I fully support and encourage my wife and her cooking hobby. A subscription to Gourmet magazine was the best Christmas gift I have gotten her.

Of course I take charge of anything that goes on the grill since I am a man after all. :duck:

Aaaw, I\'ll cook for you Cobby :)

My specialty: Kate\'s Gourmet Lot Grilled Cheese

huge-ass pieces of 9-grain bread
salted butter
cojack cheese
seared ham (optional)
damiana/oregano
fresh tomatoes or pickles (optional)

Directions: Slather both sides of bread with salted butter. Shake a little damiana (kinda hard to find, use oregano in a pinch) on it. Put one piece of bread in the skillet with cheese on top. While the grilled cheese is cooking, put some coldcut ham in the skillet and sear it a bit (just to get it warm and a little crispy). Put ham and tomatoes/pickles on top of the cheese, add the other piece of bread, and flip.

I like to dip mine in honey mustard or bbq sauce when it\'s still hot.

Other things I like to make: chocolate fondue, chocolate sheet cake, parmesan chicken, and anything I can grill - steak, chicken, lamb, whatever.

General dinners in my house at FU over the course of a week are (in a vaguely random order):

Pasta with jar sauce (twice)
Burgers (twice)
Chicken, no frills, maybe marinated if we think of it the night before (twice)
Grinders from A&S Italian Market

Between the seven of us I\'m sure that we could make something decent every once in a great while, but on any given night we are collectively one if not all of the following: broke, lazy, and cheap.

Not that great of a cook, but not bad.

Chris M, a truely great cook is the one who can make a good meal from whatever is around the house. So I guess that is you.

I make a MEAN egg scramble (serve with garlic & onion homefries etc,)... have several different types of scramble that I like. Also have come up with a couple of good, simple recipes for marinating salmon. I fucking LOVE salmon. Recently figured out how to make white bread pudding (sounds gross but it is actually really good, especially with the half bottle of jack daniels in the sauce...) As far as the desserts go I think baking is pretty easy and I do it with some frequency. Really not that much of a chef, but I\'m getting better!

I don\'t know. i think it was National Lampoons TV Pilots that didn\'t make it... or something along those lines, it\'s at your local rental place. they have other ones like how would it take to do this..... like liking bums on the street and messed up stuff like that. They have this highlarious one called the Amazing Racist where this guy picks up a bunch of illegal immigrants and offers them a job to build his deck, they all pile into this guys pick up and he drives right up Immigration Office and starts yelling. funny shit to watch on rainy days like these.

I can cook just about anything. Sometimes I might need a recipe to give me an idea of what is to be done, but I usually can make it without no problems.

As a man of the kitchen, I still have a few things that I really want to be able to make and have it be my own flavor/style. One is Homemade sauce, not being Italian but loving Italian cusine, this is a must. I have a recipe from an old Italian but something just isn\'t right. Another thing that is a must for any man and his grill is BBQ. BBQ is easy but its how you use it, I think. Rips, damn I wish I had a smoker.

That being said, cook away. Because of this rain, I have cooked dinner all week, usually starting from scratch. It seems to be the only way to make a few dollars off of the folks.

I make a mean pizza - of any type.

I know that\'s blasphemey on a board hosted in "the pizza mecca" but I will defend my claim...

Also, there is a book called "patio-dadio" that has "rock and rollin" recipes from the "50s" for weber grills.

The "rock and rolling baby back ribs" are pretty much heaven. I have never figured out how to make a "paste" so I add 1 bottle per rack of your favourite store bbq sauce as a thickener.

I love cooking but SUCK at it.  I always end up burning something, frequently myself.

The dish I\'m most proud of:  Swedish Meatballs.

Understanding my skillz, you\'ll realize why grilled PB&J, is my favorite dish.  Quick, easy, tasty and low rent.

Directions:
1. Make a PB&J Sandwich.  I like using thin slices of that giant Italian bread they sell @ Stop & Shop
2. Butter the outside of your sandwich
3. Grill to a golden brown.  

The secret to success:  You don\'t want to slow cook, \'cause the PB liquifies and makes a real sloppy sandwich.  Get your grill super hot, so you can flash cook it, sealing in all that PB&J goodness.

Garnish w/ your favorite hostees product, possibly a ring ding or maybe a lil\'Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie, and you\'ve got yourself a meal fit for a pig, errrr, I mean King.

Wow.  Definitely don\'t remember posting that.  Good stuff.

For Breakfast cooks that I have eaten, it comes down to Nikki Esposito vs. Adrian.  Their showdowns at family jams were as epic as the shows.

A cookoff would be a great idea.  Would probably happen at Peck\'s annual summer BBQ.  Everyone who thinks they\'re worth a damn in the kitchen should bring two dishes, and Pitchie can organize the tourney-style judging.    

I make a mean meatball and a very good lasagna and a very good pot brownie.  That\'s about it.

We\'ll call this "Tenesse Fried Chicken" or something stupid like that:

Get as much chicken as you want - one or two whole friers, then carve them up or maybe a half-dozen leg quaters (I recomend the latter)

Place into a large baggies
 
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons each of
              Pepper or that Hot Shot red/black pepper combination
              Ginger
              Crushed Rosemary
              Kosher salt
              Cumin
              2 tabs of choi-soy oil (or whatever spicey oil you want)
Mix up.
 
One at a time, put the pieces of chicken into the bag and shake thoroughly.
 
As you finish with the pieces, set them to rest on a dry service (like a cutting board).
 
Let the pieces rest like this for a few minutes, for example, while the oil is heating.
 
Heat about 2/3 cup of Crisco in the frying pan, set at high temp, maybe 375.
(If you are cooking more chicken than will fit in a single pan, spread it out, YO)
 
After the Crisco is all dissolved, pay attention,  You need to judge for the oil being hot enough.  You can put one piece in, but if it doesn’t start cooking quickly you should wait a little longer.
 
Check the chicken frequently, every minute or so, trying to flip each piece about every 2 or 3 minutes.
 
After 10 minutes reduce heat (maybe 330-340).
 
Cook for 30 more minutes, checking and flipping frequently but not flipping excessively.  
Remember “you need to ‘worry’ the chicken”.

ADD-ONs:

Chicken-Biscuts:
Take the remaining spicey flour and mix it (or not) with normal flour to make biscuts. The amount of mixing you do will depend on how spicey you want your biscuts. Uncut is very spicey, 50/50 is spicey and 25(spicey)/75 is tangy.

A cookoff would be a great idea.  Would probably happen at Peck\'s annual summer BBQ.  Everyone who thinks they\'re worth a damn in the kitchen should bring two dishes, and Pitchie can organize the tourney-style judging.    



I\'d be down for that.

Prizes?

Nothing like sitting down for 4 hours and making a cheese cake from scratch. Start by mixing your flour, sugar  and eye yolks to make the base cake, skip a few dozen steps, add in some amaretto for flavor while mixing the cream cheese, skip a few steps, pour the cake into the spring pan, put the spring pan in another pan full of water, bake for a few hours, get drunk off the left over batter, clean up, let the cake cool for 2 hours, cover with saran wrap and put in fridge for 12-24 hours, remove spring pan, cut with dental floss, take a package of ghirardelli and a 80% chocolate bar. hold about 20% of each to the side, melt the rest with a mixture of vanilla and water, pour over the cake. either add to that fruit like strawberries or carmel. the carmel was a mess but tasted pretty good. Take the remaining chocolate and use a knife to shave it (it should curl as you do, otherwise you\'re chunking it). Get a mixture of shavings and chunks and sprinkle over the cake, get your friends drunk.

the only really hard part is getting the batter mixture right. Every time you add alcohol, you\'re putting more fluid into the mix which changes its texture. You need to add another half block of cheese for every cup of amaretto. I like to push it to 2 3/4 cups per cake. The cake should have a distinct pink colour to it. If not, you need more alcohol.
