What's you speciality?

[discopants]

This has probably been done before but sod it. I'm asking becasue this week I discovered that I make the best toast ever, in the world, bar none, and I ain't giving away the secret to my toasty success. So, does anyone else want to brag about stuff they're shit hot at?

[alexandra]

mmm I love it! That's my speciality :D
Others specialities: lasagna (especially with pesto), pizza, pasta with mushrooms and saucer (yes, I know it's strange but it's so tasty!), paella, cous cous...

[Licorice Donut]

I make fabu breakfasts. I can make excellent coffee, and the most fluffy scrambled eggs (it's all in the wrist, and balloon whisk) and I am mighty good at making waffles too (don't over-mix the batter.) I think I learned to do this as a way of making up for the night before. :o

[Lindsey_1535]

I make some good pancakes. And cookies and cakes.

[HEIRESS]

Anything to do with chicken is my bitch
lemon, curried, herbed, blackened etc etc

Im pretty good at making a thai stirfry with coconut and basil

My cold thai peanut salad is rad too

my homemade salad dressing combos always get raves

My turkey lasagne is great

and Ill stop

[monkey]

the cakes that i bake are delicious bar none.
my absolute bestest is a little roll cake called brazo de reina. i could do it with one hand tied behind my back and it would come out marvelous. :cool:

[Licorice Donut]

TURKEY lasagne?! I've never heard of such a thing. I'd have to taste it to believe it. Too bad I don't eat turkey. Seems like turkey could replace anything though. Everyone's always like "no, it's TURKEY!" or something.

[HEIRESS]

I use ground turkey in alot of recipes
especially ones that normally use ground beef cause I eat beef only if I am at a staff function where I can get free steak

but yeah, ground turkey is great

[Licorice Donut]

I once had a turkey living in my backyard. I named him Reginald. He was cute. I don't think I could ever eat turkey again, not without shedding tears for 'Reggie the Veggie'.

[little j]

chicken or pork quesadillas
fried potatoes
omlettes
chicken in wine sauce

[Leonie]

popping popcorn. not a single one gets burned. (lb)

Hehehe that reminds me of science class. We were makin popcorn and we put way to much seeds in it so all the popcorn popt all over the classroom :p that was a good laugh

I love the science glasses they are way too cool. :D

[adrockmelanie]

fried potatoes



i LOVE those. i've never tried to make them.. but whenever my mom or someone else has, they're awesome.

i don't eat bacon, sausage, or eggs.. and syrup makes me sick, so if i have breakfast somwhereand they've made friend potatoes, i'm happy. oh. strawberry pancakes (with no syrup). yeah. those are good, too.

Marinating steaks in differant marinades.I love trying out new shit.Try to find this in your local market.Its vadillia onion marinade in a clear bottle so it looks yellow.This is the fucking shit on a steak.Place steak in a huge zip lock smothered in the vadillia marinade with veggies of choice.I prefer mushrooms,peppers and onions.Refrigerate for two days.Put the veggies in a tinfoil wrap and the steak on the grill.Try it you'll love it.Even if you're not a big onion guy /gal dont sweat it.I gave a steak to a buddy of mine w/out telling him it was an onion sauce(he hates onions)and he totally dug it.He was begging me to tell him what I put on the steak.Told him and he buys it all the time now.I wish I could remember the product name but I cant.Good luck to anyoe who gives it a try.Let me know.

[ET]

Spaghetti w/ homemade sause minus the actual slaughtering of the cow for delicious meatballs. Balls of meat. Mmmmmm.

I don't mean to toot my own horn, but, beep beep.

Or my omletes. Shit be all fluffy.

[jabumbo]

i dont think im really that good at anything, but i can get just about anything done that goes anywhere but the oven...that thing is still pretty new to me

[cosmo105]

kinda like the bedroom, eh jabumbo?

i make some wicked scrambled eggies/omlettes. for others, obviously.

i can bake really well. mix, scratch, whatever. i used to bake cakes and cupcakes and brownies and cookies just for the hell of it and bring them to my peer counseling class for everyone to enjoy.

i'm not too bad with a wok...and i make salads better than pretty much anyone else because i use EVERYTHING except iceberg lettuce. fuck iceberg right in its nutrient-lacking ass.

dealing with toxic substances is fun too. ;)

[synch]

I tend to go all creative with eggs. No fixed recipe either, just what I can get my hands on that has a slight chance of tasting well together.

Actually I've chilled out on the exotic combinations (I actually tried peanut butter on my eggs once... :o).

I also make a few different types of pasta dishes, but being Italian... nothing beats my mom's cooking.

[hellojello]

my staple diet is tabouli and toast.
im pretty good @ vegemite on toast unless i burn the toast cause i always have to put it down twice cause the settings too light but sometimes i forget to pop it back up again.

[Leonie]

not french fries. just fried potatoes. you know.. greasy/bad for you/served at breakfast/cut up differently than regular fries.
ooh oke :p

dealing with toxic substances is fun too. ;)

Hmm. never did that one I think.
I like science (y)

[discopants]

On Friday I used my secret technique to make the best toast ever, it was a crust but you'd kill for it.

[adrockmelanie]

why's everyone talking about toast lately?

[Rancid_Beasties]

They've been watching too much blues brothers :D

[discopants]

It's just me with my toast fixation :o .
I have a problem.

(200 posts- moving like a DT driving a Grand Fury, that's me.)

[b-grrrlie]

I make really good cakes, if I had a good oven. I have this gasoven now and nothing turns out right in it... :(

Foodwise my piece de resistance is woked sweet and sour vegetables. Usually I use what ever veg I have around, but the faves are sugar snaps, courgette, onion, red onion, sunflower seeds, baby corn, yellow and red pepper, broccoli and mushrooms.

[Freebasser]

Nobody, but nobody, can make a bacon and fried egg sandwich as well as I can.

[YoungRemy]

i make a mean serving of Hamburger Helper

[Hiebz]

I can make a mean: pizza, lasagne, and my favorite - jambalaya

mmmmm jambalaya ..... I'll have to post the recipe for it sometime, it can be done vegan-friendly too

[ET]

jambalaya ..... it can be done vegan-friendly too


:eek:

Blasphemy!

[Whois]

My mother-in-law is a true Italian and she taught me to make homemade pasta carbonara (pasta is from scratch).....it's awesome (y) I make it for eveyone that comes over for dinner....

What kind of eggs do you use, it's hard to get real carbonara where I live because of all the concerns over e-coli in eggs.

[Whois]

:eek:

Blasphemy!


Agreed, BURN THE HERETIC!

[Hiebz]

Agreed, BURN THE HERETIC!

I take that as a compliment, heretic is a good word! ..... and besides I said it can be done vegan friendly ... one can spread peanut butter on cats, but that obviously isn't necessary

I personally like jambalaya with as much diversity as possible - shrimp, some beef, some chicken, some pork, some sausage, different kinds of onions and peppers, and different kinds of spices ....

[Whois]

..and besides I said it can be done vegan friendly ... one can spread peanut butter on cats, but that obviously isn't necessary

Thank you for that interesting mental image...

[A. Remin' D.]

My specialty is a little "Pasta A. Remin' D.", the recipe varies from time to time. I just keep adding and tasting, making sure it tastes just right. (y)

[JBernas]

What kind of eggs do you use, it's hard to get real carbonara where I live because of all the concerns over e-coli in eggs.

I use regular eggs....it's probably hard to get it though in a restaraunt b/c of the ecoli concern....that's why I can't get a good MR burger anymore (n) ...but the theory goes that the eggs should be room temp, then when you throw on the boiling hot pasta, then add the simmering olive oil, garlic and proscuitto/pancetta, that it cooks it enough to be safe....

[Licorice Donut]

Nutty cabbage noodles is a stir fry thing I learned from me dad. It's sort of like lo mein but you can't really call it that unless you use lo mein noodles.
I use peanut oil, garlic, some kind of chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds, tofu, shredded cabbage, lots of ginger, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil. It's important to wait until the last minute just before serving, before tossing on the sesame oil. It's delicate and it can burn and taste bad if it is overcooked.

I can bbq a mad salmon or trout (after catching it), garlic butter cubed potatoes and ceasar.

I am the best french toast cook on earth, and I can bake bread from scratch without no bread maker..Cheating, it is.

[Licorice Donut]

Some of you have fancy grown-up sounding specialties. I feel inadequate. :(

[240sx]

How so? :(

Ohhh, I go fishing tonight hopefully..Lets see if I can BBQ a Cut-throat or a Rainbow.

[WhoMoi?]

Chocolate fudge.
I give it to people I work with for Christmas every year and they are always impressed. I try to tell them it's just the recipe on the back of the Fluff container but they don't seem to believe me. :confused:
