FOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!! Recipes and Cooking Tips

**MissyO** · 05-05-2007, 11:12 AM

Yep, it's another politically incorrect thread for Womens Forum. But I don't give a rats. This place needs a cooking thread at least, and I may as well start it. I've been considering it for a while, but I just found something so wonderful that it needs to be shared:

Adzuki Bean Vodka Smoothie

This is a spin off from the Aduki Bean Tropical Ice Smoothie, with a little twist. What difference would a splash of vodka make to your summer drink? Just imagine sharing it with your loved one... It's like buying yourself an effordable romantic dinner, with a twist!

Ingredients:

1. 100g Adzuki bean, soak for 1 hour
2. 4 tablespoons of brown sugar
3. 800ml water
4. 1 cup of fresh milk
5. 2 tablespoon of dried apricot (chopped)
6. 1 tablespoon of vodka for each glass served

Preparation:

1. Rinse and strain the beans, pour them into a pot together with the water and ring it to a boil, then carry on with low heat until the beans are soft and the husks are separated.
2. Add in the dried apricot and boil on low heat for another 30 minutes.
3. Add the brown sugar and boil it till all sugar is disolved.
4. Pour in the milk and simmer it over low heat for about 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Live it to room temperature, then blend it slightly to smoothen the beans.
6. Splash in the vodka and stir well.
7. Serve with or without ice.

Versatility Note:

1. Vodka is not the your favourite? Go on then, try it with your own choice of spirit.
2. Try not to get addicted.

This is a very popular meal when you're too tired to make anything else

Ingredients:

1. 1 Pound of hamburger
2. 1 package of hamburger buns
3. 4 Slices of cheese (preferably orange cheese)

Preparation:

1. Rip open the package of hamburger, put a handful in a plastic bag.
2. Mash the bag on the counter so the meat becomes flat and round
3. Put in the frying pan, which should be turned on to medium
4. Add some salt & Pepper, for extra taste, some steak sauce.
5. Repeat process to make three other burgers.
6. When you see smoke, flip them over and burn the other side.
7. Add cheese and put on the buns.

Versatility Note:

1. Some people will then want to add toppings.
2. Try not to get fat.

That sound yummy, Bill, and with the melted plastic bag, the burgers won't crumble and fall though the spaces on the grill.

**Bill5461** · 05-06-2007, 03:01 PM

Added flavor too!

Yes please, MissyO and me are the only ones cooking here

**Jocasta** · 05-08-2007, 07:10 AM

I lost my favourite cheese cake recipe last Christmas and had to make a inferior version... so a pukka New York Baked Cheese Cake recipe would be great.

My peanut sauce is pretty good... dead easy and as hot as you can take it.

**MSFixR** · 05-08-2007, 07:33 AM

Bill, molding hamburger in a plastic bag doesn't quality as cooking. You have to break some eggs, toss some flour around, you know, break a sweat.
