Challenge the overlord.

edited October 2010 in Life
So I cook for a living, I bet a few of you do too. But I consider "scrounge cooking" to be an art unto itself. Taking seemingly unusable ingredients and turning them into palateable food is culinary mastership of the highest order, true creativity is only brought out by limitation. So whats in the back of your freezer?, what's gathering dust in your cupboard?, what's a day away from growing legs and saying" hello sanchez, how was your day?" in your fridge? Tell me, and I will, with a $3 budget of items from a convenience store(or not), and the simple ingredients of: oil(or margarine), flour, salt, and pepper, tell you how to cook it into something not wonderful, but at least edible.
Sock it to me.

    In the back of my freezer, I have some beefburgers, a couple pizza's and some other crap. Cupboards have mainly pasta in, with various sauces. I've got canned tomato soup as well, some rice, and a few other things which I can't remember.
  • edited September 2010
    If you have instant rice, thaw the beefburgers, add some of the instant rice, about 1 spoonful for each burger, otherwise maybe some dry bread ends bashed to a fine powder in a bag, same ratio, add any spices you have/like, not much. Mush the living crap out if the mix in a bowl, form into a square and put it in something ovenproof. Mix a can of tomato or mushroom soup with half the reccomended water in a separate bowl and pour over the hunk O' beef. Oven for about 20 min at preheated 350 with tinfoil over it, then once it's bubbling, another 20 min uncovered.
    Funky meatloaf.
    Serve with, some kind of starchy stuff.
    Add-on's; can of drained mushrooms, diced onions, layer of sliced potato's beneath the meat.

    And how, exactly, do you intend to prove this over the internet?.

    Anyway, I sure as shit don't put myself off as a great chef, I have worked amongst this breed before and prancing around a kitchen with an ass full of turned vegetables dolloping cranberry-seaweed foam on overpriced steamed lentils might be your idea of cooking, but it's not mine.

    I cook real food, chicken stew with dumplings, stuffed roast pork loin, BBQ, I have 20 years of experience cooking for working class people and I am damn good at it, in fact I'm the fucking overlord.

    I also like to teach others to cook, and giving advice on using diverse and strange ingredients is what I hope to do in this thread. But thanks for bumping my thread troll, and giving me an excuse to bump it again. Now go microwave something your useless whore of a mother cooked for you before going out to suck dick for crack money.

    I'm old. I couldn't make it in a real restaurant and resent those that are younger faster and smarter than I. Therefore I sing the praises of american comfort food that takes little technique to produce. I feel at home in dive bars and retirement homes. I've been passed over for promotions many times due to my drinking and general disinterest in the advancements in cuisine.


    Fixed.

    OOOhhh, you are sooo my new best friend. You troll me, yet say little about your own experience or tastes, if you want to throw down open a thread in bitch and moan and name your terms. But I am trying to do something useful here so if you have any respect for the profession, and I doubt you do, just lay off this one thread, please. And thanks for bumping it again, troll.

    Wow, thats a rough one, no roadkill around?
    Hokay, aside from the obvious waffle sandwich with peanut butter and raisins inside, ummmm. This may be bending my thread rules a bit but with some brown sugar and dill... um no that would be gross, the lack of meat has me a little flummoxed, carrots and raisins go very well together if you boil the carrots a little first and then then saute them with a little butter, some beer, raisins, brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon if you have it, cook it down till the raisins plump a bit and the liquid is just enough to coat the carrots/raisins. But this is only suitable as a side dish. Add some curry and some chick peas and you have something that might be good on rice.
    Final answer, waffle sandwich, some chopped bananas and a couple of strips of bacon would make this an Elvis favorite!

    Awesome. I love egg drop soup but I looked it up and I didnt know it was that easy to make. I'll have to try this.

    Perhaps I should have taken into account the somewhat "frugal" nature of many totseans, oh well.
    Ramen, sv. chips, goldfish; gonna have to take another loss on that one.
    At least Sanchez has some protein to work with.
    Cut and fry the red pepper in a little butter on low heat until it is soft, the heat should be just high enough that you hear it sizzling, but not enough that it smokes.
    Then add the water and the little stock pouch, I like a little less in my ramen than the directions, and bring to a boil.
    Add the noodles when it is boiling, while they cook, quickly crack an egg in a small bowl and beat with a fork.
    Just as the noodles are done slowly trickle the beaten egg into the soup while slowly stirring it, the egg will come apart and cook into "shreds"
    Good add ons, stick of cut pepperoni, onions(fry with peppers), chilli garlic sauce.

    Can't hunt anything worth killing in Illinois with a rifle. Don't like using shotgun slugs. I mayyyyy break down and shoot a rabbit to make a stew this winter though.

    And yes, I know, I'm quite awesome. :) One of my favorite breakfasts is eggs over easy, sauted onions, and sauerkraut. I know how weird that sounds, I get scowls in the morning when zombie girlfriend is stumbling around. But I also love me some egg drop soup. Yum yum.

    Just got me a deer heart and liver from a bud at the bar, the liver is huge! I'm not so big on the heart, too small to stuff, I'm not really sure what I'm going to so with it. But the liver, yummm. Lightly floured thin slices fried in butter, served with sauteed wild mushrooms, bacon and onions, and maybe some pan fries. Why a deer needs a liver bigger than mine is somewhat puzzling to me, but mine would probably break your teeth.
    And indeed, salsa is a meal unto iteslf!

    Damn, does anyone have anything to eat other than ramen? You could try making some quesa fresco with the milk, if you have some vinegar that is. Just bring the milk almost to a boil and add a little salt and vinegar, the protein will separate, and you can pour the results through a clean piece of t-shirt to separate it. (I like this process because it reminds me of drug recipies). Twist the t-shirt around the resulting ball and squeeze out all the remaining moisture, the let it cool. Slice up the ball and have it with your ramen, or flour and fry it in some oil(better).
