Cooking with Jetman! BAM!!

Alright, I know some of you guys have or are working on your culinaries and can really cook up a storm. I'm trying to put together a nice, original dinner for a girl I recently met, and want to cook up something better than the usual : Manwich, Mac and Chees , spaghetti, Hungry Man, Chef Boyardee,fried rice,and Noodles.Anything other than those is game. :D

Considering Jamiacan ( I've cooked up some jerk chicken before and it didnt turn out too bad) and maybe some Cajun ( Jambalaya , Gumbo, etc.)

Any reccomendations, secret recipes, links to websites with secret recipes or anything like that?

I'd ask the girl first what types of foods she likes. I hate to sound sexist but women can be some picky eaters.

Ask her stuff like favorites styles, foods, and dislikes so you can narrow things down.

Ain't nothing worse than slaving in a kitchen to make something and have em go "ewww I don't like such and such" or "I'm not into spicey, hot food."

I got tons of recipes for about anything laying about my house. I'm going for my baking and pastry seal at the moment.

ChaoofNee's Deathwish Grilled Cheese.
1) Fry butter in a pan.
2) Apply thick pats of butter to bread.
3) Apply a shitload of random cheese to bread.
4) Apply garlic powder to bread.
5) Fry to golden brown.
6) Have girl sign notice agreeing that she knows well what she's eating and will not sue if said meal causes injury or death.
7) Enjoy!

Man, I haven't eaten that stuff in so long... Makes me want to make one!

garlic powder! good idea.

Chao, what about wrapping a stick of butter in bacon and pouring rich, creamery butter on top?

tuna cassorole! yippy!

or... um... toasted buns, grilled brautwursts, sauteed mushrooms and onions.

cut brauts in half when grilled all nice and brown, put in bun side. top with sauteed mushrooms and onions (dont ignore the lovely sauce leftover) close bun, chomp and enjoy.

or

stir fry. cant go wrong with stir fry.

The weird noise that came from my stomach last time I did that told me never to do it again.

Be a man.

Open-range Porterhouse Steaks marinated for 36 hours with some KC Masterpiece Hickory & Spice (I'm amazed something so good comes out of a bottle). Prepare on grill to your liking. 'Your liking' of couse is medium. Grill some veggies on some kabobs with it, perhaps with some small cuts of stew beef. Add salt & garlic as needed. Veggies I suggest are tomatos, potatos, brocolli, onions and mushrooms.

Yeah, I asked her earlier and she said she'd pretty much eat anything. So as long as I dont mangle/burn/or annihilate whatever it is Im cooking , I should be good to go.

Thanks for the link too Rtificial. They have a hell of a lot of recipes on there - I definitely need to browse through a couple of those to get some ideas.

I'll probably be using M and Chaof's ideas for Superbowl Sunday if we dont go out to a sportsclub or something.. (but I wont call that sandwich a deathwish Grilled Cheese seeing as none of my friends are vampires). :evil:

And Tracer I did the steak thing last week - I just felt like branching out and being a little original this week. :)

It was indeed.
If my grilled cheese is suicide, that's just fucking overkill. I'd be better off shooting myself in the spleen instead of suffering the heart attacks.

There are two really cool recipes in the back of the Fallout and Fallout 2 manuals. If I can find my copies, I'll gladly post them.

Alright, went with what I knew how to cook, and it was all pretty last minute seeing as I got drunkenly hammered on Friday night on generic Tequilla with some friends.. :yuck:

Anyway, cooked up some Jamaican chicken and some Jambalaya and a few other things so I had a variety goin.

What sucked was when I was fixing the chicken the recipe called for some Habaneros chilis to be cut up and put in the marinating paste. Well, I was in a hurry and cut these suckers up w/o any gloves or anything on. At least half an hour later, after washing my hands repeatedly I happen to touch my nasal area and my right eye ---- :eek: :curse: and my shit was on FIRE. I had no idea the stuff was that potent that my skin and eyes would react to it after scrubbing my hands, etc. Cold water wasnt really helping much so what does everyone usually do after eating some really spicy shit they cant handle ? Drink some milk right? Well, I filled a whole fucking bowl with milk and dunked my head in. Sweet relief . Thank God it worked :o

So, next time I cook with any form of chilis - I will be sufficiently decked out in surgical scrubs.. :nod:

HAHA we have that happen to shmuck first quarter kids all the time at school. We get some peppers that are so hot we have to wear gloves cause simpley touching em will burn you. There is always some one who gets itchy and has to scratch themselves or have the knife skills of a barbarian and somehow get some pepper in their eye.

If you get a hold of some SUPER spicey food and its burning your mouth, just eat a mouthful of sugar. You can do it with salt too, but who wants a mouthful of salt? The sugar will absorb the spices and offer relief. I've had to do this a few times at work. I work with a bunch of spanish/greeks at the restaurant and they sometimes like to play "burn out rtificial" I can handle most stuff tho.

Here's a pic of last weeks desserts I did.

Roasted pears with bavarian praline cream

Have you been to the CIA? If you're doing that fancy shit, you should just become a full on gourmet.

Hmm, never heard of the mouthful of sugar thing - I'll have to keep that in mind next time I eat the hotness. Or next time I do some scmuck stupid thing like cook with chilis w/o protection and keep a bag of sugar on hand to pour over my head :p

That roasted pear looks pretty cool - is that like a block of ice cream its on or something else?

Nah, I don't goto CIA, I just goto the arts institute of Atlanta. I'm trying to get my certified pastry chef degree.

Heh I got kinda cracked up with the idea of dunking your head in milk. We have like one of the emergency eye wash stations at school for stuff like that hahaha. I've seen worse stuff happen.

Here a top down pic of the pearsPear 1

Nah, its not icecream its a bavarian cream I piped into PVC pipe for molds. I cut some frangipane to fit on the bottom and then filled the rest up with bavarian, then topped it off with sprikled praline. I mixed a lil praline crumbs in the bavarian too. I also sprinkled praline onto the sliced pears.
