jraf 0 #1 March 7, 2003 Children it is the 6th of the month, so more food suggestions from me. This time, to make it different I shall post exerts from two emails to the love of my life: before food and after 1. ....Beuf Chateaubriand in green pepercorn sauce. I shall buy the best Filet Mignon steak, it should have NO fat. Just pure red meat. This shall be grilled on high falme, to make it juicy. I shall get some marinated green peppercorn, smash them on the cutting board with a spoon. I will simmer them in just a tiny drop of olive oil and right before the steak is ready I will add sour cream. The side will be Jasmin rice (this is a French dish, but I love jasmine rice) topped with fresh diced chives and tomatoes. I will sprinkle the rice with a tad of olive oil before I add the veggies. I think I might have a glass of really decent red tonight. 2. The food turned out great. The filet mignon (you know how we pronounce it) is simple fare, but with the green peppercorns in sour cream it is magic. Especially that it was grilled on real oak charcoal...no lighter fluid used. The simplicity and wholesomeness of rice with fresh tomatoes and chives is refreshing. Irpinia wine is simply poetic in it's richness and multitude of experiences it provides. And San Pellegrino of course...the life giving sparkling water.....fine meal it is....fine meal indeed. And as my sacramental Grand Finale goes: Fuck Fast Food!jraf Me Jungleman!

jraf 0 #3 March 7, 2003 Actually I wanted to write "been there, done that.." but that would not be true. Fact, the Filet Mignon was abnoxiously expensive...and as an unemployed person who does not get unemployment money I should not. Then again, who cares and I will sooner not buy gas for the car then not eat right. IMPORTANT NOTICE: All you who come to Orlando and feel hungry....give me 60 minutes notice. I will go to the fresh market, buy ingredients and feed you. Papa Hans' is open 24/7 jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Papa Hans' is open 24/7 For those who don't frequent Orlando, there is a branch of Papa Hans' in Portland, Oregon. We request a week's notice, however. Our smoker/grill uses real chunk mesquite charcoal and a selection of 7 log hardwoods: oak, sugar maple, apple, pear, cherry, mesquite, and my favorite, pecan.

meatmissile 0 #13 March 7, 2003 This, people, is another excellent example why this guy should be dropzone.com character of the year. While his choice of subject line leaves somewhat to desire and hints at cheap sensationalism, the content of his post is, as always, entertaining. While I strongly suspect that his authority on the subject of food is as questionable as his knowlege of beer, I find his posts entertaining and informative. Thanks, Hans ! -- ZZZzzzz....

mouth 0 #16 March 7, 2003 I firmly believe ANYONE can cook if they choose to set their mind to it and can read and follow simple instructions. Generaly after I make a dish once by the "written" method I never use that again but expand on it to make it my own. Not every meal need to take hours to be good. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nacmacfeegle 0 #23 March 7, 2003 Cook-off cook out boogie. Thats a tip-top idea Raf, we used to do this at the wee DZ I used to hang out at in Scotland. Things got pretty sophisticated pretty quickly, and the aromas of an evening around the Braai were sumptuous. We also had comps to find the best wines within a certain budget range etc, but there was a winery next door to the DZ (asking for trouble huh?), which made some yummy organic wine from local produce. The name of the place was Cairn o Mhor http://www.cairnomohr.co.uk/ (pronounced care no more), it was pretty wicked stuff.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Opie 0 #24 March 7, 2003 Ok so you guys can cook but the question is--Can you cook for 20 at Rantoul????? I hear Carbones kitchen will be nearby maybe you can borrow it for a little contest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jraf 0 #25 March 7, 2003 The difference between cooking for 2 and cooking for 20 is the amount of prep cooks I need. So if you want to eat, get ready to clean carrots and chop garlicI love the position of executive chef - I will get to order people around in the kitchen and make a very wise facial expression jraf Me Jungleman!
