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!

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 :)

Amy,you may be right about the Bowl of PEPPERJACK,an awsome mountain of cheese that was, the game talk though, Gurps,the dice have BO or something ??? you lost me at Gurps? where is Gamma world? obviously I know nothing of gaming! Mike, Smoked meats make great Mexican food! now I get to use the leftovers to make "Smoked Pork Taquitos!" a favorite in my house! Those peppers were just for decoration, got a bag of mini red & yellow bell peppers, great for eating too. between the "what does posting pictures of Pizza have to do with the subject matter" and "It made me want Pizza!" PMs I got from my reign of terror the other day, I would say 2 percent of TCers were not amused,But the rest either made pizza,got a pizza or just lusted after Pizza, I think I helped the Pizza shops out a bit! Thanks WestaDad! your turning into a BBQ Pitmaster! Zerostreet! another artist who cooks,is there a correlation between creative types of personalities & cooking? me thinks so, unless your LittleLostTiki, who is a fine Artist,but could not cook his way out a paper bag.

M MadDogMike Grand Member (8 years) The Anvil of the Sun Joined: Mar 30, 2008 Posts: 10857	M MadDogMike Posted posted on Mon, Aug 30, 2010 1:43 PM 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!

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.

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

M MadDogMike Grand Member (8 years) The Anvil of the Sun Joined: Mar 30, 2008 Posts: 10857	M MadDogMike Posted posted on Sun, Sep 5, 2010 6:44 PM 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!"

M MadDogMike Grand Member (8 years) The Anvil of the Sun Joined: Mar 30, 2008 Posts: 10857	M MadDogMike Posted posted on Sun, Sep 5, 2010 7:45 PM 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.
