If you need to bring a dish and want to blow their minds and/or socks off, what would you make within the limits of normal human capability
-
The two dishes that always gets the most compliments that I make is my smoked chicken wrapped in bacon and my brisket.
-
I like to chop up a couple of potatoes(skin on)
spread out a sheet of tin foil
smear some butter in the middle of the sheet
pile up the chopped potatoes on the butter
add garlic salt and pepper
add a dab of butter on top of the pile
fold the tinfoil over the pile and seal
throw it on the grill for 40-50 minutes
It's long enough to get the potatoes around the outside a little crispy.

I will reply later in depth with pictures.

i thought OMGWOW was going to be some new kind of food

I've had very good results using recipes from Americas Test Kitchen. The recipes are completely unpretentious and emphasize flavor. For a pot luck I would recommend their Mac and cheese (http://www.food.com/recipe/classic-macaroni-and-cheese-americas-test-kitchen-260199). The last time I cooked this up it was easily the most popular dish.

Watermelon + vodka.
-
I don't have an 'OMGWOW' recipe. Frankly I don't know what that means and I don't want any part in these shenanigans.

the stuff inside my pee pee

Probably should've put this in the OP but I get raves for my pan fried steak - cure it with Montreal Steak Spice for an hour or two, clean that off and 30 secs each side on a hot cast iron pan then put it in a 500F oven for 5 minutes.

That's really a show I gotta watch more, hadn't watched it in a few years and happened by it this past weekend for a few mins where they made a pretty simple but perfect Salisbury Steak.
I wanted to eat my TV

That's where I got my high roast chicken recipe from! Love that show. No frills or random drama. Just food.
-
yes! the high roast chicken is the bomb, especially the dijon potatoes that cook in the chicken fat :drool pretty easy too once you've tried it a couple times. Here's a recipe (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/312785) for those who might want to try. Use a kosher chicken so you can skip the brining process.
-
I guess potato wedges lol.
400 degrees for 20m on each side. Seasoned with salt and pepper, pour butter and garlic over for last 10 minutes
-
Hmm... I guess Tiramisu cupcakes, banana cream pie cupcakes, and gooey butter cake are the most requested for food days or holidays. Oh and caramel apple pie.
As far as meals, my lasagna is pretty amazing. :bow Homemade red sauce :bow Tons of cheese - ricotta, provel, mozz and parm
-
My husband just reminded me of my nutella semifreddo. :drool
I made a photobook from pictures of our first wedding anniversary trip. Instead of just including pictures, I made a cookbook of our favorite recipes we've created together. Totally in need a volume 2.
-
The only good thing I know how to make is a cheesecake (an unbaked one). Crust from butter and crushed biscuits, soft bit from cream cheese, lemon, egg whites, cream, gelatine, that sort of thing. Leave it in the fridge overnight to set.
No fruit or other girly things on top. Just cheesecake and crust. Keepin' it manly.
Edit: oh, I can make chicken parikash. It's quite easy (just watch the paprika doesn't burn), and I guess not many people know of it so it appears to be "fancy", even though it's probably hungarian peasant food or something.

Everybody's liked my curry and cinnamon spiced lamb (even people who don't like lamb!) - usually served with a mint and dill yogurt sauce and raspberry wine reduction, fried king oyster mushrooms and pao de queijo.

meringues shaped like viruses
The lamb actually looks quite nice, maybe with some hummus and pitta.

meringues shaped like viruses
They actually don't taste like meringues at all despite appearances! Very cheesy (lots of parmesan) and the texture is much more moist(spongy?) from the tapioca starch. More authentic recipes use queijo minas instead of parmesan but I'm not quite sure where to find it around here. :/
They look like this inside:

Those are the king oyster mushrooms. They look like this before slicing/cooking:

Holy fuck at that lamb... :drool
-
The mushrooms looked like egg-plants.
Anyway, I'm doing mozzarella bubbles with roast garlic air, stuffed mushrooms, and fruit salad with coconut foam. There's an awesome looking popcorn in shot glasses, that I will fixate over until I try it.
I basically obsess over food in a HUGE way. MG is a serious portal into a girls knickers, if you were single.
Also apart from tea eggs I learnt nothing of interest in the iron chef thread hosted by onkel.

You sound like you know just as much about women as you do food.
-
Your insolence is displeasing.
-
I make roast garlic air practically every time I cook :tophat

I made a brazilian cheese bread that is very much like the bread you've got there. It was amazing.
-
YES. They're awesome!
