Kumoricon Culinary thread

[Animeman73]

Today while I was buying some vegetables for a culinary inspiration I suddenly came up with the idea of creating a thread here on the forums for those of us Kumoricon people who have maybe a little bit of the cook in us. So here you can show off your skills by showing recipes for your culinary delights.

I imagine that this delicious topic will have people complaining about how their mouths are watering. LOL

Anyway I have a few little recipes and I'll be happy to put them up here.

The omnivore's delight (Dinner Salad)

Ingredients
2 to 3 tomatoes, 1 container of fresh mushrooms, 1 pack of baby Spinach,  4 to 5 stalks of celery,a pack of baby carrots,  a pack of cheddar cheese, 2 chicken paddies.

1. Chop up the vegtables and pour them into a large salad bowl of some kind. Take the two large chicken paddies, set them on a towel, and put the towel in a microwave oven. Cook the paddies for 2 minutes, wait until they're cool ennough then take them out of the microwave. Use a knife and cutting board to cut the paddies up into pieces. Pour the chicken pieces into the salad bowl. Open the cheddar cheese pack and pour contents into the salad bowl. Mix everything together then serve. Optional: Add Rach, 1000 Island, or any type of dressing.

Here are some pumpkin spice doughnuts I made esp for Vallies birthday last year, unfortunatly I got the recipe off the internets and didn't record the site
tip, I used pumpkin pie filling as when I got it, the store didn't have plain pumpkin filling and it saved me the step of adding all the spices to the mix

One thing I actually like to do now instead is cook it in a .. man, I can't remember what it's called .. It's a few inches deep and rectangular.. ^^;;  Anyways, it makes the crush SLIGHTLY thicker but the big plus is that I can really pile on the cream on top .. and then I'll stick it in the fridge for an hour or so and omg when you pull it out, it's .... a-mazing ...... I probably have a pic of it somewhere, but I .. dunno where. XD

I make a kick-ass beer bread and sugar cookies. >w<

It's been such a long time that I've forgotten the recipes, though...I'll have to go find those again sometime. ^^;

[NARUNIK]

^^....YOU ARE THE MAN. That looks so good. That looks so good. That looks so good.

I made french toast today using cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. I didn't add fresh pineapple slices grilled in butter. Those take so long to brown pineapple. Especially if you are crazy enough to try browning canned pineapple. That would have been Hawaiian French toast.

[thesirensings]

I made fried rice today! It didn't turn out too bad, but I think I'll use less oil next time.

[Wuntvor]

I can't cook, but here is something for those of you who do.

"Insider's Recipes Master Edition"

Just reading the descriptions will make me hungry.

Enjoy!

I made ribs awhile ago.. mmm~

[thesirensings]

You made those? Awesome! Good job!

I don't feel proud now of making BBQ pork in the crock pot using pork and the last of the Kraft BBQ sauce. I may do something like this with chicken breats and teriyaki soy sauce tonight.

[Pots]

^{yes, the cake is cream filled with wipped strawberry frosting ^^.}

[jaybug]

my diabetic blood is sugar rushing just looking at the picture. They look like a magazine photo shoot, they just look Martha Stewart perfect to me.

[thesirensings]

^^ Those look delicious, Pots. I want one. *A* Any chance you could bring one to to the con for me?  I'll give you cookies! Actually, I'd give you cookies either way, I'm bringing a bunch with me to feed people with.

[RokusasuKun]

WAH they look so good! <3

[jaybug]

It's official, Pots. You need to make some for the rest of the class! PLEASE!

Yes I can But They would have to be eaten early in the day. (tastes better)

[thesirensings]

Understood. *thumbs up*

Those tarts look amazing as well. I think you'd make an awesome pastry chef.

[Pots]

haha i just followed a recipe : )

Last year I made 20 riceballs for my group to share. They are more fun to make than pastries (and easy).

[Kagome219]

I baked some "sweet sixteen" cupcakes a while ago for my friend, and just the other day made a double-layer chocolate vegan "sixteen 1/2" birthday cake. Both were delicious~ (The cupcakes were Funfetti, but the vegan cake was from scratch. >.<)  I'll post some pictures later.

[thesirensings]

Hey, with everyone in here making stuff, do you think maybe we could have a picnic? Maybe at Pioneer Square, weather permitting? It could be fuuuuuun~!

[Pots]

picnic sounds cool!

what is funfetti?

[Kagome219]

@Siren: I would enjoy a picnic~

Perhaps I should post a thread elsewhere about this.... *goes to do this*

[Pots]

yay !

[jaybug]

tarts

Well, you sure are, aren't you?!? That's enough out of you. Are you trying to make me sick or something? Or just green with envy? Your desserts just look way too good. I can taste that tart from here. Look, see? I have berry juice running down my chin!

[thesirensings]

Picnic thread posted!

[jaybug]

How does this sound, take some frozen pineapple chunks, some diced chicken breasts, teriyaki sauce, and toss that all into the crock-pot overnight, for lunches tomorrow?

[Pots]

^{first time making christmas ham I made the potatos too (they are very spicy).}

[The_Geek]

Note to self: Vegetarians should not frequent this thread.

^{first time making christmas ham I made the potatos too (they are very spicy).}

Awesome! And you spiral sliced it too! Whoa. I can't do that. No spiral slicer.

Were the potatoes too spicy? Tch, tch. Always taste!

Recipe I learned from Hamburger Mary's when I cooked there. Boil giant Russet Burbank potatoes until tender. Allow to cool overnight. Slice into bite size chunks. Dump some onto griddle (grill in the restaurant), add butter, or margarine if you need trans fats, add garlic, parsley and paprika, TO TASTE. Let brown, and serve hot. Throw on cheese if you like. Maybe even some taco meat too, then garnish with chopped scallions (green onions)

My wife says the crock pot teri chix was good. I had to first brown everything in a frying pan first. I just couldn't do this without some browning, especially of the pineapple. I used Mother's Choice butter, from Oregon City! Amazing I can get butter from there here in Eugene.
I'm going to have this with short grain rice and some frozen peas, after work.

[Pots]

^{oh i like them spicy My uncle actually carved it, he likes doing things like that.}

[Kagome219]

Here are the Funfetti™ cupcakes and chocolate vegan cake~

[jaybug]

Those look good too.

How do you get a vegan cake to rise, as you aren't using eggs, right?

[Cyprus]

^{oh i like them spicy My uncle actually carved it, he likes doing things like that.}

Mmmmm....I love spicy food.

I do a ton of cooking...it's one of the things I love to do. When I get home I will put up a couple pictures I have taken at some of the BBQ's I have hosted. I'll try & remember to take pictures when I am cooking

[Pots]

^{I made a bento because i was hungry and bored lol ^^. I feel sad to eat my chicky  D:}

[Washougal_Otaku]

If anybody knows how to make traditional okonomiyaki, I'd love to learn how!  I tried it once four years ago as a way to celebrate my birthday while waching the Seahawks beating the snot out of the Eagles on Monday Night Football, 42-0.  (Biggest shut-out in MNF history).

[Cyprus]

Here are just a couple pics from some BBQ's I hosted for all the workers in my plant. Prepared all the food myself (home made injections, spices, marinades....& of course the bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos) & the pictures were taken on my phone while I was smoking it all on Traeger BBQ's. Nothing too impressive...I will be sure to take other pictures. There was a TON more food but I only took a few pics that looked decent. Sorry they are so big >.<

[jaybug]

I hope you got paid for all that work. Woof! Speaking of woof, did they all woof it down?

What a cute little bento. I guess I'd ahve a hard time eating the chicky too. Head first, or nibble on the tiny feet.

[Sakurakisser]

I made mini fruit tarts from scratch.

[Sakurakisser]

^{I made a bento because i was hungry and bored lol ^^. I feel sad to eat my chicky  D:}

I help run the place so ya, I get paid to cook for everyone, & the company covers all the expenses for the food, spices, pellets, etc. We usually end up cooking about 60+ lbs of meat for these BBQ's...not to mention, we do it potluck style so all the people bring in lots of random foods(lots of hispanic workers so there are a lot of different salsas, enchiladas, etc...<3 mexican food ). I don't have pictures of the last one, but we had over 40 lbs. of Carne Asada that was hand marinaded by a little hispanic woman (who happens to be my bosses wife) with home made tortillas & salsas.

Holy cow Sakurakisser...I don't eat sweets too often but now I have a sweet tooth  Share?

So, anyone...?

I'm not exactly sure the chemistry behind it... I used basic ingredients. I don't know if baking soda would be the reason?
