All my weaknesses ........ Goats Cheese ....... ice cream ......

Saving them for future reference ! ;)

Remember, I live for requests, so if anyone wants a recipe for anything, except things like green mouse and telephone ice cream... just let me know.

Schnitz pie
Line a pie pan with crust - store bought or homemade.

Sprinkle a quarter-cup of brown sugar and a quarter-teaspoon of cinnamon onto the crust.

Peel half a dozen good-sized apples and slice them thin into the crust. The apples should fill the pie pan.

:blink: But I really wanted to try telephone ice cream!!! :blink:


Ok, then I have some other requests...

a good recipe for Jerk Chicken (preferably boneless skinless breasts, and no vegetables. Or you can list the vegetables, but I will skip them!)

some good recipes to use with my rice cooker... flavored rices, etc.

and a general bump for this thread :rock:

Incendo,

I need a simple yet yummy recipe for alfredo sauce. Can you help?

bump for the chef! ;)

Lemon Ice Box Pie

1 pack graham crackers (I prefer plain Honey Maid)
1 stick of butter, preferably unsalted
4 medium eggs
3 cans sweetened condensed milk (I prefer Eagle brand)
3-5 lemons, depending on taste

Combine in a large mixing bowl the cans of milk, seedless and sans-pulp juice of the lemons (it's important that the juice is free of anything solid, and it HAS to be freshly squeezed lemon juice or else the pie doesn't taste right), and the yolks of the eggs. Beat together until a smooth mix is obtained.

In another bowl, crush up the whole pack of graham crackers and slowly stir in 1 tbsp of melted butter. After maybe 4-6 tbsp you should end up with a mix that is able to hold the shape of a spoon depression. It isn't to be too gooey, nor too dry. Line a pie pan with this mix and bake in an oven on 350 until firm (be careful, it burns EASILY). Cooking times vary depending on the thickness of your crust.

After the crust cools, remix your pie filling mix and slowly pour it in to your pie crust. If you would like, you can throw it in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 165 F, but I find this not necessary, especially if you've used pasteurized eggs. You can use the egg whites to make a meringue top by adding in a couple of tablespoons of sugar and mixing until you get hard peaks, or you could simply discard them.

Place the pie in the fridge and let it cool for at least 6 hours to firm it up. It's best served with a piece of chocolate on the side in my opinion.

Wondering if you have a recipe for wild strawberries and cream?

:devil2:

ESCOFFIER set down a list about a hundred years ago in french cuisine.
you take a mother sauce and add stuff for a new sauce. The white sauce is the mother sauce.

you start with a white sauce

to make it you first need to make one or two decisions

are you going to thicken with RUX(butter an flour) or cornstarch mixed in water.
Corn starch is healthier as it doesnt add butter an all the bad that comes with it. You do however loose some flavor.

to make rux

melt a stick of butter in a pan on low heat
once its nice an bubbly
slowly add flour to it(helps if you use a sifter, it mixes better)
you want to add flour till its the consistancy of play doh
keep it on low heat so you dont burn it
when it stops tasting like flour an starts tasting like butter you are done. It should be a light brown color.


for corn starch
take a coffe cup about 2/3 full of cold water it has to BE COLD WATER or it lumps an dont mix

slowly stir in corn starch till its nice an soupy. set aside till you need it later you can do it rite before you use it as well, but if you give it time to rest it will let any odd lumps that didnt mix in to disolve in the water


white sauce is nothing more than milk with thickener

add milk to a pot bring to a low boil
add thickener of your choice
stir till its nice an thick(low heat is your friend, you will burn or break the sauce on high heat.) when I say break it will seperate an be worthless

from this point you can make something like a thousand sauces now.
add one ingredient and its a new sauce.

alfredo is white sauce and
garlic
fresh works well, as does crushed garlic in oil
or even
granulated dry garlic


Alfredo is the simplest sauce to make. As it only adds ONE ingredient.
Now, having said that you can add other things to improve on that. It makes a differnce what kind of flour you use for your rux. All purpose works, but you can try differnt kinds for differnt flavors. I like whole wheat flour, you may not.
You can add half an half or even straight up heavy creme, heart attack in the works but amazing flavor. 2% milk works fine, but not as rich.

so this is where you add your individual flair.

by the way
you can make the "white sauce" and freeze it for up to 6 months with no ill effect. make a large batch, put it in a zip lock freezer bag an just pull out what you need. add your unique ingredients and have home made in minutes.
Yes, I was a chef for 20 years. I got paid to do this. I retired and went to work for the government so I would have some form of retirement benefit later in life.

Thank you Smokingit. I am going to give it a try. Butter and flour will male the better rux. And of course, real garlic for me.

Again, thanks

I just came to a porn site to get a recipe :lol:

Well, I was in a hunting forum where the guys were talking about breast-feeding.

Now, simple marinara recipe modified from a recipe from Food Network

2 medium onion chopped
1 green pepper chopped
1 28 oz can peeled tomatoes (San Marzo if possible)
Bunch of Fresh Basil - Hand Torn
2 cloves garlic chopped
2 Bay Leaves
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
some fresh thyme

Sautee onion and pepper in olive oil til translucent. While the aromatics sautee empty the peeled tomatoes in a container and mash them with your hands. Add tomatoes, Garlic, basil, thyme and bay leaves and cook down the sauce until it thickens.

Remove bay leaves and ready to serve. Goes excellent with Chicken Parm.
