Recipes!

[Kerb]

Ooo i was waiting for someone to bring up cooking Im hoping to get into school for it. I will try to find some good recipes to post up.

[Sastora]

Woah! That video Big John is crazy. I never really had anything with fires but I still never would have know what to do in an oil fire. I know not to pour water on it just not what to actually do. Glad I know now. And your Gumbo sounds tasty.

[Kerb]

MMMM gumbo is AMAZING if done right, just can let that roux burn in the beginning, and a little while ago there was a massive grease fire in the rotisserie oven at my work, and my exec chef put out the entire thing with 8 or 9 boxes of Salt. It was interesting to see, and slightly frightening lol

[g_e_oos]

Might have been frightening but hey, salt works. I learned a lot about fire and what to avoid when putting it out when I went through my pyro phase.

[Sastora]

Really? I didn't know that Mikey. Well now I feel safer. C:

Key Lime Pie:

-One 9" Graham cracker pie shell
-One 14 oz. can Sweetened condensed milk
-Three egg yolks (Whites not used)
-1/2 cup of Key lime juice (Goose's family and I use Nellie and Joe's famous Key West Lime Juice but I doubt you'll find it in your stores but you can try. it is a pale yellow bottle with a green lid but you can use any key lime juice.)

Combine milk, egg yolks and lime juice.
Blend until Smooth.
Pour fulling into pie shell and bake at 350 degrees for 15 min.
Let stand 10 min. before refrigerating .
Just before serving top with whipped cream.

And yes for the people who are non believers there are such things as key limes!

edit: Oh and you'll never find a better key lime pie than that.

I just thought I better mention the issue with oil fires since my recipe calls for heating oil… I don’t want to see any one of you get hurt. (I used to hate it when my Mom told me that)
The short lesson on firefighting is that fire needs 4 things to survive (burn)

1. Heat
2. Fuel
3. Oxygen
4. Space

Take out any one of the four, and the fire dies. In the Youtube video the oxygen was removed by covering the pot with a damp towel. At Kerbs work rotisserie oven, the Executive Chef extinguished the fire by removing its space.

Back to the Gumbo, this is what Big John makes Mrs. Big John when Mrs. Big John notices a new gun in “the vault”! – Always a surefire way to get Big John out of the dog house!
Ok, that’s enough educational programming for one post…now everybody –GET BACK TO YOUR VIDEO GAMES!!!

BTW ~ Anybody Like Wings? *==>* I make the best!

[g_e_oos]

Sorry Big John. My family makes the best wings. You'll lose every time in that category.

[BigJohn 308]

BTW Sas,
Whenever I’m in Tampa I make it a point to load up on:

• Cuban Sandwiches (Nom Nom nom…)
• Black Bean Soup
• Key Lime Pie!

[Sastora]

When do you ever come to Tampa?
I'd make you the best key lime pie ever if I ever see you. Lol.
It really is the best.

Goose,
When you call down the Thunder, you best expect rain and pain!!!!

INFIDEL!! I herby challenge you to a virtual wing battle – and we will allow our fellow cC’ians decide once and for all who wings reign supreme! I’ll post my recipe, you post yours the cC’ians make ‘em at home and report to us back here!

Since I challenged you to this duel, choose your weapon: (errr, sauce category)
• Hot
• Medium

The stake will be high here…. The loser has to provide the winner with a free virtual beer to wash down his victory!

*Big John removes gloves and smacks Goose in the face*

My wife’s parents live over at Indian Rocks Beach. It makes a nice retreat during the winter from the Cold & Snow of Ohio. And I'll pick up some key limes to verify your claim of "Best"!

[Sastora]

Well thats pretty cool. I'm sure thats the only time I'll come down to Florida once I move. Its to hot here.
Ha-ha. Sweet!! We'll have to try yours when you post the recipe 'cause I already know that Goose's is good.

[Kerb]

i will gladly give those wing recipes a try . POST EM UP!!!

[BigJohn 308]

Kerb, I’ll give Goose ‘till my bedtime tonight to decide whether the challenge is for hot or medium wings. If he does not respond by then, I’ll post up my entry in this battle.

You, as our first judge need to make both sauces exactly to the posted recipe, then report your decision on whose is best. You will also be tasked with finding more volunteers to undertake this mission & have them follow suit.

Goose - I’m having wings tomorrow night for dinner….YOUR WINGS! Post up your recipe or else I will hack into your account and affix a permanent “Dominated by Big John” banner as your avatar!

Muhahahahaaaaa!!!!!

[BigJohn 308]

Well... it's bedtime. My entry is for - HOT.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Big John’s Soon to be Award Winning Hot Wings!

Phase I, The Sauce.

Ingredients:
1 Quart Franks Red Hot Sauce
2 Sticks Margarine (not butter)
1/4 Cup Prepared Horseradish (Prepared = out of a bottle)
3 Large, Fresh Jalapeño Peppers minced extra fine
2 Packets Goya Sazo`n
Whole fresh roadkill Jackalope

Start the sauce about 1 hour before you expect to serve dinner.
• In a medium sized saucepan, melt the two sticks of Margarine under medium low heat
• Add the quart of Franks Red Hot and increase heat to medium high
• Also add both packets of Sazo`n, Horseradish and minced Jalapeños
• Tenderize jackalope with meat tenderizing mallet & feed to dog whole
• Adjust the heat to render sauce to a slow boil, stirring occasionally
• When you notice the sauce is separating ( it will kind have a dark liquid develop in it) Mix sauce back together with whisk and reduce heat to simmer.
• Sauce is ready to be served and is now reduced (thickened) to stick better to the Wings.

Phase II, The Wings.

• Preheat Deep Fryer to 360 Degrees (oven cooked wings just ain’t the same.)
• Make sure wings are fully thawed and relatively dry.
• Drop wings for 2 minutes, remove from oil, allow time for deep fryer to return to 360 Degrees
• After Deep fryer is back to 360, drop wings again for 7 to 9 minutes (depending on size)
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees to keep first batch warm while repeating above process to make sufficient supply to feed everybody.

Phase III,

Serve & Enjoy with veggie tray and seasoned frys!

[Kerb]

Big John’s Soon to be Award Winning Garlic Wings!

Phase I, The Sauce.

Ingredients:

1 Quart Franks Red Hot Sauce
2 Sticks unsalted butter
1 Packet Goya Sazo`n
¾ Head of Garlic (yes...3/4 of a full head of garlic!)


• In a medium sized saucepan, melt the two sticks of Unsalted Butter under medium low heat.
• Add the quart of Franks Red Hot and increase heat to medium high.
• Add Galic & Sazo`n to pot
• Adjust the heat to render sauce to a slow boil, stirring occasionally
• When you notice the sauce is separating ( it will kind have a dark liquid develop in it) Mix sauce back together with whisk and reduce heat to simmer.
• Sauce is ready to be served and is now reduced (thickened) to stick better to the Wings

[BigJohn 308]

Opps! Forgot to mention that the garlic is to be minced very fine after the paper skins are removed from each clove.

[Kerb]

Good to Know

[captainAngry]

BigJohn, you won at Franks. Your double won at the 3/4 head of garlic.

[BigJohn 308]

Thanks for the vote of support Capt! But I kind feel like I only won this gunfight because I was standing on the street all alone at high noon. Plus, I was looking forward to trying Goose’s wings. Hope I didn’t scare him off…

[Sastora]

No you didn't, I think it's because he has been so busy.
His brother is getting married tomorrow so for the past week or two they have been really busy cleaning and getting things ready.

[captainAngry]

Okay bigJohn, I got all the ingrediants for the first kind of wings and plan on making them this weekend. I'll let you know how they turn out.

Also, where do you buy all that franks from. A quart is like a bottle and a half of the biggest bottle they sell at my grocery store (~22oz). 32oz in a quart.

Anyway, i'm sure they will be delicious.

[BigJohn 308]

Check out the Bulk retailers like Costco or Sam’s Club for large Franks Red Hot by the gallon, it will run about $8. You can also find it at restaurant supply stores like GFS.
Sazo`n can be a bit tricky to come by at times…Try the Latin foods isle at Wal Mart , Krogers or any Mexican foods store. If no luck there, PM me a shipping address and I’ll send some your way… though I doubt you will receive same by this weekend. Living deep in the backwoods, I buy everything in bulk for storage.

And if everybody is gonna stay at your place for wing night at Capt’s, be sure to pick up a case of Yuengling Lager…. Specially formulated to wash down the hot wing sauce!

Yuengling

Sas,
Tell Goose we were raggin and talkin’ smack on him because he never posted his wing recipes!
(That ought’a bring him back in here, lol)

[Rage Quit Master]

ugh i know some filipino food but im not sure if im accurate enough...

[Ex-PFC Wintergreen]

Bring it alpha. I cant get enough of that stuff. I got some Filipino friends and they make this noodles and these rolls that are awesome. I have had plenty of the stuff and it never gets old. But they only make it for parties.

[Ex-PFC Wintergreen]

Ok, Sorry about the lack of bacon cake recipes but I lost the exact recipe so here is an improv.

Make a German Chocolate cake (just the cake part) try this recipe http://annies-eats.com/2009/08/12/germa ... late-cake/ Then Fry up some bacon ( I suggest in the pan or the oven) Until the bacon is nice and crispy.

Melt semi sweet chocolate and put the bacon in and place the bacon aside on wax paper to harden.

Make chocolate ganache to your liking and use it to glue the bacon to the cake.

I made mine in a spring form pan but feel free to make a layer cake.

Note: This is just guidelines feel free to experiment. I made this on a bet but it's good.
