread crumbs

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and mustard and keep it moving for about five minutes. Make sure it's free of lumps. Stir in the milk, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf.

Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.

Melt the butter in a saute pan and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving.

Mac & Cheese Part III

This is the easiest.

1/2 pound elbow macaroni
4 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
6 ounces evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh black pepper
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
15 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded


Directions
In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente and drain. Return to the pot and melt in the butter. Toss to coat.

Whisk together the eggs, milk, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and mustard. Stir into the pasta and add the cheese. Over low heat continue to stir for 3 minutes or until creamy.

[6655321]

even easier..

make a bechamel sauce and melt cheddar cheese into it. add your cooked macaroni and some rendered bacon or pancetta, mix it up, dump it in a casserole and top with cheese. bake it til it's bubbly and brown. done and done.

[BIG PIZZLE]

That's basically what these recipes are but they add a lot of funk to the bechamel.

[6655321]

they use egg for thickener instead of roux. excluding the first recipe.

[BIG PIZZLE]

Whatever, you know what I mean. If you wanted easy you could just melt some butter and cheese with macaroni.

[Gary_Busey]

You love mac & cheese like a white person does.

[BIG PIZZLE]

I just made and ate some.

[BIG PIZZLE]

Popcorn:

You need a saucepan with a lid.
http://www.global-b2b-network.com/direct/dbimage/50271077/18cm_Sauce_Pan_with_Stainless_Steel_Lid_and_Hollow _Handle.jpg

Cooking oil,
Popcorn &
Tobasco.

Put enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan and put 3 kernals in there. Heat to medium-high. When the 3rd kernal pops, dump JUST enough popcorn to cover the bottom of the pan & about 3 tablespoons of tobasco. Cover it and shake the shit out of it. Keep shaking it around until the popign stops. Dump and salt. You're welcome.

[Jericho]

mmmm, reminds me of the bags of Tobasco popcorn from 7-11. Can't find that shit anymore :(

[Jericho]

This stuff. Soooo good

Okay so I'm going to be on my own food wise for the first time ever real soon, so I'm looking to start gathering some recipes.

I have all kinds of time, so difficulty/time constraints aren't an issue. Money is tighter than tight, so anything including rice and pasta would be nice; I might have to go semi vegetarian.

Breakfasts/lunches/dinners are all being searched for.

Any suggestions?

[Don Scrappy]

potatoes, onions and eggs are cheap as hell. For breakfast you could make some eggs and has browns real easy.

for the browns, shred potatoes in a regular sized cheese grater, pat dry with a paper towel. Chop onions and throw both into a pan with oil on medium heat. Flatten the mixture out and flip once. Use all the salt and pepper you want. Do whatever you want with the eggs.

If you're going real cheap you can make a good dish out of ramen noodles, frozen chicken, butter, soy sauce and hot sauce.

cook and dice the chicken.
slightly undercook the noodles and drain.
In a hot pan throw in the chicken and noodles with butter and any sauces, soy and tapatio are bomb.
cook away until it smells done.

ALSO, frozen veggies can make pretty much anything better.

you don't really need to go vegetarian, but you will be eating very shitty meat the less you try to spend.

[NOTKyle]

I think I'm going to avoid frozen vegetables, because I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get vegetables for relatively cheap in certain parts of the city. And I'm not going into this saying I SHALL BE A VEGETARIAN, but I can just see it happening. Maybe I'll buy some chicken once a week so I don't die.

[Limp]

Hot Dogs are cheap. Plus it's kinda like eating meat.

[NOTKyle]

You're gross.

[Daydreamer]

Watch for the meat markdowns at the grocery. 3/4 of the time the markdowns are just so-so, but sometimes they mark the meat way down to get rid of it if they have too much right before the sell by date. Freeze it.

If your store does buy one-get one free on their bagged chicken breast or tenders in the meat dept. Stock up if you have the freezer room. You can do anything with chicken and usually the chicken is good quality for frozen.

Pasta, rice, potatoes, eggs are a poor man's best friends as Scrappy said. Blocks of cheese on sale are better than shredded in the bag-get a grater and it is worth the little bit of effort to grate the cheese. Buy the big bag(5 pounds) of onions and store them right.

I remember living on mac and cheese or ramen noodles. Hamburger Helper is cheap, but fucking nasty. I had a roomie who loved that shit, but I hated it.

[Okie Medicvet]

I have a kickass recipe for a dessert I make every year for the family.

Take vanilla wafers, grind them up with a rolling pin (or you can cheat and get the graham cracker pieshells, but vanilla wafers are so much better.

Put some melted butter on the bottom of a 9 by 13 pan, then add the crushed vanilla wafers.

In a mixer, put two packages cream cheese, one large tub of cool whip, and 1/2 cup powdered sugar.

Add to top of vanilla wafers.

Then open up two chilled cans of cherry pie topping.

chill.

done. eat!

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, it should probably be brown rice. Plus baked ziti is pretty cheap and easy to make. If you want to be ballerific, just brown some chicken breast and throw that shit in there before you bake. Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil (http://www.recipezaar.com/library/getentry.zsp?id=495)
6 garlic cloves (http://www.recipezaar.com/library/getentry.zsp?id=165), minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (http://www.recipezaar.com/library/getentry.zsp?id=507)
salt & fresh ground pepper
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes (http://www.recipezaar.com/library/getentry.zsp?id=151)
3 cups water (http://www.recipezaar.com/library/getentry.zsp?id=459)
12 ounces ziti pasta (http://www.recipezaar.com/library/getentry.zsp?id=273) (3 3/4 cups)
1/2 cup heavy cream (http://www.recipezaar.com/library/getentry.zsp?id=361)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (http://www.recipezaar.com/library/getentry.zsp?id=467), grated
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf (http://www.recipezaar.com/library/getentry.zsp?id=317), minced
1 cup mozzarella cheese (http://www.recipezaar.com/library/getentry.zsp?id=746), shredded
Directions
1

Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 475.
2

Combine oil, garlic, pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in 12-inch ovensafe nonstick skillet and saute over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. (If your skillet is not ovensafe, transfer the pasta mixture into a shallow 2-quart casserole dish before sprinkling with the cheese and baking).
3

Add crushed tomatoes, water, ziti and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
4

Cover and cook, stirring often and adjusting heat as needed to maintain vigorous simmer, until ziti is almost tender, 15-18 minutes.
5

Stir in cream, Parmesan, and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6

Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over ziti. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until cheese has melted and browned, about 10 minutes. Serve.

[ElemenoP]

Ziti looks too close to Penne.... which I hate!!!!!

[BIG PIZZLE]

I actually use penne rather than ziti because it has ridges and traps more sauce. How can you hate 1 type of pasta? It all pretty much tastes the same.

[ElemenoP]

I don't know. I just hate the way it sits in my mouth... and the texture, I guess. I'd rather have farfalle or fusilli.

[Archangel]

Mafaldine, eliche, fusilli bucati lunghi and bucatini ftw.

[Don Scrappy]

for me pasta is a secondary item, I really don't care about the noodles. As long as everything else is good, the shape of the pasta is irrelevant.

[Okie Medicvet]

true, but I like angel hair pasta best because it doesn't take as long to cook.

oooh, they are doing a show on cnn right now as to whether or not drug use should be made legal.

[mongo]

shut up fatty.

[mongo]

i'm making these tomorrow. hawt.
