Eh, What's Cookin', Doc?

[spoonyliger]

Okay, I love cooking easy or quick meals. Sometimes I even get a little creative with it. Like for example, my Strawberry & Banana Omelet:


It was... er, quite exotic.

But I'd love to see what you guys like to cook!

[Phact0rri]

easy meals. I fancy some avacado with salt and pepper on toast pretty well.

Take that sucker off the pan way sooner next time. #everyoneisacritic

humburgers

hmmmm?

You cook them on a humming grill, which cooks with sonar pulses as opposed to open flame.

[McDuffies]

no, they're burgers that aren't anything special

[Warren]

no, they're burgers that aren't anything special

In that case I'll have some hoburgers please.

One-eyed jacks with Sriracha hot sauce and espresso.

That's eggs on the eye.

I swear I thought we already had a food thread. No matter. I made two pasta dishes tonight, one to eat and the other for lunch later this week. First was a scallop fettuccine alfredo with a slight twist. I cooked the scallops in gin and butter, then added the alfredo sauce before tossing it all together with a little parsley. It was actually incredibly delicious as the gin added a variety of flavor notes that went really well with the creaminess of the alfredo and helped perk up the scallops' flavor.

Second dish was just some cherry tomatoes and red, yellow, and orange bell peppers sautéed in olive oil and then tossed with rotini. I cook my pasta to about 90% (just shy of al dente) and then add some of the water (about 1/2-1 cups) from the pot to the sauce/mix-ins in a big sauce pan or skillet. Drain the pasta, mix into the sauce pan, cover on low heat for a few extra minutes. Causes the pasta to absorb more of the flavor.

Other things I've recently cooked: green curry chicken and white rice, tequila lime chicken (grilled, and OH SO DAMN GOOD), and I'm still working on my English baked beans. I figured it was cheaper to make my own rather than keep buying canned beans because I do a fry-up every single weekend, and it's surprisingly simple and makes a huge batch that'll last a week or two easy.

Made turkey burgers tonight. Threw in parsley, red pepper, garlic, paprika, green onion, and lemon zest and topped it with avocado and muenster cheese. Brushed em with olive oil and threw em on the grill.

Sadly, the only change I have to cook is when I'm over at a mate's house. It's too much of a hassle getting into the kitchen at my own place since an unfortunate incident involving onion rings years ago.

Grease build-up lead to a ceiling collapse?

Grease build-up lead to a ceiling collapse?

No, that would have been easier to explain.

What could happened with onion rights that could cause venturing to kitchen difficult? I feel like Roy on IT Crowd getting obsessed about how the waterpark got burned down.

What could happened with onion rights that could cause venturing to kitchen difficult?

Well, onions are a very political vegetable and get very belligerent anytime they feel their rights have been violated. I've heard stories about them staging sit-ins that last for months.

Made some Sea-Salt Ice Cream few days ago:

You are not helping me get rid of my obsession with the onion story.
