Alternatives to PB+J
Costacat | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 08:13 pm     Sunriverose: check your email re the fruitcake |
Costacat | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 08:17 pm     Oooh oooh! I have one, Goddess. How about possum parts. Sorta like Rocky Mountain Oysters. I'm sure Granny has a good recipe! I was also thinking, along the lines of really really gross... there's this thing that is called a "baloot". I've probably spelled it wrong, but it's some Asia thing (not sure which country) wherein you bury a friggin' raw egg for like a year or something. And then you unbury it and eat. Sounds doubly nasty to me. For "sweets" for the HGs, how's about chocolate covered crickets? Or ant krispie treats? |
Draheid | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 10:54 pm     Doesn't anyone want to suggest a week of fine eating catered by The RoadKill Cafe  |
Earthmother | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 11:03 pm     I am shocked that the health people haved closed this discussion..lol Tequilla jello..it won't fill you up but you don't give a sh*t (ducking the AA police) |
Draheid | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 11:14 pm     Beer: Bread in a bottle - nuf said! Ok so you can't really spread PB&J on it, but after a few, who'd care! |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 07:19 am     Back to the benefits of watermelon... I about died this a.m. when I cracked open the local paper. There's a weekly food section (in Weds paper). The lead story? Watermelon. So, OK, we were discussing watermelon and vodka, or watermelon margies a bit last night? Well the paper today had a recipe for WATERMELON MARTINIS!! Serious yum! Of course, I wouldn't recommend those for these HGs. <grin> |
Nutsy | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 07:51 am     Costacat - do share the recipe! |
Earthmother | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 07:56 am     OMG Goddessatlaw, I woke up this morning and the first thing that popped into my head was "Possum Stew"..One of grannies specialties..lol |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 07:59 am     I'm still worrying on the "coot" issue, and whether there are any tearing up my lawn. Re Watermelon martinis - a little gin & juice never hurt anybody. I say give it to the HG's and see what happens. |
Piratesbay | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 08:12 am     Goddess...it's the roadkill that does the 'cobbling'. Want the recipe? 1 coot (medium to large size feeds 4) 1 cup rancid oil to brown. 1 16 wheeler doing 40 on a narrow mountain road. Season to taste. Cook on open fire for 6 hours. Don't overcook. |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 08:14 am     LOL, Piratesbay - except it's been so hot around here you could just leave it on the side of the road for an hour or so and it'd be well done. |
Piratesbay | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 08:18 am     Leave it on the side of the road for an hour, and you get the fixin's to go with it! Now that's a dinner to tempt the heart of any of our sweet hg's. Their bellies would never be so happy to see a PB&J sandwich after cobbled coot... |
Earthmother | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 08:47 am     Maybe they have a new appliance for cobbling the coot. America's Choice..what do you think? I'll look on the net today and see what they run for. |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 08:48 am     "Hey, babe, mind if I cobble your coot?" Maybe that's what Chia has in mind for Roddy, instead of boiling his bunnies (which has been DONE). |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 02:07 pm     Sorry for the delay here... I was taking the *real* Costa (the cat) to the vet. And when I got back, the site was down!!! Watermelon Martinis (serves 1) 2 cups sliced watermelon 1 oz vodka Puree watermelon in blender to produce about 6 oz of liquid. But watermelon juice and vodka in martini shaker along with 5 to 6 ice cubes. Shake vigorously, then strain into martini glass. Garnish with small slice of watermelon. Make a frozen cocktail by combining the watermelon, vodka, and ice cubes in the blender. (Now doesn't that sound like the perfect refreshing libation for a hot summer day? Remember to pick out the seeds first, tho! <grin>) |
Bernie | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 03:09 pm     On the international recipe list, how about HAGGIS? Healthy Scottish sheeps' stomach filled with all kinds of good things... or, they could make them eat porridge-without sugar or milk-wouldn't only stick to the ribs but also to the roof of the mouth. Then we'd REALLY see some weight loss! |
Piratesbay | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 03:58 pm     Costa, about your recipe.... Was the reference to butting the watermelon an homage to Chiara? If so, I could see all of her kitchen butt work coming to fruition. Sort of the kitchen butt olympics. Maybe that's what the America's Choice appliance is referring to...What appliance could be used as much as Chiara's butt? They both seem at home on a kitchen counter... |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 05:54 pm     Oh cr*p. And I'm a writer, too! I even had to rewrite that, cause the site was down. Yeah, Kitchen Butt Olympics. They can put Chiara on the turntable, and spin her around. Whoever her feet are pointing at, that's who gets to choose which appliance they get! |
Piratesbay | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 06:49 pm     WAIT, COSTACAT! What a game! Let's make that the next food competition! The first three she points to have to eat PB&J. She gets Cobbled Coot! |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 06:53 pm     LOL, Pirate! That *would* be too funny! BB Voice: Houseguests, here is your next food competition. Chiara, lay down on the turntable as you always do. Roddy, spin the turntable as hard as you can. Announcer Voice: The first houseguest to get Cobbled Coot is... Josh. The second houseguest to get boiled bunnies is Roddy... (Forget the PB&J!) |
Piratesbay | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 06:59 pm     Hey, Costa, care to share that scrumptious sounding fruitcake recipe? PLLEAASSEEEEE... It's offseason with roadkill, and now you need a license. Roadkill in Michigan is more in season in the fall... |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 08:13 pm     OK, Pirate. Here's a little secret for ya... I cheated this last holiday. Entemann's does a great fruitcake, and if you doctor it up it's awesome. So I bought a few loaves, opened 'em up, wrapped 'em in cheesecake, and soaked 'em in Don Pedro brandy (altho any brand will do). Wrap 'em in foil and let 'em sit a week. Then soak 'em in more brandy. I did it twice, and the fruitcake was YUM! Especially with eggnog and brandy! I do have a coupla good fruitcake recipes, but as good as the Entemann's ones were, I may not make fruitcake again. If you want the made-from-scratch recipes, Pirate, email me. |
Mystery | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 08:40 pm     Wrapped them in cheeseCAKE???????? I can feel my arteries hardening even as I read your recipe! (cheesecloth, maybe?) |
Costacat | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:34 am     Ah geez... Remind me to never ever post after I've taken medication that makes me feel a bit woozy! Yes, mystery. That should have been CHEESECLOTH!!!!!!!! |
Piratesbay | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:22 am     Now what do I do with the cheesecake I just bought? |
Costacat | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:26 am     Pour vodka into it? |
Mystery | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:34 am     Pirates, that made me laugh out loud. Seriously though, you can never have too much cheesecake lying around! |
Costacat | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:38 am     Unless it's from The Cheesecake Factory. Who just recalled their white chocolate cheesecake from the 7/18-22 period. Which is when I ate some! But since I didn't get sick... OOOOH!! Now there's an (evil) idea for food challenges. Guess which food is contaminated? |
Mystery | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:53 am     When I lived in San Diego we decided once at the last minute to bring a cheesecake to a Thanksgiving dinner. We thought hey, maybe this Cheesecake Factory has some good ones (we had just moved there in August). So we moseyed on over the day before Thanksgiving, found a nice Baileys cheesecake and bopped out, seriously pissing off a whole line of people who had placed orders weeks in advance. Ignorance is bliss! |
