Some great looking food here! My first contribution to this thread is something my father grilled over at our house for my daughter's 1st birthday this weekend. These kabobs were amazing! Beef and lamb, marinated with my father's Cuban mojo. Also a nightime pic of one of my papaya trees! I was never a fan of papaya until my Dad planted these in my yard. They are amazingly delicious! It's got 2 offshoots and hopefully within a month or two I will show pics here of the fruit sliced up! |

HOLY COW!!!! :o It's an avalanche of food! ATP and Chris, I never thought about smoke pork in Mexican food before but it's a perfect match. A little chili dry rub - hmmm...... ATP, I hope those habaneros were just for decoration :D Tom, now you're thinking like Man vs Wild - eat what you have to to survive :lol: Robert, welcome to the food fest, nice lookin' 'bobs you got there. I planted a papaya tree last month and it was looking a little wilted in our 110+ temps. I gave it some shade and more water and it is loving the heat now - putting on all kinds of new leaves. Who knows if it will ever fruit here though. Yummy pizza Amy, you can blame your pizza cravings on ATP :) |

OK, I am on the verge of a new food invention - BELGIAN MEAT WAFFLES!!!! I likes me a good meatball sub but the meatballs always try to squirm their way out of the sandwich. I considered an oblong, bread-sized meat patty but there is not enough surface area and the meat to sauce ratio would be off. But if you form the patty and cook it in a Belgian waffle maker it would have all those divots to hold more sauce and melted cheese! Will commence beta testing on my next day off :D PS - My son had a Belgian waffle in Belgium last week, said it was the best waffle he ever had! |

ATP, you really outdid yourself with that incredible spread. The slow cooked meat was tender and delicious. It was also very spicey, requiring consumption of additional Mai Tais. I guess that was part of your plan! Stacey's corn bread was also outstanding--I now know her culinary talents extend well beyond Lapu Lapu making. Brent [ Edited by: congawa 2010-08-30 15:30 ] |

I was standing in my kitchen today and realized that it's been almost two months since I've cooked anything in it more then soup or a grilled cheese. I was determined to cook this Sunday but my boss keeps volenteering me for every shift someone else doesn't feel like working. I will have to just keep drooling over the fine meals posted here. |

You can do it Erk!!! I was rapidly passing through the canned food aisle today when I saw a can of Hominy Salad. I backed up and looked again, it was actually cans of hominy next to cans of 3 bean salad, but I said "Why not?" So I mixed Hominy, Corn, Black Beans, Salsa, Bell Pepper, Avocado, Lime Juice, Cumin, Salt & Pepper and served it as a dip with fresh made corn tortilla chips. Also Tilapia Ceviche Tacos, Fried Tilapia Tacos with Guacamole and PEPPER JACK CHEESE, and Sangria Punch |

ATP. hominy is one of those under-appeciated foods like tripe and Limburger cheese (except I like hominy) I bought some smoked paprika recently, it smelled so good I had to find a recipe to put it in. So tonight it's Hungarian Chicken over farfale pasta and panfried zuchinni with sour cream & dill. Dessert was apple strudel
Maybe I've posted this lament before but when my wife cooks I'm supposed to clean. Yet when I cook, I still have to clean - why is that? The missus says it's because I'm a MESSY cook (I won't embarass myself by posting pictures of the kitchen this evening) Actually, it's because I "married up" and I know it - I'll do anything to keep her :D Can I get an "Amen!"

Thanks Robert. Very simple recipe: sliced apples tossed with cinnamon, a little flour, and a little sugar (I used Splenda for my diabetic son-in-law). Roll a puff pastry sheet out a little, wrap the apples in the pastry, brush it with an egg wash and bake at 375 for 35 minutes. 10 minutes prep for a fresh warm strudel. |

Happy Labor Day everyone! I tromped around two state parks yesterday which made me hungry like a bear. So it was steak for dinner. Saturday we visited a local orchard and picked some apples and delicious peaches. This is the apple of my eye with a tasty lunch of a grilled provolone & tomato sandwich and another peach. |
