I didn't make them for you. They're just named after you. And they were yummy.

it is still cold up here, but i'm in the mood for summer

gin and tonic
put a bottle of beefeater in the freezer
and a bottle of schwepps tonic in the fridge
after these have chilled (approx 45 min)
load a glass with ice, pour in gin, squeeze a lime wedge in glass, add tonic water, stir , drink and repeat

i don't like putting my booze in the freezer because it dulls the flavor. i make an exception for G& Ts
if you wanted to make a bourbon drink, i would suggest the mint julep, neat bourbon, on the rocks or straight out of the bottle

sierrra nevada pale ale would be good too

margaritas - quick, easy, yummy.

For whatever reason the order matters:

1) fill blender about 1/4 full with tequila (I want to say it's like 12-16oz but I just eye it so i don't really know).

2) Add one lime-ade frozen concentrate (buying the bacardi frozen drink mix or the green liquid that comes in some jug is for suckers - just buy limeade or even lemonade for like 89 cents).

3) Fill blender to almost the top with ice (you got to be able to put the lid on).

4) Add water until blender is filled maybe an inch or so from the top.

5) blend.

Yummy. I then use just a standard lowball/rocks glass and stick the lip in the margarita and then salt the rim. I find margarita glasses are hard to salt because the glasses are wider than the salt container.

Also if you like fruity drinks (this is for you lukie - but I like them too) you can make different kinds of margaritas just by changing the concentrate. For example using 1/2 can of lemonade and 1/2 can of Welch's strawberry breeze and then throwing in about 3-4 frozen strawberries makes a delectable strawberry margarita.

Oh, and you can then just stick the blender in the freezer and these keep forever too - the tequila keeps the stuff from freezing into a margarita pop so you can take it out the next day, shake it up a bit and good as new.

imo bombay sapphire makes the best martini, and beefeater makes the best G&T

of course you can use bombay, i usually just have it on the rocks or as a martini, but it does make an excellent G&T

k, Im fairly broke so I got low on groceries, but just wnet shopping recently. Been busy, barely on the forums but I did take pictures when I cooked anything of interest.

chicken salad topped with bacon and a cilantro garnish. Ive made chicken salad a few times before, but it never really tasted fresh for some reason. This time when I was making it, it seemed kinda dry and right as I went to put more mayo in it, BING! lightbulb, sour cream! Put about equal parts sourcream to mayo and it tastes so much lighter and fresh.



blt with avacado mayo



shrimp marinara over linguine (guess its not real marinara, just some fresh chopped tomatoes some white wine spices and herbs cooked down.)


teriyaki marinated flank steak with mushroom pan sauce served with steamed dumplings and rice. Oyster sauce for dipping.(kinda cheated on pan sauce.. just took unused marinade and added it to sauteed mushrooms then reduced.)




Southwest stuffed pork chop with spicy mango sauce. Served with fresh mango salad and rice. Just made this tonight (did all prep work last night, making stuffing mango salad and brining the chop.) and its by far my favorite dish yet.

edit: its cornmeal stuffing with blackbeans red onion and corn to go with the southwest theme.

vichysoise " what is this?

ty for the compliment but I def need to work on my plating. Its one of the most fun parts to me, but I dont quite have a knack for it just yet. Some of it is just cuz Im really hungry and dont think the plating through. For example with the porkchop, I should have drizzled the mango sauce on the plate first in some fancy schmancy sorta way, looks kinda bad just thrown on top of it. Also the plates I have are nearly bowls, so its kinda hard to arange stuff.

I got some more pics to come, too tired to post now though.

bad...

had 3 parts;

writing: just some 5 paragraph essay on a generic topic, I wrote 5 paragraphs, 3 points, opening closing, all made sense. Probably no where close to amazing writing, but it was good enough for a timed writingassignment.

vocab: test allowed for 30 or 45 minutes I think. I finished in 12, got a 94%. Not quite sure what I got wrong, pretty sure it was a misclick though.

math: 30 minutes, 15 questions, but they were pretty hard, no calculator. Got a 10 out of 15. She said it was very close but just under what they needed, so I had to take an 'arithmetic' test. This was also 30 minutes but 80 questions. At the start it was easy, and I was doing ok, then it got hard and I spent too much time on hard quetsions thikning it would only get harder. I have 3 minutes left and am rushing through it just filling in bubbles and I realize the last like 25 questions are easy as fuck. Like 1/2 * 1/4. WTF? The thing was the test was on a computer. A computer with a 17" monitor and really low resolution. The test was run in IE and the window had a title bar and a side menu bar, so this made the viewing area even smaller. So scanning the test was very hard as I could only see 1 or 2 of 80 questions at a time. Pretty sure if I got a 11 of 15 on the first one I woulda just amde it :-\.


I have to take the act now. Next test date is june 9th. Im not really worried about much on the test except for math. I have a review book but all the shit looks like foreign crap to me. I havent been in school for 3 years, and didnt take math my last semester. Good thing about the ACT is that they dont subtract for incorrect answers. So maybe I can just luckbox it?

 Whenever I view this thread, I get hungry when I shouldn't be hungry.

Viewing it while stoned doesn't help.

funny culinary pimpin story.

I make some bomb ass chicken salad. I eat half then put half away for lunch tommorow. Now I dont have to take time to cook lunch, just put it together eat then back to poker. I go to make a snack before bed and notice some is missing, but theyve covered thier tracks well, didnt leave a big scoop indentation. Then right as Im going to brush my teeth my brother says "hey you gonna eat the rest of that chicken salad?" Like... theres one serving left and I made it, why would you think I would let you eat it? We do share groceries cuz its lame for everyone to have thier own katchup, thier own bag of onions, thier own 2 liter of coke, ect. But I made this, I took my time and made it. Anyways I am like "uhh yah?" ldo? And hes like "oh, whatd you put in it?"

Wow, is he just that much of a gluttonous scumbag that he doesnt care, or does he not even realize how obvious it is that he ate some already?

brag: brother is jealous of my culinary pimpitude

beat: brother is scumbag glutton.

variance: ran good, moved up, ran good, move up again soon. Easier to brush weaksauce like this off when youre ballin.

reheating some of this sweet and sour chicken from last night and remembered taht I had a few pictures that I havent posted yet..

sweet n sour pork. Didnt look up any recipes just tried to wing it, turned out pretty well.



some stupid breakfast I whipped up, had made too much stuffing for the porkchop so I just made some patties out of it and fried it up, not too bad actually.



sweet n sour chicken from last night.. I wasnt far off the first time, just didnt think to put rice wine vinegar in tehre, much better this time. However I made 3 chicken breast worth, and the wok didnt stay hot enough, vegies didnt get that nice crisp.



shrimp tacos for lunch today, had one more but ate it before the pic lol.

I'm usually not much of a dessert cook, but I had some chocolate bars in the cabinet and I decided to use them this morning. These are pecan-crusted chocolate truffles, and they tasted incredible.
