Title: All OUCH and CH'ers
Post by catlind on Jan 14^th, 2003, 2:19pm

In an attempt to offset some costs and do some fun things for the conventions, we are going to be putting together an OUCH Clusterhead Cookbook.

I am requesting (insisting ;) ) that everyone please submit their favo(u)rite recipe(s) for the cookbook. Sommelier, I would love if you would supply a wine list of what wines to drink with what dishes.

Email your recipes to Roxy:
twasinger@msn.com

This may be a fun way to raise some money through the OUCH store after the convention as well.

Well, Cat, we'll definately need to include the recipe for Newfie Screech in the cookbook. We should serve it to the Americans in the hospitality suite at the convention. Just for laffs. ;)

Great idea about the cookbook!

If everyone could try to send at least 10, at the minimum, recipes, it would really be great.

If you don't want to type them in, you can scan them and send them to me. I'll do the typing for you.

Just send anything you think is good. Your Mom's recipes, your wife's, your boyfriend, your significant other's.........etc....... (yes, edible body paint recipes will be included)

If you want, tell a story about how you got the recipe....include anything you want to. (Not real sure if we'll include how you got the body paint recipes!!)

Thanks ;D

Charlie’s Meatloaf:

First, thaw out the oddly colored ground beef you bought at the flea market or you can use the 1987 Stouffers meatloaf dinner you found behind the rubbery ice cream you bought to celebrate Clinton’s first Presidential election.

Next: Chisel out enough space in the microwave to ram in the dinner. After duct-taping the door shut, pound on the key pad that no longer works as a timer. Crack open the six pack you found in the garage along with the dog you haven’t seen in four days. Relax.

Head for the TV room and turn on Jerry Springer. No need to stay awake because the smoke alarm will tell you when the meatloaf is done for.

After destroying the smoke detector and sending away the fire department, that your neighbor called, grope your way to the kitchen and start the process of separating your now delicious black and gray dinner from the dissolved plastic container. You are now ready for your last supper. Enjoy. Serves no one in particular

Snake Oil Chocolate Vodka...

One Double Boiler
4 Big Mars Bars
One Bottle cheap-as-chips Vodka
One pinch of nutmeg

Melt the mars bars in the double boiler till they're as runny as melted mars bars can get. Add all the vodka slowly and stir continously. Add the nutmeg and stir. Pour the mixture back into the bottle and store in the freezer.

Serve hot or ice cold

Best on flesh...

Do you have someone to publish it already? One of my customers is Cookbook Publishers, Inc. and that is all they do. My brother in law is the maintenance manager there. I might be able to get some good pricing.

I also provide all the network systems for Inter-State Studio and Publishing Company along with all their website design. They might be able to get me a good price.

Hey.. me too.. I'll send some recipes.

Are bread machine recipes ok?? I have one in particular that's really good.

Good Idea!!!

Tina :-*

Title: Re: All OUCH and CH'ers
Post by Roxy on Jan 15^th, 2003, 2:02pm

Tina, yes, bread recipes are great. Send anything....the more the better. It takes a lot of recipes to fill up a cookbook.

Charlie: The meatloaf recipe sounds like something I'd actually pay good money to watch you fix.

Dannyboy: The Snake Oil Chocolate Vodka recipe sounds interesting. Sometimes I have to try out recipes before I include them in a book! ;D ;D

RevDeFord: Thanks for your offer. I've never looked into having them published. Depends on the number we need. Usually if the number is under 50 or so, I can do it pretty well off the computer. That way if people keep sending new recipes later, I can just fix a new page up, and send them to everyone who bought a copy.

Title: Re: All OUCH and CH'ers
Post by catlind on Jan 15^th, 2003, 2:06pm

Thanks for all the responses! This is great! This was a joint idea, I had thought of doing it before and never did, and Tracey (Roxy) emailed me and suggested it as a fundraiser.

She does this every year for her family reunion and I believe she has all the stuff for publishing it. Rev, email Tracey and ask her what she might need. I've delegated this task to her for the convention.

Bread machine recipes are very welcome! As well as Don's Toast, and any funny recipes you have, as well any 'tea' recipes ;)

Remember this is a cookbook for all CH'ers that hopefully will be such a success we can sell it in the OUCH store. So all funny recipes are good too, that helps us all with the clusters when we can laugh.
Who knows, maybe we'll try and cook some up at the convention! LOL

If anyone doesn't want to bother typing the recipes into emails, just copy them an mail them to me. Just send me an email, and I'll send you back my address.

Thanks,

Post by BobG on Jan 16^th, 2003, 9:18pm

Here's my favorite recipes. These are from our personal chef(s). Somebody said send 10 so that’s all I'm sending.

1. Go to Applebee's. Set in Judi's section. She the best waitress there. Stay out of Mike’s section. He's a loud mouth, obnoxious SOB. Order the Oriental Chicken Salad with the sauce on the side. If you’re really starving order the full serving, otherwise the half serving is enough.

2. Go to Outback Steakhouse. Set in Reesie's section. Order the Onion Loaf for an appetizer. Order the Porterhouse and fries. It’s huge. Eat half the steak and half the fries. Take the other half home.

3. Next day eat the Outback leftovers.

4. Go to Jack In The Box. Get the Ultimate Cheeseburger, fries and a giant Coke.

5. Go to Applebee's again. Order the Riblet basket. Get the garlic bread with it.

6. Go to Marie Calendar's. Order a pecan pie and chocolate milk shake. After the pie is gone, if you’re still hungry, order something from the menu. It’s all good. Get a Bumble berry pie to take home.

7. Go to Spaghetti Factory. Set in Jennifer's section. Order the lasagna. Or the thing that has the mazithera (or something like that) cheese on it. After your go home, eat all of the Bumble berry pie.

8. Go to Tony Roma's. Set in Junie's section. He's, yes Junie is a he, a little fruity but the best waiter there. Order the Baby Back Ribs with Carolina Honey sauce. And get the Big Mountain chocolate cake with ice cream.

9. Go to the Cheesecake Factory and get the Sweet and Sour pork. And any cheesecake.
For dessert get more cheesecake. Get a cheesecake to take home.

10. Mix up 1 thru 9 above and start over.

Cat I think Dr Ford has a good idea about publising it. Reason being You can get more than needed for the convention everyone loves cook books. Those can be sold at the OUCH store. They make great gifts for Moms Dads, Aunts Uncles Brothers Sisters and so on.

We did this with a Org. I was involved in years ago and brought in some big Bucks.

"Svenn's No-no Recipe"
On cooking and recipes....the last time i tried to do something positive in
that direction i almost start a fire in the appartment.
Bente was working the late evening shift and I thought, "I want to suprise
her, with some dinner. Two burgers and eggs in the pan and the stove on
full and just sat down in my chair with the newspaper.
Guess you know the rest now....
I woke up about 2 hours later.The pan had never been that clean but I cant
say that about the kitchen. I got the job to wash down the kitchen. That
was 2 days with cleaning and paint and stuff. That's the reason that the
kitchen is off limits to me still after 23 years.
The sad thing is that this really happened.
Bente still reminds me about this.
Think there should be a warning sign in the stores about the danger when
you buy a stressless - stressless is the most comfortable chair to buy here.

Hey 2late, if your past the point of memory function...have your wife follow you around....maybe she can write everything down !!! ;D

I always have a bottle of wine open when I'm cooking, a splash here and there, it gest added to everything....enhances the tast, excluding cupcakes (now those were nasty!)

Post by SommelierCH on Jan 22^nd, 2003, 7:28am

Catlind and Roxy,

When I figure out how to write it as a recipe, I will send you my “How to turn cheap red wine into a rich desert sauce, by doing almost nothing”. Use it over French Vanilla Ice Cream, or cheese blintz (frozen and cheap). For any bachlor/bachlorettes out there, this is your secret weapon. A sensuous dessert, is the lead-in to the rest of the evening.

I think the wine pairing with the recipies, is the perfect, ironic Cluster touch. Let me know. I’m going to post some cheaper wines, now.

PFDAN

David J.

P.S.

Woobie, about the pheasant and wine, it depends on the sauce. With no sauce, I would go with a CA pinot noir (a lighter bodied red that won’t overwhelm the bird, yet has enough guts to stand up to any gaminess). Or a French Rhone Valley red, try a “Cote de Rhone” for about $10-12, or a Chateauneuf-du-Pape, (Southern Rhone).

Title: Re: All OUCH and CH'ers
Post by catlind on Jan 22^nd, 2003, 12:26pm

So David, what would you suggest for the ice wine to go with that wine dessert? LOL

Geez, you bachelors are gonna be terrible if we keep giving out tips like that! LOL

Cat

(who LOVES the German and Niagara ice wines)

Title: Re: All OUCH and CH'ers
Post by SommelierCH on Jan 23^rd, 2003, 11:35am

Cat,

If they’ve got ice wine, they are half-way to the bedroom already. Screw the dessert.

It’s hard for an ice wine (Eiswein) to stand up to a red wine reduction. I would probably go with a ruby port, I like “Fonseca Bin 27” big, red, fresh, fruity and inexpensive. (Oh yeah, there are berries in the sauce)

For a true German Eiswein, I would go with a Riesling from:
FRANZ KUNSTLER (Producer)
HOCHHEIMER HOLLE (Town/Vineyard)
Eiswein 2001

Hochheim is in the Rheingau region (brown bottle).

The German government monitors sugar levels, so Eiswein can’t be made in every year by every producer. All German Rieslings age very well, because of the balance of acid and sugar. So, in this case vintages don’t matter as much.

You do have expensive tastes, though. This reasonably priced 375ml. bottle of Eiswein, wholesales at $92. (Bachlor/bachlorettes, use the tiniest frigging glasses you can find).

David J.

Title: Re: All OUCH and CH'ers
Post by catlind on Jan 23^rd, 2003, 12:30pm

David, we generally have Reisling Eiswein anyway. We've tried probably 6 different kinds when were over there, the best was one that was from 1989 and cost $350 DM but it was DAMN good.

The bottle we had at xmas was Carl Adelseck
Rheinhessen
1999 Wöllstener Hölle
Grauburgunder
Eiswein.

Was ok. I've had much better ;)

Yes, once hubby tasted ice wine, that was it, he was hooked, outside of buying your basic cheap strawberry zinfandel, the only wine we have in this house is ice wine or home made quebec red. (I should send you a bottle for critique - email me your address and tell me how to ship it)

We can get all the german eiswein's here on base because they import them from Germany, one of the perks of military. But the Niagara wines are very good as well, Inniskillen being my favorite.

I'm not a red wine fan since it instantly gives me a headache, but I've had some that were very - how would you say it in sommelier terms - full bodied! LOL

Cat

Now if I could just convince hubby that ice wine is a SIPPING wine and not to be served in a wine glass but a liqueour (sp) glass!
