OK, maybe not ALL of the same shit.... But then shit sometimes happens in cycles, ya know?

Er not that we should be talking about shit in a perfectly good cooking thread.

Thanks FORD,

Regardless, you're always welcome around here. Now, who's b1c2? Thus far, I'm enjoying the recipes. Perhaps you two would like to fill me in on the history, no? Pasture Dump, Links, what?

Hey b1c2, got any good crab cake recipes as well?

FORD and I go waaay back. Like damn near a decade now. Ouch, I'm getting old.

And despite my androgynous handle, I am a chick!

I'm allergic to shellfish so I'm no help on the crabcakes. I'm trying to get a recipe for panang curry posted for you though!

[MAX]

I'm sorry to hear about the shellfish thing. One of my best friends suffers the same affliction and is always so bummed that he cannot have lobster, crab or shrimp.

Seriously, thanks regarding the curry. I look forward to making some homemade.

K, here's a basic soup one from my Grandmother. The great thing is it's such a basic soup and there are so many things you can add to it and all completely up to you. Like in the fall or winter add some heavy cream and puree the soup. It will stick to your ribs. I've also added added (not all at once, lol) hamburger, any kind of pasta, crab, fresh corn in the summertime, shrimp, other veggies, etc. Again, entirely up to you but this is a good base soup to help with your overload of summer squash.

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 medium sweet onions (Vidalia or Walla Walla, for example), thinly sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup dry sherry

1/2 cup heavy cream (optional and for a heartier soup)

6 cups chicken stock or broth does just fine as well

2 pounds summer squashes chopped into 1/4-inch dice pieces

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden, about 20 minutes.
Add the sherry and reduce by half, only a minute or two. Add the chicken stock and squash. Bring to a boil and cook until squash is soft for about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Ladle the soup into warm bowls and top with the parmesan cheese.

[Little Texan]

Awesome, I have nearly all those ingredients on hand except for the cream! Sounds good! Thanks, Max!

Not a food one but I just learned a killer martini for the ladies. Although I'm just a beeya or wine dude, hate sweet/faggy drinks, this one was actually pretty fuckin' good. Good enough that I'd actually have ONE.

Anybody like sour patch kids candy? Well, here's a sour patch martini.

Read it in a book and had a cupla my bartenders have at it. They did ok but I decided to get back there and make it myself.

I used the following...

1/2 oz Absolut Citron vodka
1/2 oz Grey Goose Orange vodka
1/2 oz Stoli Raspberry vodka
1/2 oz Stoli Strasberi vodka
1/2 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
splash cranberry juice

shake with ice, strain into serve into a sugar rimmed chilled martini glass.

Garnish with a cupla of the sour patch kid candies for fun.

I fuckin' shit you not, this fucking drink tastes EXACTLY like those fucking candies and could knock one on their ass!!!

For you single dudes, this drink's a good skirt dropper...
