So, what do people cook when they're just rooting around the fridge/pantry for dinner-oid objects.

---what Death cooks:

Pseudo-Asian Curry

1lb. Chicken breast or extra-firm tofu, cut into bite-sized chunks
3 medium onions, chopped finely
3 medium potatoes, chopped coarsely (may be omitted)
3TBsb Olive oil
16oz Coconut milk (not lite coconut milk]
Yellow Curry Powder or similar to taste

Tools; Moderately large saucepan

Chop onions into small, but not tiny pieces and fry them on high heat in the olive oil until the onions have become little blackened crisps and the bottom of your pot is covered in a sheen of burnt onion bits. Dump in your can of coconut milk to deglaze the pan. Once the pan is fully deglazed, add your curry powder, perhaps 3TBsb to start - you can always add more later. Add the potatoes to the pot. If using chicken, add at this point, if tofu, allow the pot to boil lazily for aprox. 15 minutes and add the tofu ~5 minutes before you are ready to serve. Add more curry powder if desired - I generally use ~6TBsb, but it varies. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with white rice (asian, NOT converted american crap).

Enjoy!

I face a challenge at step #2.

How to smear jelly on one side and peanut butter on the other side simultaneously and without losing any???

I am at the experimental stage, and frankly, the kitchen is a mess...

Cheese. Mayo. Mustard. Sandwich toaster.
What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.

Can of sardine in tomato sauce
Hot peppers (optional)
Soy sauce

1. open can of sardine
2. dump content into frying pan
3. add 1/4 can of water
4. add 2-4 spoon of soy sauce
5. throw in diced hot peppers
6. let boil for 2-4 minutes or when sauce is at desired consistency
7. serve over rice or dip with bread

I lived on this for one semester...hmm...now I have a craving for it. Guess I know what I'm gonna have for lunch today!

ETA: make sure you use the canned sardines from the Ethnic (i.e. Asian) aisle. It won't taste as good if you use the canned sardines from the regular aisle.

voodoo recommends hot indian curries. Vindaloo strength at the very least. Tofu or chicken. Pork only if you are in that kind of mood. Fresh vegetables are a must. Put some love into it and you're all set!

Plate of Cheese and a glass of Beer

1/2 lbs. of good cheese (like Kraft or a good locally made processed cheese food product)
6-pack of beer (preferably something Belgian, a well made American micro-brewed beer, or for best results a home brew made by Kilbey)


1. Take cheese and slice into bit sized pieces
2. Using a non-frosted glass, that will hold the whole beer in one pour, pour the beer into the glass using a technique that will yield a head on the beer that is about 3/4 inch.

This can only best be enjoyed watching a sporting event or good movie. It will taste awful if eating while Queer Eye for the Str8 Guy is on.

And lastly, the cheese will taste better after every beer consumed.

I recommend letting your significant other handle the kitchen chores. It's safer that way.

It's "Tbsp" for tablespoon, and "Tsp" for teaspoon.

And just an idea for next time you make this: a lof of spices have flavor compounds that are oil-soluble, and benefit from basically frying the spices in the oil before adding liquid. So try adding the curry powder in when the onions are almost done, but before the coconut milk.

Mike and Ben's Marijuanerific Brownies

ingredients
2g reefer
1/2 stick of butter
1 cube of unsweetened baker's chocolate
1/2 cup of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
pinch of salt
1/4 cup of flour
1/2 of 1 egg (���)


How to Do It

We started with roughly 2 grams of pretty good quality reefer what we ordered from a delivery service here in NYC. The important thing here is to get it as finely chopped as possible. Start by taking out all the little sticks that are substantial enough to be noticed. Once you have it de-sticked take out a very sharp chef's knife and get to chopping. We spend a long time chopping this sh�t and it came down to a pretty fine consistency.



For the experienced cooks: Melt some butter in a bain-marie. For the inexperienced: while you're chopping have a saucepan boiling some water on the stove. In the water you need to have a second container like a glass or a small bowl in which you should melt the butter.



When the butter is all meltinated add the reefer and let that cook like that for about an hour. When this is done have your chocolate square broken up and pour it all into the butter mixture. you don't need to break it up, but it will melt much faster if you do. Once you have the consistency very smooth take it off the heat and begin to add the sugar. Add the sugar bit by bit, stirring as you go to keep it smooth.





Make sure that the mixture is cooled down and then add the egg. If the mixture is too hot and it cooks the egg you have FUKCED YOUR BROWNIES UP, so be careful. Mix that in and then slowly add the flour, baking powder and salt. Once you have completed your batter put it in a pan of some kind. We used the kind that is intended for small muffins and cupcakes because it helpes us in the end with dosing. We found that 2-3 brownies was enough to have a good effect on a casual smoker.



We had 12 brownies when we were done, so we shared them with people we met at this party we went to later on. One note, this recipe makes the reefer very heavy in each brownie, giving them a slightly unusual flavor. This is tolerable, and some might even find it interesting and enjoyable, but you might want to reduce this by doubling all the ammounts of things in this recipe. Also, eat the brownies with milk, sucka. It tastes better.

To Cook These Motherfukcers

Stick them in a preheated 375� F oven and let them simma for 10-15 minutes or until they look done (if they look done, they probably are).

The result is a very fudgey brownie. They're really really tasty if you hold the reefer too. So if you're just wanting to make non-marijuanerific brownies just don't do that part and maybe quadrouple the quantities of everything else for a baking pan-sized batch.

A small tip. You could use a coffee grinder.

Never claimed to be cool.

But one of my favorite things is beer.

I am not a weed man.

Does that make me half cool?

And you being from Canada are not cool.

Just kidding my Canadian friends. Except you Rain.

Mini-pizza things

Some slices of Bread
Tomato Pasta sauce or anything like that.
Cheese.
(you can pre-cook some bacon and schrooms if you like and can be arsed).

1. Lightly toast bread
2. Stick a good spoonful of pasta sauce on one side of freshly semi-toasted bread
3. Cover with grated cheese
4. Stick under a grill for 5 minutes ish.

Tom's "I'm-pissed-and-cant-be-f**ked-to-cook-beans"

Get a can of baked beans, empty them into a bowl. Add tobasco, pre-chopped chilli to taste, pepper, chorizo (or ham or whatever. Chorizo is best), and a shed load of grated cheese. Maybe some finely chopped onion if you are sober enough to handle a knife without severing a hand....

Stir and eat. Wash down with more beer or drink of the moment. NOT baileys.... chilli and Baileys don't get on well.

To put this thread back on track....

Brien's Semi-Amazing Quick & Dirty Spicy Chicken:

2 or 3 chicken breasts

1 can chipotle peppers

1 medium Jalapeno

1 med. oninon, finely chopped

1 can ROTEL (the mexican style if possible)

A can of green salsa (the tomatillo variety, I usually use leftover green sauce form El Pollo Loco)

1 lime

--------------------

Prepare the chicken by washing it all all that good stuff (pepper, salt, etc).

Now for the sauce...

Take the can of chipotle peppers (adobo sauce and all) and throw them in a food precessor or blender until it purees into a liqued. Add a dash of sugar and the juice of 1/2 lime to it.

oven Heat to 350ish. Throw chicken in sauce pan. glass. Drown in chipotle-lime sauce. Garnish with sliced jalapenos and onions. Cook 30-35 minutes. Eat. Enjoy.

You can get a large endorphin rush if you eat enough spicy food.

Don't knock it till you've tried it Actually, it's just normal sardines in tomato sauce that's spiced up a bit. Sardines is one of THE healthiest fish for you.
