No 56k: Twerp's cookins

[Derek]

That looks incredibly easy and yummey, perhaps even I can make that!

Made shepherds pie today, Ramsays version is the best I've ever had, very sweet and all the flavors combine well.

Just a quick question - your food looks yum and I really want to have a go at key lime pie, but there are two ingredients we can't get in the UK - key limes and graham crackers. Now I can probably get hold of a bottle of juice, so I guess when it comes to cooking the pie, I'll just have to play with myself as I won't have to juice the limes myself (and if I can't, the whole thing kind of becomes made of fail anyway) but what would be a good substitute for the cracker crumbs? I suppose I could crush digestive biscuits (that's what I normally do for cheesecake etc.) but would they be too sweet?

Bugger. If I have to crush the biscuits, that'll take up the time I could have used to play with myself :lol:

You don't have graham crackers? What!?

I guess you could use some sort of cracker or hard cookies to break up. Yahoo answers says to use a wheat biscuit. And make sure you use Key Lime juice, Lime juice will make it taste shit.

Bugger.

Don't put bugers in it, I'd use food coloring if you really need to have it green.

 

[Wyvern]

Thanks Will seek out Key Lime juice when I'm in London on the weekend and try some wholewheat digestives as a base. And I definitely won't use ordinary lime as the thought of a pie that tastes shit is quite unappealing

And no buggers or bugers. Got it

dammit that shepherds pie looks awesome, why did I come here at lunchtime when I have nothing to eat

(Ignore the lemons and the vermouth, I'm using them for another recipe, just happened to be on my shopping list today)

Soak the breadcrumbs in Milk,

http://pic.armedcats.net/t/tw/twerp129/2009/02/18/IMG_3622.JPG

Combine all ingredients in bowl,

http://pic.armedcats.net/t/tw/twerp129/2009/02/18/IMG_3625.JPG

Roll into 1"-1.5" balls, and dust with the flour and fry in olive oil (If you have a cast iron skillet use it!) After they turn brown throw the skillet in a 425 degree oven for 7-10 minutes. Set aside.

http://pic.armedcats.net/t/tw/twerp129/2009/02/18/IMG_3626.JPG

Combine all the stew ingredients in a crock pot or large pot, place crock pot on high until the potatoes start to get tender, then turn the pot to the lowest setting and add the meatballs to the top. let the potatoes cook 'till tender then stir.

I'll update with pics when it's done.

 

[Twerp128]

I'm not updating pics of the last dish because it didn't turn out quite right and I really don't feel like it. So then on to my next recipe.

Cajun Blackened Catfish It's Mardi Gras!

Ingredients:
1 Catfish Fillet
Olive Oil
Lemon

For the rub:
1 Part Salt
1 Part Pepper
1 Part Cayenne Pepper
1/2 Part Thyme
1/2 Part Onion powder

http://pic.armedcats.net/t/tw/twerp129/2009/02/24/IMG_3629.JPG

Wash the catfish, prepare the rub, and work it into the fillet. Brush with oil and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour.
http://pic.armedcats.net/t/tw/twerp129/2009/02/24/IMG_3632.JPG

Heat up an oiled pan on high until the oil is just about to smoke, add the catfish and continue to cook on extremely high heat. The pan has to be hot to blacken the meat which is essentially burning the blackening rub.

Flip, and cook until firm to the touch, like a well done steak.

Serve with Rice-A-Roni

Don't spoil it for those of us who like hi-res.

Alternatively, and arguably a better solution as it means the thread doesn't lag and users aren't downloading unnecessarily large files, post a thumbnail to a hi-res image, that way everyone's happy.

I'm just lazy and didn't resize my pictures from my previous stuff. Resized this batch to 1024, but next time maybe we'll go to 800x600.
