Well, don't ask me why, but tonight I decided to make a stromboli. It was so damn successful I just had to share this simple recipe for a kick-ass gastronomic orgasm.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT IF YOU HAVE A HEART CONDITION> DO NOT ATTEMPT IF YOU FAINT AT THE SIGHT OF POOLING RED GREASE>

Strombolistein

Serves 4 grown men, 1 grown man and a family of 4, or 16 women and children.

Ingredients (all found at any local supermarket):
1/4 pound sandwich pepperoni (larger diameter pepperoni, apprx. 12 slices)
1/2 pound capricola ham
3 cooked italian sausages, sliced
8oz. Kraft shredded Italian cheese (mozzarella with parmesan)
13oz. Pilsbury Pizza dough in the can
2 tablespoons of spaghetti sauce (I used Safeway Arabiata)
1 decent sized ripe tomato sliced thin


Preheat oven to 350. Bust out pizza dough. Lay out rectangle on large cookie sheet. Brush on spaghetti sauce. Lay out pepperoni. Lay out sliced tomato. Lay out capricola ham. Empty package of cheese evenly over the whole thing. Lay out sliced italian sausage. Roll that bad motherfucker up on the longest side. Do not let it scare you. Slice dough every two inches along the top. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and tilt to drain away excess red grease. Rejoice at your creation then slice, eat, and enjoy the Strombolistein buzz. Guaranteed to have your neighbors sniffing at your door.

IF YOU DEVIATE FROM THIS RECIPE YOU HAVE NOT CREATED STROMBOLISTEIN!

But, you can swap out fillings. Salami is suggested, even turkey, some bell pepper and onions, but from what I understand go easy on the veggies because they will make this already soggy dish even soggier.

This is a weekly eat for us. I've never tried it without a wok.

Asparagus and chicken soup!

half a chicken breast. Usually around 1/2 lb.
1 egg white
1 lb of FRESH asparagus. Less if you want.
3 cups of chicken stock.
1 ounce or so of cornflour paste (cornflour mixed well with cold water)
salt and peppa

I cut the chicken up into small bits! The size of a quarter or so.
Put em in a bowl. Add salt and and egg white. Mix it up!
Add cornflour paste to the chicken and stir a bit.
Cut the asparagus diagonally.. I toss the shit think and bitter ends.
Bring the stock to a boil in wok.
toss the asparagus in and cook until tender enough for ya. 5-15 MINUTES or longer if you like. The longer it rides out the more flavor is kicking.
Stir in the chicken mix and boil again. Season it up. I like lots of pepper.

Ingredients: 1 can solid tuna in water, dash of salt, dash of pepper.

Drain tuna. Add pepper and salt. Serve.

Add 1 part frying pan, 1 part spatula, 1-infinity heaping spoonfuls of mayonaise and much part liquified grease (+ enough flame to barely ignite said grease...) And you have the ancient Shaolin recipe of tuna croquet :thumbup:

Poorman's Jambalaya

Serves 3-5 people.

Ingredients (all found at the local supermarket):

1 package Zatrain's Jambalaya rice
2 tablespoons of butter and 2 cups water to make rice
1 package Hillshire Farm's turkey polska kielbasa
1 large ripe tomato
1-2 large serano peppers
1/4 cup corn oil

Start Zatrain's instructions and boil water and butter in a big pot. Meanwhile heat corn oil in large frying pan. Cube polska kielbasa then fry in the corn oil until blackened. Drain on paper towels. Cube tomato and slice serano peppers. Add Zatrain's rice, package of seasonings, fried polska kielbasa, tomato and serano peppers to pot. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Total cost? Probably around 7-8$.

I have a variation that includes flour-dusted and seasoned chicken breast and shrimps, but thats more complicated.

Chicken casserole:

5 skinless boneless chicken breasts
a large package of frozen mixed vegetables
a large can of Cream of Mushroom soup
3/4 of a package of Velveeta
3/4 of a large package of egg noodles
3/4 of a large bag of Ruffles potato chips OR a large can of french fried onions

Boil the chicken breasts in a large pan of water until they fall apart.
Remove the chicken and cut it into bite size pieces.
Pour the noodles into the chicken broth water and cook them half-way, then add the package of frozen vegetables and cook them all together until done.
While the noodles and vegies are cooking, slice up the velveeta into small cubes and heat in a saucepan with about half a cup or so of milk for consistency.
Take the vegies and chicken and noodles and put them in a large casserole dish, mix in the can of cream of mushroom soup until well blended.
Pour the 3/4 of the heated cheese sauce over the casserole mixture, without mixing it in, just as a coating. Sprinkle the crushed chips or the can of french fried onions on top, and drizzle the rest of the cheese sauce ontop of that for added flavor.
Bake in an oven, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
Remove, let cool and serve.
Feeds quite a few people. It will feed 2 adults and three children with enough left overs for two lunches the next day for adults.

Lightly coat pepper of your choice in olive oil, use a brush or the backside of a spoon. I prefer all three (red yellow green) because I like colors. Put it on a hot grill. Turn it occasionally. Pepper is done when outer skin becomes soft. Cut up peppers. Place over cooked angel hair pasta and drizzle with olive oil.

I've said this before: stick of cream cheese, some cool whip, and some melted chocolate chips. It's something vaguely reminiscent of mousse.

Cut a few celery stalks into 3-inch pieces.
Smear peanutbutter in the "trench" of each piece.
Eat.

Pour a big can of beans in a casserole pan.

Add some spare ribs. Cook at 400 for 45 mins.

Add crushed pineapple. Cook for 15 more minutes.

Done.

That's how scottish folks do it.

It's finally over 60 degrees and sunny here...gets me in the mood to fire up that grill. Food is good, but liquor is better.

Summer Brew:

1 Case Beer- quality is important in the opposite way, you want something very thin and very light ie. Keystone Light. Tallboys if you need more brew.

1 Gallon Vodka - that's two handles standard, more to make it harder, flavored vodka if you want to get goofy. again, you can be cheap here. no need to mix goose with keystone. Everclear can be substituted if you like to party really, really hard.

6 - 12 Cans of Lemonade (or Limeade) concentrate - range to suit your taste and how much you're making.

Ice.

Dump all the ingredients in a suitable container and mix until concentrate melts and blends in. Serve and innjoy. Perfect for a nice spring day.

You should be shot (twice in the head) for ever seriously suggesting Keystone Light to anyone.

Well, I was going to say Schlitz but I didn't want to be too regional.

You can put any beer you want in it, but there's no point in buying even a decent domestic when cheap beer does just fine.

Well if we are talking about drinks.


Get a fifth of Vodka, Triple Sec and some lime juice.

In the morning....early like around 8ish

Mix the bottle of Vodka with half of the bottle of Triple Sec. We like to do this in a nice big glass pitcher.

Add Lime juice to taste, about 4 ounces..then put in fridge.

Then when the cook-out is going nicely, break out the mix...put ice in the glasses, and pour away.

Kamakazi's anyone?

Best Chicken Wings Ever

package of whole chicken wings (fresh not the frozen kind)
3 fresh big fat juicy tomatoes (you can get the canned chopped if you want)
3-4 big huge cloves of garlic (crushed and chopped up)
Cracked Pepper
Kosher Salt
Handful of fresh chopped basil (can use the paste if you want)
1/2 a handful of fresh mint chopped
1/2 hand of italian parsley chopped
1/4 olive oil
Water if necessary

Wash the skank off the chicken then place into a big ziplock. Add your salt and pepper (don't be stingy with it or cheap with the kind of salt you buy). Crush the tomatoes in a mortar/pestal or use your hands and pour into the bag. Throw all the rest of the stuff in the bag. I usually mash (with mortar/pestal) the herbs up with a bit of salt and all of the garlic to get all the flavor activated. If you don't have enough liquid from the tomatoes and oil add a little bit of water so that all the chicken is covered when you squeeze the air out of the bag and seal it. Let it marinate for 1 hour on each side (just flip the bag over) in the frig. Then grill (prefence is a real bbq that cooks with wood/charcoal like the Big Green Egg).

TRY IT NOW! You will thank me.

1/2 cup soy sauce.
Couple tablespoons of the chili sauce you can usually buy in the Asian Foods area.
Couple tablespoons of vinegar.
Tablespoon of minced garlic.
Brown sugar - how much really depends on how sweet you want it.
Fresh ginger.
Couple tablespoons of olive oil.

Toss it all in a sauce pan, let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. Pour over your favorite meat (incredibly yummy with shrimp), let marinade for at least a couple hours.

Cook - preferably grill.

I've been trying to mimic PF Chang's Kung Pao sauce, and this seems to be reasonably close.

The chili garlic paste? That's great stuff and I use that in so many dishes.

Dilute it up a bit with some water and pour over soba noodles... Mmmmm. I'm starving right now.
