Got Recipes?

[Ghett0]

I like to cook. No, I'm not a woman. No, I'm not fat. I just want to live past 55 by not eating out of a microwave or eating fast food.

I make a lot of good (and easy to make) food and have lots of little tips n tricks for rookie cooks to make your welfare budget meals taste a lot better.

Example:

Even Habitant soup can be kinda bland. Chicken noodle + a half teaspoon of poultry season = win. I also add black pepper and a touch of garlic powder because I put that shit in everything. A few parsley flakes and some oregano for colour, and my bowl of salty shit soup just became a bit more tolerable.

Do you cook? Share some kitchen ideas. I'm always looking for new stuff to try.

I fucking love Habitat soup! The french canadian pea soup is tha shit! Campbell's has a Vegetable Beef soup that is dope too. Sadly I have to live out of a microwave for a bit now but I always drop by Metro to pick up some fresh roasted chicken or pork or somethin it's a pretty good deal for a guy without a stove.

Today I picked up some BBQ chickens and came home to an avocado that just got perfectly ripe today so I opened that bitch up, whipped it in a bowl with some chopped garlic and a bit of lemon juice and it goes so well with the chicken. Haven't had guacamole in a while but it's easy, tastes good and goes well with a bunch of stuff.

TRUTH! I like it with the Ham. When that shit goes on sale for $1.50 I go bonkers and load up.

TRUTH! It's not what it used to be, but it's soooo fuckin good. Fresh cracked black pepper in that shit. mmmmmm, good.

I'm not one for avacados, but those are my two favorite flavour additions; garlic and lemon juice. The one or the other goes with damn near anything. I'll usually give the Pea Soup the Ghett0 spice sprinkle. (My typical go-tos to add flavour; Black pepper, garlic powder, parsley and oreganos flakes).

Another trick I'm a fan of is making Nachos. Personally, I think it's RETARDED how expensive nachos and the fixings are but seeing as how I don't have a deep frier and thus, can't make my own nacho chips, I have to buy them.

As for salsa, though, I wouldn't put that jarred preservative-filled shit in my body if my cock depended on it, so I just dice a tomato, grab some green onions (which are always cheap as fuck), and a little red onion to make the poor man's salsa. If I wanted to do dishes and shit, I'd put it in a bowl with some Olive Oil, add some garlic, black pepper, maybe a dash of worchestshesheshshehshetire sauce and some fresh basil or (believe it or not) mint (I grow my own. Mint grows like a weed and it can grow indoors in Canadian winter since it only needs indirect sunlight.)

Before I put the chips in the oven, I usually sprinkle a little garlic powder on them (VERY little). When the oils come out of the chips, that garlic flavour soaks right in. It's delicious.

Oh, and since cleaning crusty cheese off of a pan is a pain in my arse.....

Line that bitch with Tin foil before you put the ingredients on it. When you're done, take off the tin foil, dish is clean. Put it in your oven, which is still cooling down, and let the heat kill any bacteria on it from your grubby ass hands.

Oh, and if your'e REALLY cheap.... re-use the tin foil, but even I am not that welfare. I used to work for a chef that was, though, and the sad thing is, this was one of Ottawa's best Haute Cuisine restaurants before they went under.

i hate cooking... makes a mess. anyhow, my doctor gave me this sheet awhile back when i was feeling a lot of abdominal pain. 3 meals a day feel with 2-3 liters of water spaced out, its tough to stick to it, but I definitely have a lot less pains after following it, few months of this you really feel how huge of an impact eating shit even once can have on your body.

I feel that. I used to drink and would eat all kinds of trash when I was wasted and needed something to soak up the booze. Definitely a bad habit.

When I tried to trim the coffee out of my diet, I got a magic bullet and started having yogurt smoothies for breakfast. It's a fast dose of natural sugar that is easy to digest and gets me going in the mornings.

I would use plain yogurt (with probiotics if they're on sale)
A banana (great source of potassium)

And two of the following:

Black berries
Strawberries
Mango
Papaya

I usually try to use the mango and papaya. Mango is a pain to clean sometimes, but it is tasty and good for you.

Papaya is LOADED with vitamin C and doesn't have a lot of flavour, so you usually just taste banana and whatever else you put in it.

I'll toss in a mint leaf from my home garden just for fun.

All that sugar would have been bouncing off the walls in no time and helped me wean off of caffeine nicely.

here's some shit for ya, i haven't posted in it in awhile. http://www.darklygaming.com/forum/showthread.php/5627-HBC-s-recipie-thread?highlight=recipie+thread

 

[The Killing Joke]

Ever go to a party and there's that "7 Layer Dip"? Yeah, that stuff is good, but I have a recipe that (I think) is way better. It's ... unique.

Equal parts of the following: If you want, use "500ml" as your base measure. That'll make up a good size batch. When I make it, I usually do 750ml.)

Hot Salsa (Doesn't have to be 'chunky'. Just has to have good flavour.)
Sour Cream (Full Fat. Don't be fooled by this "light" or "no fat" shit. No fat = no flavour.)
Shredded Old Cheddar Cheese (Thickly shredded. None of this 'fine' shit.)
Hot Pepper Rings (I usually cut these up. Not 'diced', per se, but chunky. It also helps to remove all of the centres, as those are disgusting.)
Green Manzanillia Olives with Pimentos (Buy them and slice them into slices. If you buy them already sliced, you'll lose the pimentos.)

Mix everything above together, and (very important) refrigerate overnight. When you mix it up, it will turn a very strange 'salmon' colour, and after refrigeration, the flavours will mix. Use your favourite tortilla chip, and enjoy.

I will say this: I have shared the dip with a couple of friends at a time, and although when you start eating it, you'll say, "OMG, there's so damn much of it..." it goes really, really quickly... ...and usually in one sitting.

Solid! I dunno if an admin can merge this thread into the old recipe one, but it would be boss if we did.
