Cooking TNL Part II

Keep stock of vanilla? Obviously yes. It's kind of expensive, but it lasts forever and makes everything more awesome.

Speaking of awesome, and vanilla...

My favorite way to make hot chocolate:

Over a double broiler (basically just a metal or glass bowl over a pan of simmering water... DO NOT let the water touch the bowl), slowly melt chocolate of your choosing. I like to use the least sweet Ghiradelli chips; they're cheap and good, but would use better if I could afford it. Warm up milk in the microwave (or 2/3 milk, 1/3 cream like I like to), and mix it in the chocolate until it reaches the desired consistency. Finish it off with a dash of vanilla.

Also: Cayenne/white pepper

I made a PB&J with potato bread and skippy peanut butter that had RAPESEED OIL in it.

Mmmm. Rape.

Might make risotto as a side.

I always make risotto when I'm cooking with someone who doesn't know how to cook. While I'm off doing something else it's just like "Look, just stir this. That's essentially all you have to do. Just stir."

Recipe. Give it to me.

What's for dinner tonight? How about boiled snow crab legs, sausage, and potatoes.

I don't do shellfish.

I only have for the last few years. Oysters I'm not a big fan of, but I love clams, mussels, and crab legs/claws. I'm not black or Asian enough to eat blue crabs yet. They sound like a pain to eat, too.

I got some rather bad food poisoning years ago and swore off seafood for quite some time. Now when I try pieces of stuff at work I just don't care for the flavor.
