Boys don't cook

Red Leicester.

Err, I don't know if this is a cultural difference or if I'm just ignorant, but what is this?

[Darth Wong]

Rob, your recipe is far too complex. If sandwiches are the target, simply do this:

2 pieces of rye bread
half-kilo of pastrami
mustard
swiss cheese
optional: horseradish or sauteed onions

Step 1: Assemble in logical order.
Step 2: Eat.

Remember the rule: the meat to bread ratio must be at least 2:1 by volume.

I'll have to get the recipe for pho and vietnamese fried rice from my mother ...

[Hyperion]

My mom learned the hard way that just because gay guys are *supposed* to be able to cook, does not mean this one can... And I demonstrated it all too well with a house full of natural gas at about 2AM the other day, with a stove covered with the burned remains of what was supposed to be a type of Mexican drink... And that is not the only time I've done such things, I am a disaster in the kitchen unless it involves a can, a can opener, and a nuker. If what is being made requires anything more than that, call the fire department.

Ah, a stereotypical manly-man... a manly-man that likes other manly-men admitedly, but a manly-man all the same.

I can however fix a car, rebuild a lawnmower engine (in about an hour), and have no qualms about doing heavy work, in fact I somewhat enjoy heavy work.

The greatest sandwich in the world:

3 slices of wheat bread
One jar of Peanut Butter
One head of nice, crisp lettuce

Spread peanut butter on one side of two pieces of bread.
Lay them side by side and place an appropriate amount of lettuce on one of them
Spread peanut butter on both sides of the remaining slice of bread and lay it on top of the lettuce
Place more lettuce on top
Place last slice of bread

Eat with a tall glass of milk

[InnerBrat]

Z: it's cheese.

It's a red cheese from Leicester originally, but now can be made anywhere. Stronger tasting than Cheddar.

Yeah, but if you get the flavour combo wrong in mine, it can taste awful, with all those different meats and cheeses, hence the directions.

Simple sandwiche:

Bread, Butter, Jam/LemonCurd.

Assemble in the right order using Jam or lemon curd according to tastes.
Eat.

One jar of Peanut Butter

Peanut Butter?? Hey, they may like to spread Monkey Diarrhoea on Sandwiches in the Colonies, but not over here in the civilised world!

Thank you, Rob & innerbrat.

You know, that's actually pretty cool--my best friend went to school in Leicester for a semester. Maybe I should find some of this cheese for her and send it to her as a momento.

Yep. Cheese, the gift that keeps on giving.

Obviously your definition of "civilized" differs with mine.

Diarrhea has no 'o' - I may not have spelled it exactly right tho (but it has no 'o' regardless! )

[Connor MacLeod]

Hah. You're not the only Sith Apprentice. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE

<leaps at Rob and cuts off his head>

Rob fumbles around a bit and grabs his head. A bit of spot welding and " Damn it, at this rate I'll have a lump of weld instead of a neck. "

Later in the day, a shot rings out and the Highlander is circumsized with a .50 rifle round. Rob walks up to the squirming and pain wracked MacLeod "Remember, with Foreskins - there can be only None." The howl of pain from the Pun drowns out the previous groin related ones.

So passes another day in the Sith family household.

I hope you don't mind your future career of being tied facedown to Ein's bed covered in whipped cream and cherries <Waves hand and Force Storm's Rob away to his fate, while Immortal powers restore him to original state.>

You don't have a copy of the Oxford English Dictionary do you?

It does indeed have an O in it, at least in countries that know how to spell correctly and don't mix Jam and Monkey Diarrhoea in their sandwiches.

[Crayz9000]

Speaking of monkey diarrhoea, a recipe that I remember from a Highlights magazine back in the '80s...

Toast four pieces of bread.
Spread each with peanut butter.
Take one apple, slice (thinly), and place slices on top of peanut butter. Enjoy.

I'm actually trying to keep the TGODing to a minimum until Mike has a handle on how well his Server is handling the load of the BBS. Buuut, just cos it's you

The Force Storm was certainly impressive, and any other being would have been swept away to their fate, however Rob was not just another being. He was a Sith Apprentice and his trusty fight hands strong grip held him in place just outside the doorway.

As the Storm abated and his anger fd his strength he prepared to enter the room and teach Macleod that there are few things in life more painful than the wrath of a Rob, when -

"My Young Apprentice!" The voice of his master boomed within his mind, and Rob immediately knelt on one knee. "This pointless bickering is of no consequence at the moment. He removed your head, you removed his dignity, bioth have been replaced. Go know and enjoy your reward with the Women, and prepare should I require you for a further mission."

Rob stood and left to partake of the Pleasure Palace, but new that soon he would make a point of showing the 'Immortal' why being able to grow things back, was not necessarily a good thing in a torture situation.

[Connor MacLeod]

You don't have a copy of the Oxford English Dictionary do you?

Don't need one. I already can spell decently, TYVM.

You have a habit of speaking late latin often?

Where are you from again, so I can suitably antagonize you back?

("preferred antagonism" will probably involve sending some of the more pro-US people over to where you are, including Shep. There will be no return address )

No I have the habit of spelling things correctly when I need to, the only place you will find it spelt incorrectly - like so many other words - is the States. In medical journals across the world you will find it spelt correctly - Diarrhoea.

Oh and if you put the correct spelling into the US Merriam-Webster online search, the result page will tell you where I am, even if they wrongly use Varient - it is in fact your root for the word in question.

Riiight. Keep cooking up the excuses, old man

Force storms can actually engulf people. It doesnt just have to suck you in, it can swallow you up and the stuff you're holding onto.

Bah. Immortals are inured to pain. Besides, you tried blowing my nads off once. Handing you over to Einy seems the least I can do. And I only did that because I like you. People I *don't* like get Force-stormed into RayCav fanfics.

"My Young Apprentice!" The voice of his master boomed within his mind, and Rob immediately knelt on one knee. "This pointless bickering is of no consequence at the moment.

Look, Mr Heston, he's not God, he DOES have a body. And he probably wouldn't care what we did Besides wh ich, you're STILL forgetting you're not the only Sith Apprentice here. While the two of us are fighting, Darth Wong is off with Lord Poe and Lord Young

Rob stood and left to partake of the Pleasure Palace, but new that soon he would make a point of showing the 'Immortal' why being able to grow things back, was not necessarily a good thing in a torture situation.

Enjoy your time with Einy. <WEG>

Apparently so.

Sure... blame the US for everything. First its for not using the metric system, now its for mangling the King's/Queen's English, is it?

Oh and if you put the correct spelling into the US Merriam-Webster online search, the result page will tell you where I am, even if they wrongly use Varient - it is in fact your root for the word in question.

Alterantely, I could look at the "location" line besides your name and figure it out pretty quickly. Besides, getting back to the original to pic about PB, I'm sure that stuff like that simply PALES before good English Cuisine

Whoodda thunk a thread about food could have led us to so many other...interesting topics of discussion. Huh.

Gotta love it

As for the food the best I've done is Roast with a Bacon center with wine sauce(it has a much fancier name, but that's how I remember it)

[haas mark]

All right. As the stereotypes have it, us guys can't cook for beans*. But I've found reality isn't always that clear-cut. Indeed, there are males out there who continually fail to accidentally burn water.

So, in order to bolster our team's points in the neverending struggle between genders, gentlemen, your tastiest recipies... let's have 'em.

*pun intended, even if it was horrific

Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas ~

Serves 8-12

32 Corn tortillas.
1 Family sized can Cream of Chicken soup (preferably Campbell's).
4 Chicken breasts, skinned, boned, and boiled.
Green chile to taste.
1/2 large white onion.
Salt, Pepper to taste.
1 lb. cheddar cheese.
1 lb. monterey jack cheese.
(OR, 2 lb. Colby jack cheese)
Lettuce and tomato, if you'd like.

Boil chicken, bone, skin. Cube and set aside.

Cube onion. Set aside.

Shred tortillas in large bowl. Add chicken, onion, chile, salt, pepper, soup. MIX WELL.

Grate cheese. Mix HALF in. Put the rest on top.

[Rob Wilson]

Gaaah, if you're going to TGOD at least do it properly Adam! Both sytle and Format on that were appalling (though thankfully nowhere near Transcend levels *shudder*), if your unsure what I mean, just add it to the list of current PM's

Oh, and everyone else that's been in here on tangents has at least contributed to the thread theme first (or concurrently), so any recipes, cooking stuff?
