Just made a nommy, yet spicy asparagus soup.

Had some homemade jalapeño bacon cheeseburgers with guacamole yesterday. It turned out pretty good



And earlier this week I made my choc-chip chocolate cake with creamcheese filling. I spent two years in baking school, but figured I could never get up for work at 2-3 in the morning. So now the skills I aquired are spent on baking cakes for family events...

Cheese on toast. So good.

Cheese on toast. So good.

Hmmmm sounds good. One of the most idiotic things I've ever witnessed is seeing my nephew make cheese on toast with ketchup in the middle.

He's lucky to still have a roof in his mouth after biting that, he assured me it tasted good despite two days of having a mouth like the Fallout wasteland.

My friend was babysitting his nephew and niece and when he asked what they wanted as a snack, they said vanilla ice cream. He got them some from the freezer and they put a drizzle of ketchup on it. They insisted it tasted good, and so he tried it and said that it was actually pretty good. He kept harping on me about this for years since it sounds pretty revolting to me. Then I tried it, and it wasn't as bad as I had anticipated.

To this day, I still don't know whether he made up that story and was just trolling me.

+ Vodka, give it a good mix, serve over pasta and you have the worst-sounding vodka sauce I could ever conceive.

[Changston]

The answer lies in using top shelf vodka.

Somehow missed these images when I looked at this thread earlier. Wow. Both of these things I want now in my mouth.

I dont know if anyone tried this but roll a piece of bacon around a dadel and barbeque the shit ouda it.. THE SHIT! And you have a bite-size madafaking veinclogger that should be banned because of the deliciousness that will explode in faces and mouths. Try and join the dark side.

[Victor]

Dayum.

[Flamoctapus]

I need to learn how to make stuff like that. Fast food is getting old as shit.

[GlowBear]

You can really make funky tasty meals from a tiny tiny budget.

[Panzadolphin56]

And the stuff you make's usually much better for you aswell.

[bbrigg]

That probably cost me a total of $6 or $7. And I have three more pork chops left. Get a small gas grill. Marinate them shits in some Dale's steak seasoning. Grill them fuckers up and enjoy.

Share some recipes? Lets start off with one of my favourites. Pizza!

Spoiler!

Dough

Start off with 1,5-2 tablespoons of good olive oil, 1 teaspoon of honey (greek is the bomb) and a pinch of salt


dissolve about 12 grams of fresh yeast with 1 dl of lukewarm water, and get about 170 grams of flour ready.


Pour the yeast-mix and flour in with the oil and honey and mix for 4-5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to a new bowl, roll the dough around in the bowl so that it gets coated with oil. Cover with plastic film and set in a warm place for 1-2 hours. It should tripple in size.


Sauce

This recipe will be enough for 4-5 pizzas, depending on how saucy you like it.

Ingredients:
400gr canned tomatoes (I recommend Polpa, really nice chopped italian tomatoes)
2 tablespoons tomato puré
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 a chili (or more!) - finely chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic - finely chopped
1/2 - 2/3 of a large onion - finely chopped
2 topped teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon fresh basil
salt/pepper



Just bring the chopped tomatoes, the puré and olive oil to a boil (low-medium heat setting), add the onion, garlic and chili. Let it boil for about 3 minutes before adding the herbs. Let it boil for another 2-3 minutes before tasting your way to perfection with salt and pepper.

Should end up looking a bit like this



Topping/finished pizza

I use a mix of Jarlsberg cheese and Permasan cheese, but you could use whatever you like


Oven should be pre-heated to 250ºC, with the pizza stone inside the oven. Take it out and sprinkle it with corn flour (wheat flour will get burned).


Place your dough in the centre and work it out across the surface using the palm of your hand. Should be somewhere between 2-4mm in thickness. Be careful not to work your way through the dough, as the stone will be crazy hot! If this scares you, just work the dough out on the counter before putting it on the stone. The reason I place the dough on the stone so early is simple, I love a crispy crust. It looks sexy and the mix of texture between crispy dough, silky sauce and soft cheese is heavenly....mmmmm, oh yeah, on with the rest of the recipe!

Drizzle some olive oil over the dough and smear it out. This will keep the sauce from seeping into the dough.Quickly add 3 (or so) tablespoons of your sauce and top it with cheese and the meat/veggies of your choice.

Should take 5-8 minutes in the oven for your pizza to be done. Sprinkle with basil og oregano (depending on your topping) and have a jolly good time!

You'll have a nice italian pizza in no time! And the sauce is 90% of the work, so after making a batch, portion it in plasic bags and put it in the freezer. Making a new pizza only takes you 10 minutes (+1-2 hour wait for the dough)
