Oh, but I listed dessert: leche flan and cassava cake. See post 35. Now that I am very hungry, and this thread has only made me hungrier, I am going off to find food.

Tequila Cookies

  • 1c (2 sticks) butter
  • 1c of granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2c of dried fruit, such as dried cranberries or raisins
  • 1tsp salt
  • 1tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1c coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 2c all-purpose flour

Instructions

Take a large bowl, sample the Cuervo to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Turn on the electric mixer... beat one cup of butter in a large bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again.

At this point it's best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK, try another cup, just in case.

Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the frigging fruit off floor...Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the etrrs, just pry it loose with a drewscriver.

Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.

Next, sift two cups of salt, or something.

Check the Jose Cuervo.

Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a schpoon of sugar, or somefink... whatever you can find. Grease the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window,

FINISH the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.

I was going to say...watch some tv. I have trouble sleeping at night and find all kinds of neat stuff on . I just have to remember to close my eyes as I scroll by channel 14... but anyway, yesterday there was a Los Vegas Chef on. I know my husband wouldn't even try it but I watched them prepare a Salmon with cream cheese. It looked really good.

The best thing I have tasted lately though was a broccoli salad my sister made. She added grapes, pecans, mayonnaise, cream cheese, some red stuff you spray on salads and honey and let it soak. I usually don't care for "trees" but I had seconds.

I love making soup.

This one is rather labor intensive, but it's delicious and everyone (kids and adults) love it.

Serve with salad and crusty french bread...yum!

The recipe books that I have do not have very insight that our wonderful FReepers have.

Try roasting a chicken instead of frying it.

I'll make you a bargain if you like.

I'll trade a roast chicken recipe for a sample of your fried chicken.

Either way, I come out the winner.

LOL.

Here the recipe:

Lurkers Roast Chicken

I whole broiler/fryer chicken. (Do not cut it up)

1 stick butter, softened
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp dried thyme
4 or 5 fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil (not extra virgin)

1/2 lemon, sliced into quarters.

Place softened butter into small mixing bowl and add the above ingredients except the lemon. Stir with a fork until blended. Set aside. Do not allow butter to melt, but don't let it get completely firm either. Scoop mixture into sandwich size ziplock bag.

Wash chicken. Gently slide your fingers under the skin covering the breast of the bird and separate it from the meat. Cut a small piece of one corner off the sandwich baggy with a pair of scissors and use that to pipe the butter mixture underneath the breast skin of the chicken. Make sure you get the flavored butter evenly distributed.

Now rub the outside of the chicken with the olive oil. Season the chicken with kosker salt and freshly ground black pepper liberally.

Place the lemon wedges into the cavity of the bird.

Now roast that bird in either a 350 degree oven or in a covered BBQ kettle (indirect heat) until done, about 50 to 60 minutes or until the breast meat reaches 160 degrees.

Let me know if this is the sort of thing you were looking for.

L
