A place for us to share our "not so absurd" recipes... Coming soon (when I have a chance to type it in!) to an absurd restaurant near you... Irish Cream Brownies, better than ANYTHING, you've ever tasted.  -- Edited by HBOAdmin1 at 06/30/2006 11:20 AM

Since my family is out of town, and I'm not getting to see my man friend this weekend, I decided to make myself a decidedly un-4th of July-like salad:
Red leaf lettuce covering the plate making almost a bowl
Thinly sliced red onion
Small chunks of fresh mango
Chunks of avocado
Chunks of "Lobster" surimi
Sprinkled with very finely diced jalapeno
Citrus dressing:
Juice and zest of 1/2 lime, lemon, orange
2 TB white wine vinegar
Salt & fresh cracked pepper
1 crushed clove of garlic - remove from dressing before serving
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. dijon mustard
1 handful cilantro finely minced
Whisk it all together then let sit in fridge for about 1 hour to let flavors develop then lightly drizzle the salad
Topped with wonton skins sliced into ribbons, fried in vegetable oil & sprinkled with fine sea salt.
Oven fried zuchinni:
Slice zuchinni lengthwise into planks, dip in flour, then egg & milk mixed together, then flour once again. Put on lightly oiled baking sheet, bake at 400 degrees until crispy

Happy to provide the entertainment -- I love to cook for other people - not too inspiring just cooking for myself [except for when conducting experiments] -- probably because I'm a hog for positive reinforcement -- plus I know a good meal makes other people feel good .....
It [cooking] makes me feel good because it is something I am really good at [in my opinion, and that I take pride in] that also pleases others! It is a wonderful and self-reinforcing hobby.

hmmm. Cooking for one. I can relate. But at least you have all the condiments, spices, etc. on hand. So it's not to expensive to do a recipe.
I so enjoy reading the recipies and tales of you and CC's cooking.

Yep, that's the very thing. If you can find them or grow them, they are a lot tastier than the supermarket ones available to us here, and not any more expensive. Plus they are more interesting looking - some pink, some purple, yellow with green stripes.....
