Hamster's Sandwich Lunch

Two slices of bread
cheese
turkey leftovers
chicken breast slices
tomato
lettuce

Put one slice of bread on a plate. Then add a slice of cheese on top of that. Add some maybe-still-good turkey leftovers on top of that. Then place a slice of chicken breast on top of that to feed your forever meat hunger. Place a slice of tomato and a slice of lettuce on top of that and, hey just for the heck of it, add another slice of cheese on top of that. Place the other slice of bread on top of this mess. Take sandwich into room, turn on your Ren n' Stimpy dvd, pray that the turkey is still good, and enjoy.

Oooh, nice ramen recipe!

I soup mine up with some crushed saffron threads, but that's the fanciest I've gotten.
Got some candied ginger in the cupboard, think I'll scamper over to Honeybaked Ham and get a mini-ham next payday...

Yummy Recipes!

Well, here's a good Ohioan one (Hamster may know of these): Makes about five dozen.

1 c butter
1 pk 16oz powdered sugar
1 12oz crunchy peanut butter
1 Block (4oz) paraffin
1 pk 12oz chocolate chips

Combine butter, sugar and peanut butter in a medium bowl; blend untill smooth. Roll into 1 inch balls. chill. Place paraffin and chocolate chips into top of a double boiler and melt over hot (not Boiling) water. Coat balls by dropping one at a time (you can stick a toothpick in them for diping, make sure to leave a spot of peanut butter showing to give that buckeye look.). Place on waxed paper to cool.

There's so many different ways to make them though. Some people place in vinilla extract for some flavor. I also tend to make them bigger while making less buckeyes.

Make sure to remember the main ingredient: Lots of Love! Oh, and some cheering for the Buckeyes!

Well, these aren't holiday-ish, but whatever .


My favorite way of making hollandaise (goes well on nearly everything):

-3 egg yolks
-teaspoon of water
-1/2 or 1/4 teaspoon of sugar (can't remember)
-1 and 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled
-1/2 or 1/4 teaspoon of salt (can't remember)
-2 teaspoons lemon juice (fresh)
-1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper


Whisk egg yolks for a while, till they get...fluffier...and ligher in color. Add sugar. Keep whisking for a while.

Put bowl over pan with simmering water. Whisk until it gets kinda thickish. Then, you can remove the bowl and add the butter, little by little, 'til it's mostly melted with the rest of the sauce.

Then, put it back over the pan and add the lemon juice, salt, and cayenne, and keep whisking for a little while longer, 'til all the butter is melted and everything is good and mixed.



Spicy Tater Logs:

Get some red potatoes. Cut them into eighths. Put them in a bowl, and toss with a tiny bit of oil. Then put them on a baking pan (covered with foil to ease clean-up). Sprinkle on Tony's Chachere's, according to the amount of balls you have. Bake them until they are done.

Nope. I know what goes into Egg nog though.

Large eggs
Sugar
Brandy
Rum
Milk
Cream
Icing sugar
Nutmeg


I guess you just take away the rum and brandy.


But remember, before you ask you should always

Hm, Anubis, you just got lucky. I recently had to find the recipe for a non-alcoholic eggnog, so I actually have a good one. I had to mesh around with it a bit, because originally it was alcoholic, but it came out delicious in the end. Okedokee, here it is:

6 eggs
3/4 cup of sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups whipping cream; chilled
4 cups cold milk
6 extra tablespoons of sugar.

Beat the egg yolks (the yellow part of the egg) for about 6 minutes with an electric mixer at high speed (if you don't have an electric mixer, just beat it as much as you can until they are thick and lemon-colored). Gradually add the 3/4 cup of sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon, beating this mixture constantly. Stir in the milk and cream next, allowing the complete mixture to chill inside the fridge. While the other mixture chills, beat the egg whites (the white part of the egg) in a small bowl until soft peaks form (it becomes very, very, fluffy) . Gradually add in the 6 tablespoons of sugar, and beat the mixture to stiff peaks (it becomes even fluffier than before). Take the egg yolk mixture out of the fridge, and fold in the egg whites mixture until both are combined, leaving a few small fluffs of egg white on top. If desired, sprinkle on additional cinnamon and nutmeg (I wouln't recommend much nutmeg because then the drink becomes too overpowered) when serving. Recipe makes 24 (4-ounce) servings.

Well, there you go! Good luck this holiday!

While this isn't specifically a recipe, I certainly like it. I've never been a fan of fried fish, but I didn't want to rule out that entire food group. So, lately I've been experimenting with grilling tilapia filets.

You can buy a box of sixteen filets at walmart for like twelve dollars. It's totally worth it.


You will need:

-1 tilapia filet
-butter, or some kind of oil
-worcester sauce
-garlic powder
-garlic salt
-onion powder
-basil
-parsley flakes
-lemon juice (from an actual lemon)


Put the butter in a frying pan on a stove and let it melt. Then, put the fish in. Let it cook, turning it periodically. When it starts to look edible, squirt a LOT of lemon juice onto one side of the fish, and also some worcester sauce. Then, sprinkle on some of the other stuff, saving the basil and parsley flakes for last. Let it sit there a while, then flip it and do the other side. Then flip it once more for a little while, the take it out and eat it.

You can also do the exact same thing in the oven. Let your fish thaw, then make a sort of bag out of aluminum foil. Mix all the ingredients (except the fish) in a bowl. You may want to put it in the microwave and let the butter melt. Then, stir it good and put the fish and other stuff in the aluminum bag and shift it around a bit and get it all good and mixed up. If you aren't in a hurry, you can let it marinate for a while in the fridge. Then, put it in the oven (you can put it directly on the rack), and bake it for a while. Be sure to turn it at least once. I don't have any recommendations for how long to put it in, because I didn't time it whenever I made it this way.

You're a chef?


Well, I think you can come up with something. If not now, maybe later.
