'ello folks.
Long time and no post.
Anyhoo, I hope everyone's doing well?
K,
Two nights ago, I actually had one of those weird "accidents" like how Nachos and Buffalo Wings were created. Mine's far less significant but was delicious nonetheless.
Anyhoo, I had a surplus of shrimp that needed to be cooked. I'd already scampied the shit out of the prawns to death. So, I busted out the deep fryer. Well, when I went to make a batter, the fridge was bare. I was out of both milk and eggs!!! So wtf was I going to use since I'd already seasoned the prawns with spices and made a seasoned flour?
Well, I'd had a cupla glasses of shiraz, went through the pantry and got creative.
I used a can of fucking creamed corn and whisked it with some beer to make a batter.
Crezzi, I know!!!
Anyway, the fucking fried shrimp turned out golden, crispy, delicious and spectacular!!!
So here's how to do it...
Season your shrimp with whatever like cajun seasoning, salt, pepper or whatever. Do the same with some flour. Then dip your uncooked shrimp in the seasoned flour, dunk in the batter and deep fry.
Again, the batter was so flavorful and rockin', I'm going to do some chicken fingers using the exact same method.
It was a great surprise!!! Also and what's great 'tis the fact that there's ZERO dairy for those poor bastards of whom are lactose intolerant. Hence, what a great substitution batter for frying cod, halibut, chicken, clams, etc. and no need for eggs, milk or anything!!!
K, just thought I'd pass along my latest crowning jewel. lmao!!!
Again, hope all's well people.

Hi Max, hello all.
So it's back? Back for reals?
Wow, I had given up all hope. It's great to see this place and the people again.
Hope everybody is happy and healthy, I'm looking forward to more cool recipes 'n shit.
Digging this thread back up to share a great recipe I just tried.
Broccoli and Crab Bisque
Ingredients:
1 cup sliced leeks (white part only) (Note: I substituted onions because I couldn't find any leeks)
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup fresh broccoli florets
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup butter, cubed (Note: I used a whole stick of butter)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 bay leaf
2 cans (10-1/2 ounces each) condensed chicken broth, undiluted
1 cup half-and-half cream
3/4 cup shredded swiss cheese
1 package (6 ounces) frozen crabmeat, thawed, drained and flaked
Directions:
In a large saucepan, cook the leeks, mushrooms, broccoli and garlic in butter until broccoli is crisp-tender. Stir in flour and seasonings until blended. Gradually add broth and cream.
Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Add cheese; stir until melted. Add crab; heat through but do not boil. Discard bay leaf before serving.
I had thought about this thread.
Great recipe, Little Texan!
I did not realize how many people did not know how very easy and quick it is to make butter.
1 mason jar.
whipping cream (or heavy cream {haven't tried it, trying it today})
Pour cream into mason jar until half full or less.
Add spices or don't.
Let cream warm to room temp (not sure if this makes a difference, seems logical it would lessen the time to make the butter.)
Shake jar until butter forms.
The butter happens pretty quick, maybe the length of the news. I haven't timed it.
When it becomes butter. It will be like shlirp. Poof there it is. You can't hear it if you not making it. You hear it in your hands.
So then you have the butter in a milk liquid. This liquid tastes nothing like the butter milk from the store. Actually is kinda reminds me of skim milk. Very good skim milk. Skim milk from the store taste as bad as the butter milk from the store.
The soft butter is in the mason jar and you have to get it out in one piece.
Turn the mason jar on its side, shake it until the butter is shaped for that angle (3 or 4 shakes)
Take the lid of the butter dish and gently pour the butter and liquid in to the TOP of the dish ( that is the deep part not the flat part)
Put into the refrigerator.
The butter hardens quickly.
Remove the butter.
Pour liquid into a container to save or drink.
Put the butter back into the top of the butter dish.
Use the bottom of the dish as the top of the butter container.
Enjoy your butter.
This butter does not burn like store bought butter.

Howza bout that Chile Relleno recipe, Maxwell?
K, here goes...
Chile Rellenos
One can Ortega canned chiles (or you can use fresh but all of that roasting and peeling is not for me. lol)
3-6 large eggs (approx. 1 egg for 2 chiles)
1/4 cup flour (optional)
Brick of cheese cut into 1/4 inch thick rectangles as long as the chile
Deep fryer or a large pan with 2 inches of oil
Pinch of salt
Paper towels for draining
Stuff the chiles
Place a slice of monterey jack (or pepperjack) cheese into the chile, but don't force it. If the cheese is too large, trim it down until it fits inside. Make sure the open edges of the chile still come together.
Prepare the chiles
Place half of the flour on the bottom of a plate. Place the chiles on the flour and sprinkle the rest of the flour on top. Use your finger to make sure the entire chile is coated. Dust off remaining flour and set chiles aside. Since the canned chiles are in liquid, this step is important for the batter to stick.
Prepare batter
For a simple batter, whip 3-6 egg whites until stiff. Slowly fold in yolks and a pinch of salt.
Cook chiles
One at a time, dip the stuffed chiles into the batter and then into the hot oil. Cook until batter is a crisp golden brown.
Drain excess oil
Remove chiles from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Use cold eggs for the batter.
Test the oil with a drop of batter before putting a whole chile in. If the drop of batter sizzles and floats to the top, it's the right temp. If it sinks, the oil is not hot enough.
The flour should be a very light coat. It helps the batter stick to the chile.
When they're all fried up, I usually put some echilada sauce on the top along with some shredded cheese.
Max, since Christmas is right around the corner, what are some of your favorite holiday recipes?

I'm gonna throw this topic in here instead of starting a separate thread.
Are there any shitty and fucking vile foods out there that you absolutely have (in a crack sort of a way) an addiction for but both you and everyone else knows it's gawd-awful?
For instance, last night I had a big ass bowl of Dinty Moore beef stew. I fucking love that shit, even though and against better judgement, it's no different that Alpo. lol
Others include all of the Chef Boy Ardee shit. I ghobble that up when I dont feel like really cooking. Especially those dersghettios with "meatballs" are fucking derlicious!!!
Others would be Kraft mac and cheese. Yes, the cheap, blue box bitch. Ramen noovdles, Campbell's bean der bacon soup, canned chili and Chunky Sirlion boogie.
Anyone else?
Bouillabaisse
(Serves 2-4)
Broth Ingredients:
1/4 cup lobster base (available canned in specialty markets) or you can use shrimp base
3/4 quart water
1 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon ground garlic
1 tablespoon anise seed
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon saffron
Combine all ingredients in a larger pot. Bring to boil and then simmer 15 minutes.
Set aside.
Seafood and Vegetable Ingredients:
This is where you can get creative and put whatever the fuck you want in it.
12-16 mussels (make sure they are tightly closed and smell fresh)
12-16 clams or cockles (make sure they are tightly closed and smell fresh)
4 2-ounce pieces of fish (halibut, snapper, mahi mahi, etc.)
16 pieces medium-to-large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
16 pieces medium-to-large scallops
I also like (when I have the cash) to put crab (king, blue or dungeoness) and/or lobster in as well.
Again, you can pretty much put whatever the fuck you'd like. Infact, I've been known to just make vegeatable bouillabaisse or I've used ground beef and sprinkle fresh parmesan cheese over the top.
1 tomato, in a half-inch dice
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
3 ribs celery, chopped
Place the stock in a flat 2-3 quart saucepan.
Add the mussels and clams - cover and simmer for four minutes.
Add the vegetables and the fish, lobster at this time as well - cover and simmer another four minutes. Add the shrimp and scallops - cover and simmer 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp is fully cooked.
Serve in individual flat soup dishes or pasta bowls.
Bouillabaisse is traditionally served with crusty French or sourdough bread.
Cioppino
(Serves 2)
Ingredients:
2 garlic cloves, crushed
¼ cup olive oil
1 cup green peppers, sliced
1 cup red peppers, sliced
1/3 cup mushrooms, sliced
½ onion, sliced
32-ounce can tomatoes, diced
6 ounces claim juice
2 cups white wine
1 teaspoon salt
pinch black pepper
pinch crushed red pepper
pinch anise
frshly chopped parsley
fresh oregano (or dried)
as with anything, season to your liking and be creative by putting whatever the fuck you like in it.
seafood of your choice:
Some suggestions...
lobster
shrimp
clams
mussels
calamari
halibut
scallops
crab
snapper
talapia
orange roughy
Cook garlic in olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add green pepper, red pepper, mushrooms, and onions and cook for 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook for one hour. Add raw seafood of choice and cook until done.
Serve with sourdough bread.
MAX, have you ever noticed how close various Spanish seafood stews are to Italian Cioppino? I'm not kidding, if you add some saffron, rice and perhaps some peas, Paella and Cioppino are remarkably similar.

Outstanding Max! As is the rest of this thread also.
I am going to the bank and withdrawing the 300$ it takes to make the Bouillabaisse...LOL!
J/K
I will copy these and come spring I will attempt to make one of them. Perhaps on a vacation to the coast where the fish is fresh caught.
remember these horrible snack cakes? they weren't snackwells back in the day....

i loved them. they weren't very good, but for some reason.....loved them
Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!
Oh definitely. I had always thought that cioppino was Italian until I found out the actual story. Infact it was during the gold rush, so mid 1800's and it was an Italian fisherman who'd use the word "ciop" which meant "chopped" and then he uttered in o. Meaning to combine all of the combined and chopped fish into a stew. Since there wasn't refrigeeration, they relied on canned tomatoes. Hence, the stew was born and the name "cioppino" was just how the locals slanged together a word for the man's accent.
Saw that on food network a cupla years back. Kinda cool, imo.
Here's a great soup for one of those cold days. I tried this the other day, and it is awesomely good! It makes so much soup that I was able to eat from it for two days. Another one of those church cookbook finds...
Taco Soup
1 lb. ground beef
1 sm. onion, chopped
1 can diced green chiles
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 pkg. taco seasoning
1 (16 oz.) can stewed tomatoes
1 can corn, undrained
1 pkg. Ranch dressing mix
3 c. Ranch Style Beans with liquid
2 garlic cloves
1 (8 oz.) tomato sauce
1 1/2 c. water
Brown ground meat with onion and chopped garlic. Drain and chop tomatoes, reserve juice. Add tomatoes and juice to pot, with chiles, seasonings, corn, beans, tomato sauce and water. Stir and simmer 20 minutes. To serve, place tortilla chips in bowl and ladle soup over chips. (I skipped the last part.)
I'm not usually a great one for swapping recipes but I had to get a hold of this one after an English doctor brought some to a BBQ.
It's brilliant with cheese, on a burger or I recently served it with chicken stuffed with soft cheese. Every time people rave about it so I thought I would share it here.
It's insanely easy but watch you don't burn your pot as you need to simmer for at least a couple of hours.
Tomato, Chilli and Ginger Chutney
Ingredients:
Tomatoes (ideally of the plum variety)
For every 3lbs of tomatoes use:
3-5 dried chillies, chopped
2 ½ “ root ginger, peeled and grated
5 cloves garlic, crushed
½ pint/300ml white wine vinegar
10oz/275g soft brown sugar
2tsp sea salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Method:
Put all ingredients in a big pan and simmer till good consistency with regular stirring.
Put in jars while still hot, seal and leave to cool.
Sorry I missed this.
I just noticed the original recipe says dried chillis.
I've been using average strength, average size 3 inch long type chillis which give a fairly mild heat in the finished chutney. This is more a tasty than a hot thing. I would do the same if I was you since you could always add some hot sauce at the end if thas what you want.

Anyone ever made a pumpkin pie using fresh pumpkins? I just got through buying all the ingredients at Walmart earlier, and I'm going to have a go at it tomorrow. I'll let everyone know how it turns out.
