Since I love cooking and I always end up making the same dishes all the time, I thought I'd start a cooking thread here to share recipes and pictures of our food. Personally I think the idea is :eek:-hawsome. So I guess I'll start with todays cooking.

Meatballs

Ingredients 1 person:

200g ground beef
2 dl cream
2 medium sized potatoes
Soy
1 stock cube
Salt
White peppar
1 egg
1 onion
Breadcrumbs


Started by chopping up the onion in two halves, chopped one in "small" bits. They should be smaller but I like chunks so here we go.

After that, fry the onion and start boiling potatoes. That looks something like this.

Now the interesting things start, mix ground beef, the egg, breadcrumbs, salt n peppa and fried onion. Make sure you blend the breadcrumbs with a very small amount of water. First mix everything else except onions then put on the onions at last because otherwise the egg might cook itself a bit due to the heat from the onions. Taste the mix to make sure there is enough salt n peppa.

Chop up the rest of the onion and roll your balls. Protip: wet your hands when you roll the meatballs, they stick much less to your hands and fingers then. Yummy yummy.

Now, fry the living hell out of those bastards!

When theyre done, put them on your plate. Then pour cream on the fryingpan, add the stock cube and some soy, the gravy is done when the stock cube has melted.

I noticed that now haha. Just don't think about them. I smoke under the fan so they're always next to the stove.

Eww, cigarette flavored meatballs.

I got one, and really simple. Just add ice cream (any flavor, but vanilla or chocolate is best), milk, coffee (brewed or instant), and cinnamon. Mix in a cup and add whipped cream if desired. Viola! A Starbuck sytle drink!

Lazy man's rice crispy treat.

Yes, I do believe I invented this lazy method myself : )
I think it's better than the traditional way, as treats are
much better when hot, so it makes sense to make small
batches.

1 tblsp butter
2 marshmellows
1 cup rice crispies cereal

Heat butter for ~15 seconds in microwave.
Add marshmellows and heat for ~15 seconds,
it is natural for them to swell as they heat.
Stir mixture into, um, goop. if it won't mix
well, just heat for ~10 more seconds and mix
again. Microwave power varies a lot, so it is
hard to give certain time units. Also, you may
want different proportions of 'goop' to cereal
than what I list. You will get a feel for it with
a few tries. Stir cereal in well and eat while
hot. Repeat 40 or 50 times a day until you are
completely burned out on them.

Great, now I'm wanting them again.

That seems like a really nice snack. I have to do that when I buy a microwave (I've been meaning to buy one for ~1 year but never get my ass out of the sofa and do it).

Timpak, your potatoes look as if you haven't cleaned them. I hope I'm not right, but to be on the safe side, here's a quick online guide how to clean potatoes: http://www.ehow.com/how_5053986_prepare-home-grown-new-potatoes.html (I am too lazy to explain that by myself, and I really hope I just have a false impression and your potatoes are yummy and clean ;) )

Pro tip: you don't have to clean new potatoes if you want to roast them.

Speaking of coffee-based recipes, here's a couple of my favorites:

Turbo Cola: Put 1 shot chilled espresso in a glass, then add a few cubes of frozen coffee. (just put leftover coffee in an ice cube tray) Fill the glass with Coke. The resulting drink has a thick froth on it, and the bitterness of the espresso blends well with the coke flavor.

Brownie Mocha Trifle: Bake a batch of cake-style brownies, cool, and cut into bite-size pieces. Mix up a batch of instant chocolate pudding, but replace 1/4 cup of the milk with cold coffee or espresso. Do the same with either vanilla or white chocolate pudding. Layer the brownies and pudding in a trifle bowl or other serving bowl. Top with whipped cream, and dust lightly with cocoa.

Another favorite household recipe: African Chicken Stew (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/African-Chicken-Stew/Detail.aspx) I just made a batch of this last night.
