Yeah this is the food thread where recipies and favorite foods shall be discussed :)

And btw I like my tea strong, with a little milk and no sugar :yuck: .
 
For some odd reason, (that most of you still don't even have to provide for yourselfs yet!) I don't think that a Cooking Forum would be all that popular.

What would I do, give out instructions on how to microwave hot pockets and frozen pizza's? :D

Although, we could possibly do a "manifold cooking" segment! :P
Do things like how to cook steak and potatoes in your engine compartment or reheating slices of old pizza on the dash board! (been there! VW's heaters are the best for this.)

Food for thought! :P

Peace,

Boom
 
Boom,
I have a recipe for potato soup that will make you "slap yo' mama."
The base is Sausage biscuit gravy.
 
I wont give amounts as the amounts that I have in my head make about 5 gallons! :D But I'm sure you all could wing it with ease.

Wild Game Chili:

-Minced garlic
-Minced shallots (widly available or a small red onion)
-Poblano chilis, diced (widely available)
-Vidalia onion, diced (or a yellow onion)
-Kidney beans (canned)
-Black beans (canned)
-Large diced tomatoes
-Ground Phesant (or chicken or turkey)
-Ground Buffalo (or beef, but buffalo can be found in local markets)
-Ground Elk (venison meat or you could use beef, or omit completely)
-Beef stock (or some sort of beef base or bullion, canned beef stock can be found in the markets)
-Chili powder
-Paprika
-Beer (something nice, not Budweiser! :P )
-Red wine (just table quality is acceptable)
-Ground Cumin (a dried spice of the cilantro family)
-Fresh chopped Thyme (an herb widely available)
-Choalula (a typical hot sauce)
-Chipotles, diced (a canned variety is acceptable, it's essentially a dried and smoked jalapeno)
-Roasted habeneros, diced (extremely hot if not roasted)
-salt and pepper
-vegtable oil
-whole butter
-molassas
-brown sugar

Method:

-In a medium sized pot add vegtable oil and all the meats and cook on high heat until the meats are well browned.
-Add the garlic, shallots, poblanos and onions to the pot and continue to cook until they are soft.
-add beer, and red wine. (this will "deglaze" your cooking pot and release all the flavors and scrumptious pieces of food that get stuck to the pot.
-reduce the wine and beer until it is almost gone. (called "au sec" in French, or meaning "almost dry", reduction will intensify flavors as liquid is evaporated)
-Now add, all the beans (with all there liquid), tomatos, beef stock and diced chipotles and roasted habeneros. (roasting procedure will follow later)
-bring to a boil and then turn down the heat to a simmer and cook for about 2 hours.
-add spices. Remember to add in small amounts and taste often for your flavors as they will intensify the longer the cooking process.
-When finished, add salt and pepper to taste and the chopped thyme. Wisk in the butter, and add molassas and brown sugar to taste. This will add flavors and cut into any heat.

Special technique: If your chili is too spicy hot, adding cocoa powder will reduce the heat of your spice.

Roasting the habeneros:

-lightly coat the habeneros in oil and put into a 400-500 degree oven and let cook until the skin is dark brown and blistered. Remove from oven, let cool and peel off the skin and brown parts and remove the seeds. The pepper should be very soft at this point. Then dice small.

Enjoy! ;)
 
Okay,

1. You take 7-10 medium potatoes (taters). More if you want it to be a thicker consistency.
and bake them for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
(If you bake them the day before and refrigerate they'll be easier to peel)
2. Cook up a pound (package) of bacon
Cook it pretty crisp and then chop it up.
3. Save the drippings and saute' a good sized chopped Vidalia onion in them.
4. Get a package (or two) of Sausage biscuit gravy and mix it up according to the package directions.
5. Add a 16 oz can of Chicken Stock.
6. Put the Gravy/Stock mix in the Crockpot on medium heat
7. Add the Chopped onions and bacon to the crock pot.
8. Chop up the peeled baked potatoes and add to the pot.
Stir occasionally. When the whole thing is hot you will have potato soup that will have the 'bite' of a good Sausage biscuit.

This is a good one to have going while you're out snowboarding.
Much better than hot chocolate when you get home!! :D

For you health food nuts: yes it is a glorious, wonderful artery clogger. Go hang out with Calista Flockhart if you can't get into real "slap yo' mamma" food. :D
 
Gil, that's a good one! You know what, I might actually try that at work here soon. I got all the fixins for it there and it seems really easy!

Work smarter, not harder right!

My mama is gonna get slapped! haha!


Well, how about a food "thread" instead of a whole forum? This would suffice I suppose!

Keep em' comming guy's and gals!
 
It's really easy.
I take it to pot lucks at work and set up my crock pot in the (locked) med room.

Suffice it to say that I have to get my bowl early on.:D
The women I work with think it's great.
Too good for me to have had a hand in making it!:D
 
Hey Gil!

Once I get to work today, I'll fill this thread full of some mama slappin recipe's and the like!

Remember everyone: "Fat is flavor, and flavor is our friend." haha!
And don't forget the salt.

I would love to try some Mr. Holland. And how about serving it in some original Dutch coffee cups? ;)

I could send you some, but then the coffee would be cold before you could taste it.
I will send you some dutch cups, and then you can think you're drinking my coffee;)
And some original Dutch VLA:D

I would love that! If your serious, I'll reimburse you for all costs!

Don't know exactly how that would work, but I'd give it a shot!
 
Here's some pics of the foods that I do at work: Damn, 56k'ers beware.

I would recommend a food thread in the Rumble Strip for food discussions - I don't think a forum dedicated to the subject would be all that popular.
 
Well, Jordan said we should, so here's a thread about food. I'll start my my recipe for chicken curry...

Serves 2, is about Madras strength (very, but not extremely hot if you're not a curry fan)

2 chicken breasts (yeah, one per person!)
2 large onions
6 - 8 cloves garlic
2 bird-eye (extremely hot) chillis
4oz/100g fresh coriander
2 Spring Onions
6tbsp sunflower oil
4oz salted butter
Ground coriander
Ground tamarind
Ground Cumin
Ground Ginger
Ground Turmeric
Hot Chilli Powder
1 chicken stock cube
2 bay leaves
1 14oz/400g tin peeled plum tomatoes in tomato juice

Directions:
Cut the chicken into cubes.
Peel one onion and cut in half length-ways.
Chop one half of the onion into large squares. Chop the other half of the onion into strips length-ways.
Add 1tbsp of sunflower oil and all the butter to a large saucepan, heat until butter melted and bubbling, but not burned.
Gently fry all the chicken and the chopped onion.
While this is frying, prepare the sauce mix.
Find a blender, and add all the garlic into it. Use the blender to chop the garlic.
Cut all the stems off the fresh coriander to leave principally leaves. Add the stems to the chopped garlic in the blender.
Add the other 3tbsp oil.
Now add all the ground/dried spices. The quantities are up to yourself, but I would recommend about 2 heaped teaspoons of each. You'll be able to adjust to taste once it's all in the pot.
Roughly chop the second onion and add this to the blender also.
Blend until you have a fine paste.
Add the paste to the pan, along with the tin of tomatoes, the stock cube, and 1.5 pints/750ml of boiling water.
Bring to the boil stirring constantly, then turn down to a simmer.
Simmer until the sauce is thick and smooth. (this is typically 60 - 90mins)

When the sauce is thick and smooth, about 2 mins before serving, check spiciness is as appropriate. You're looking for it to be a little milder than your final intention, because you're about to add chilli to it, for a fresh spicy kick.

Chop the 2 chillis and add them to the mix. Also roughly chop the spring onions and coriander. Add these to the mix approximately 30 seconds before serving (you want them to be warm only, not cooked)

Serve with your choice of rice, naan etc.

No, stupid, they have those on the box. Move on to something more complicated like Ramen noodles.
