Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

2¼ cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 cup butter (softened only SLIGHTLY)
2 eggs
2 tsps vanilla
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)


Oven temp. 300 F for 22 to 24 minutes. Makes 30
cookies approx.


Beat the butter and eggs together well, and then add
eggs, sugars and vanilla.

Beat well again until fluffy.

Then gradually add the flour and baking soda until just
blended. Lightly stir in choc chips (and nuts) with a
spoon. Place spoonfuls 2” apart on greased cookie sheet.

The very best when slightly warm!!!

Monkey Bread (Great with Game day chili)

Frozen Bread Dough
Butter
Bread pan or cake pan
Preheat oven to 375

Thaw frozen dough until easy to pull apart, not too soft though
Melt 1-3 sticks butter in a med sized bowl

Grease bread pan or cake pan (I use pam spray works great)

Pull pieces off of thawed bread dough, make them about 2 inches aprox and with a fork or very clean hands dip each piece of dough into the butter covering it very well and place into bread or cake pan. Cover the bottom of pan with bread dough very tightly.

Set pan aside, cover with *clean* kitchen towel and let rise a bit. Once it looks risen (takes about an hour or so) remove towel and put in oven for 40 minutes. (check to make sure done if not add 10 minutes)

When ready to serve dump out into bowl or onto plate. Pull apart to eat. Best when served warm, but very good cool or microwaved next day too.

* can dunk in cinnamon sugar after buttering, before placing in pan, let rise and bake for a great cinnamon bread. Great for breakfast!)

"Heaven"

- Take bottle of beer out of fridge
- Open bottle of beer*
- Drink bottle of beer

* Option: can pour bottle of beer into frosty mug and drink that way if you are a girl.

Repeat numerous times until you get sleepy or hungry, in which case then go to Taco Cabana (or Taco Bell) for food.

I thought this was my dad's secret family recipe!! How did you get it?

[GEM]

I'm headed out of Denver and over to Dog's house for dinner. :D

[Jody]

I have a G R E A T recipe for disaster, anyone interested? ;)

Dog...
That first recipe sounds like my mom's that she always invites me over to her house for. It's very good. When she serves it to company everyone raves about it! Great choice.


When I grill steaks, I enjoy grilled onions and sauteed mushrooms.

Portabella mushrooms cut up into about 1-inch or larger sizes, as they shrink in the cooking process.

Butter

Beer (one for the mushrooms to saute and one for you)

Combine mushrooms, butter, and beer in a frying pan. Drink your beer. Bring the mushrooms to a boil then turn down to low (simmer), and keep drinking your beer. While your are drinking your beer and the mushrooms are simmering, it's highly recommended not to forget your steaks are grilling!
Check on your steaks by having one beer by the grill and one beer by the stove, so you never forget where you put your beer. This is also referred to as multi-tasking. During this process, do add more beer to the mushrooms, but not the beer you're drinking, the beer designated for the mushrooms. Again, remember to check on your steaks for a nice medium rare-medium quality. When you check on your steaks, make sure there is no fire that rages out when lifting the lid to the grill, as this can burn off facial hair. Have a water bottle next to your designated grill-beer to douse any flames that may arise during the grilling process. Meanwhile, while you are checking on your steaks, do drink more beer, but do not forget you have mushrooms simmering on the stove. Close lid, set grill-beer down, and go into kitchen where your mushroom beer awaits you. Make sure this entire process does not last longer than 20-25 minutes, depending upon the cut of steak you have grilling.

MileHighWrath's Magic Margaritas

One can frozen Limeade
4 beers (Mexican beer works best but any will do)
Tequila, Cuervo Gold (Using empty limeade container measure 1/2 to 3/4 full)

Mix ingredients, salt rim of glass (optional) and pour over ice.

Makes one pitcher

:beer:

Be careful, unlike traditional margaritas, this is almost entirely alcohol, but tastes like a regular margarita and goes down way too easy.

Nice, I am always on the lookout for a good Chili recipe. I will have to give that one a try...thanks, dog.

[dogfish]

thought i'd bump this since i just made some of these. . .


Chicken Enchiladas

3 half chicken breasts
1 large onion, diced
7 cloves of garlic
8 oz cream cheese
1 ½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp chili powder
¾ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp oregano
Juice of ½ of a fresh lime
2-3 cups Colby jack cheese, shredded
12-15 corn tortillas
2 cups enchilada sauce

Splash or two of your favorite hot sauce (optional)
1 16oz can of cooked corn (optional)

Bake the chicken breasts until done all the way through, then put them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, and when they’re cold shred them finely. Heat a little olive oil in a skillet, and brown onions. Add shredded chicken and seasonings, cook about 10 minutes on low heat—then add cream cheese and cook for about 5 more minutes. Set aside to cool.

Spray or coat a skillet with a little olive oil, and cook tortillas on med-low heat for about 30 seconds per side. Put some enchilada sauce on a plate or pie pan, and rub tortillas in sauce, then fill with chicken and roll into enchiladas. Spray an 11 x 13 pyrex or ceramic pan and place enchiladas in side by side. Smother with cheese and remaining enchilada sauce, and bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes. Can also be smothered with shredded lettuce and diced tomato before serving.

I have a bunch of fish in my freezer from a fishing trip last Sept. I had to figure out something to do with it. This is my favorite recipe so far, and credit goes to some dude at sportfisherman.com:

Baked Wahoo:
Oven 400
A couple pates of butter on top of fish
A teeny bit of Minced garlic
a good splash of a light semi dry white wine like a---- oh heck what ever you have thats worth drinking-- but get 2 bottles at store (more later)
Black pepper
Sweet basil
a good swirt of fresh lemon
Cook a while and flip
repeat above
more wine
Don't over cook
If ya want a little smokyness to it, lay fish on bacon
top w/ bacon each side in oven last 1 or 2 min add some capers ( not too many)
Serve over buttered Grits--- no **** you yankees
Art Garfunkle, Rod Stewart or that long haired saxaphone player on the stereo cause you WILL get lucky tonight

Edit: I can't say I support Garfunkle, Stewart, Kenny G, or buttered Grits...but this recipe made me laugh.

[dogfish]

seems like a good day to talk about food. . . . :D


and since there's been some discussion about green chili recently, and it's come to my attention that some sad souls on here have never even tried it, i thought that i'd share the recipe that i got from my best friend's mom (she was born in CO, but is of mexican descent). . .


Green Chili

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons vegetable cooking oil (not olive oil)
2 or 3 half chicken breasts or 3 to 5 pork chops or steaks (cut into bite sized pieces and lightly salted)
1 large or 2 small cloves of garlic minced
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup of flour
5 or 6 roasted, peeled, chopped green chili peppers (not jalapenos)
1 15 oz. can of whole tomatoes (use all the juice but dice the tomato and remove hard stem)
2 or 3 cups of cold water
salt to taste

Procedure:

Heat the oil in a large pot and add the meat stirring to get the meat cooked on all sides. After the meat has cooked for about 3 minutes add the garlic and onion and continue cooking until the onion is a little soft, maybe another 3 minutes. Add the flour and work it through the meat mixture with a metal spatula for about a minute scraping the bottom of the pan as you mix. Add the chili's, half the tomato/juice, and half the water and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Continue to scrape the bottom of the pot so that the flour doesn't stick and get lumpy. After the chili comes to a boil reduce the heat add salt and let it simmer until the meat is thoroughly cooked. Add more tomato/juice and water if the chili is too thick. Add more chili if it's not spicy enough. If you need to make it hotter buy a couple of jalapenos or one habanero pepper roast, peel, chop, and add them at the end. If you use jalapenos or a habanero be very careful and only handle the peppers with rubber gloves on. They have very dangerous oils that can seriously cause you a lot of pain both on your fingers or God forbid if you get the oil in your eye or nasal membranes.

All of the measurements are approximations. The important thing is to add more of the water and tomato mixture during the cooking process if it looks too thick.

[Hawgdriver]

Ok, so I've got a freezer full of wahoo and tuna steaks from my fishing trip last September. I needed to find a super simple way to cook 'em up.

1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
spices (whatever turns you on, but 1-2 tablespoons in total is probably a good amount) I used Old Bay, but you could use anything (cayenne, dill, pepper, garlic, rosemary, etc.)

mix ^^ up

rinse fish and dredge

fry in oil on medium heat until medium golden brown

I improvised with miracle whip and dill relish for a tartar sauce, and that was tasty.

very simple, very tasty

edit: ha...didn't realize I had another fish recipe here... funny...call me fish-man

You think it's still ok even though it's been frozen for 6 months? Will I catch lycanthropy or be a host for egg-planting vermin?

We did eat a load of tuna sashimi on the boat.

Toast:

Ingredients:
1 slice bread.

Instructions:
1) Put bread into toaster.
2) Push trigger down.
3) Wait 5 minutes before realizing toaster isn't plugged in.
4) Curse.
5)Plug it in and repeat steps 1 and 2.
6) Hope that it doesn't burn. There is no determined way to tell if toast will reach correct consistency and texture. Have fire extenguisher ready if necessary.
7) Wait for bread to pop out of toaster, it should be cooked. Anywhere from light brown to brown-black color is fine.

Optional ingredients: butter, jelly, jam, preserves, assorted cheeses.

[Lonestar]

Two versions

6-8 slices of bread... or (Version 2) frozen hash brown potato's to cover baking dish
2 Cups grated sharp cheddar cheese..
1 1/2 lbs of bulk Italian sausage fried and drained
6 eggs
1 1.4 Cups of milk
3/4 teaspoon of dry mustard

***************
use this next morning

1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 Cup milk


In a 9X13 well BUTTERED glass baking dish place cubed bread (or V2 hash browns) cover with cheese.

Crumble sausage over cheese layer.

Beat eggs, milk and dry mustard together.. pour over sausage, cheese and bread/hash brown mixture..

Cover with foil and refrigerate over night.

In the morning mix soup and remaining milk together and pour over the mixture..

Bake at 300 for 90 minutes..


BTW I have also placed green chili strips over the top of the egg mixture before refrigerating..

You can substitute the frozen hash browns for the bread and not refrigerate over night and just put it together in the morning and bake..


Eat and die later from heart attack..

This is one of my favorite foods, and we often joke that it's the best thing my step-dad brought to the relationship when he married my mom... :lol:

I made it tonight, and it rocked...

Easy, quick, and your kids will love it.

Onion Ring Casserole

1 lb. ground beef
2 cups macaroni (or other pasta), cooked
2 cups of cubed or grated colby or cheddar cheese
1 can tomato soup
1 can cream of celery soup
3 oz (1 small can) French's Fried Onion Rings

Brown ground beef, cook pasta. Mix soups, meat, and pasta. Top with cheese (I always WAY over-do the cheese, but I always say you can't have enough cheese, so why not, right?)

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 min. Remove from oven, top with Onion Rings and place back in the oven for 5 min.

When you take it out, the cheese should be all bubbly and the Onion Rings should be nice and crispy and brown.

I watched Anthony Bourdain on Travel Channel this weekend. Among other things, the episode showed the authentic traditional method of preparing and cooking Warthog Anuses - apparently a delicacy in Namibia. I did not take notes, but it was pretty simple.

1) Remove the Warthog's anus
2) Throw it in a fire
3) Eat it.

There was no wine recommendation.

Yesterday my kids watched an old Survivorman (the real one, not the faker) and he was lost in the Canadian wilderness somewhere and had no food, so he went into a pond and got a water lily. He boiled (in his hat with hot rocks) the "tuber" that was at the bottom of the lily and ate it. He hadn't eaten in like 3 days, and he said it was disgusting. Then he puked it up. 2 days later he ate 2 roasted snails.

He didn't recommend a wine either. He did say he needed garlic butter though.

Was chefs apprentice just after High School, before going into the Navy.. Worked at Central Bank downtown in their executive Dining room, learned alot of techniques but did not keep up with them over the years..

I love to cook but would not want to earn a living doing it.. I still like to cook but you really need qaulity equipment and facilities to do it correctly.. Got my professional French knife back from my ex wife about 15 years after the divorce, I had forgotten about it. Have since rebuilt my "good" knives from scratch.

Cooking for one just does not make it.

wow, when i wrote gionna, i meant giada. i guess i was too busy staring at the cleavage to listen to her name!


teeth are VERY high on my list of attractive qualities when it comes to women as well, and i agree hers are pretty amazing.

i'd average it out to say that 100% of guy feet are nasty and about 90% of girl feet are nasty. every once in a while i encounter a pair of girl feet that are just cute as hell for some reason...

I agree on guy feet - totally revolting, every one ever made. I would never wear sandals in public, 'cause nobody want to see my nasty old dogs.

I'm with you, Al. My wife does pay attention to the cooking though, and we often eat what we call "Giada meals", which are kind of improvised pasta dishes w/ olive oil, garlic, shallots, peppers, minced tomatoes, chicken, sausage, or what have you (depends on what she has available). Very good fast light meals.

I'll just watch the cleavage though :D

If you need a "wow" recipe for work or a party...the cookies and the cheesecake ones will do it! :D
The corn chowder is an awesome fall main meal.

My personal agenda: Serve either of these with a fun flavored coffee like hazelnut cream or an espresso or latte.

[Davii]

Alrighty, here it is, I have used this recipe many many times with great success.

Pierogies are easy to make and are some of the best damn food you will ever have. I use two types of filling, normally Mashed potatoes, cheese and onion, however I also use a Farmer's Cheese filling when I can get it. The recipe below is for the potato filling.

Prep time: about 30-45 mins Cook time 15-20 mins

Potato Filling: Peel and boil about 2 1/2 - 3 lbs of RED potatoes until soft. While the potatoes are boiling, chop up 1 large onion and saute in butter. Mash the potatoes with the sauted onions and 1/2 lb of grated cheddar cheese, add salt, pepper, and garlic to taste. Let the filling cool.

Making the Pierogies

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup butter, softened and cut into small pieces
stick and 1/2 of butter and 3 Vidalia Sweet onions for sauteing
Fresh minced Garlic for sauteing

Dough
Mix together the flour and salt. Beat the egg, then add all at once to the flour mixture. Add the 1/2 cup sour cream and the softened butter pieces and work until the dough loses most of its stickiness (about 5-7 minutes). Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes for same day prep, or overnight; the dough can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Pierogies

Begin sauteing your butter, onions, garlic and if desired peppers (habaneros kick ass!), once butter is melted and onions start to become transparent keep on low heat until ready for sauteing of pierogies.

Roll the pierogie dough on a floured board or countertop until 1/8" thick. Cut circles of dough (2" for small pierogies and 3-3 1/2" for large pierogies) with a cookie cutter or drinking glass. Place a tablespoon of filling (for small) and a tablespoons and a half (for large) on each dough round and fold the dough over, forming a semi-circle. Press the edges together with your fingers or the edges of a fork. YOU MUST ENSURE A GOOD SEAL, water seeping in through holes in the dough or a bad seal will cause the filling to leak out during boiling. If you cant get a good seal your dough is too dry, add a small amount of water and knead into dough.

Boil (slow rolling boil) the perogies a few at a time in a large pot of water. They are done when they float to the top (about 8-10 minutes).

Add pierogies to saute pan and saute over medium heat until lightly crispy and golden brown. When all Sauteing is finished empty contents of saute mixture over pierogies.

Pierogies will be served with all the sauteed stuff with them. Sour cream can be served on the side with pierogies, personally, I like them by themselves or with a glass of white wine.

This is a delicacy from the Inca Gods! First, clean and brine the guinea pigs, cut them up into pieces, rub them with minced fresh garlic and black pepper. Then...deep fry them in coconut oil if possible. Delicious :) For the complete recipe and post visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/cookingdiva/62203219/

I made it tonight, and it rocked...

Easy, quick, and your kids will love it.

Onion Ring Casserole

1 lb. ground beef
2 cups macaroni (or other pasta), cooked
2 cups of cubed or grated colby or cheddar cheese
1 can tomato soup
1 can cream of celery soup
3 oz (1 small can) French's Fried Onion Rings

Brown ground beef, cook pasta. Mix soups, meat, and pasta. Top with cheese (I always WAY over-do the cheese, but I always say you can't have enough cheese, so why not, right?)

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 min. Remove from oven, top with Onion Rings and place back in the oven for 5 min.

When you take it out, the cheese should be all bubbly and the Onion Rings should be nice and crispy and brown.

Mmmmmmmmmmm.

:hungry:

Tried this tonight after looking for something quick and easy. MUCH better than I anticipated and my daughter loved it. This will be added into the rotation. Thanks Nurse!

Got this from my new New Mexican buddy...



Green Chili
Brown meat (pork)

Move all browned meat to one side of pan.

Use the grease from the meat to brown about 1 and 1/2 to 2 TBSP of flower (like gravy) Add additional oil to pan if necessary.

After flower is browned and thickened add about 1/2 cup to 1 cup of chopped green chile (Hatch of course) and mix together.

Slowly begin to add and stir in 1 can of Chicken Broth (or water) Chicken broth adds better flavor. Make sure not to add too much to quickly or it will be too watery. Slowly mix to allow thickening.

Add 1 TBS of fresh diced garlic.

Add Onion powder to taste

Add Garlic powder to taste

Add salt to taste.

Makes about 6 to 7 servings. Too make more, add more meat, oil, and broth. Don't forget the chile, the hotter the better.....

I slow cooked a turkey in the crock-pot yesterday.

I 6 lb. (bone in) turkey breast.
1 package onion soup mix.
1 small can (8 oz) chicken broth.

Thaw turkey, rinse, and rub down with soup mix, add chicken broth to slow cooker. (just enough to cover the bottom).
Cook on high for 1 hour, and then swithch to low heat for remaining 6-7 hours.
The turkey pulled away from the bone(s), and was delicious. The only thing easier was the clean-up.
Enjoy!!

think I would have added some veggies potato's and carrots and maybe some red onions quartered just to add some flavor to both.. fill that crock pot to the brim so to speak while your cooking get the most out of it..

Thanks for sharing your recipe

[horsesense]

You can do that, but the soup mix adds plenty of flavor. Ive never cooked red onions. Ive eaten plenty raw (on salads and such), but have heard brown, and yellow are for cooking.

the red ones cook up really nice and caramelize real well and are IMO sweeter as well as give a nice color to the plate..

all can be cooked, roasted, sautéed equally the same.. I just prefer the taste of the red one then of course there are the vidailas they are the sweetest of the group..

[horsesense]

the next steak I grill Im gonna try the red onions. Thanks for the info.

[Lonestar]

sauté them in real butter slowly,, brings out the sweetness in them..

[horsesense]

so, Ive slow cooked one of those pre packaged santa maria tri-tips for tomorrows machaca, but I added enough potatoes (sliced), and a half bag of baby carrots when i started for an extra meal or two. I took out 75% of the meat after slow cooking apprx. 8 hours. that Ive put away in a zip lock bag until Im ready for it tomorrow. The veggies and the rest of the meat can be folded/mixed together while leaving the crock pot on warm. I use these leftovers for taquitos, and tacos, and theyre awesome. Everyone loves these as appitizers. Even the little ones as they cant really taste the veggies. I cut the taquitos in half and serve'em with guacamole or use for taco meat the next day.

Worst "Healthy" Sandwich Blimpie Veggie Supreme (12") 1,106 calories
6 g fat (33 g saturated fat) 2,831 mg sodium 96 g carbohydrates
Sure, a Veggie Supreme sandwich sounds healthy, but this foot-long comes with three different kinds of cheese, and it’s drenched in oil. After Blimpie gets done with this vegetarian nightmare, you’d be better off consuming two Big Macs than sitting down with this sandwich.

Worst Kids' Meal Chili’s Pepper Pals Country-Fried Chicken Crispers with Ranch Dressing and Homestyle Fries 1,110 calories 82 g fat (15 g saturated) 1,980 mg sodium 56 g carbohydrates
Most kids, if given the choice, would live on chicken fingers for the duration of their adolescent lives. If those chicken fingers happened to come from Chili’s, it might be a shorter one. A moderately active 8-year-old boy should eat around 1,600 calories a day. This single meal plows through 75 percent of that allotment. So unless he plans to eat carrots and celery sticks for the rest of the day (and we know he doesn’t), find a healthier chicken alternative.

Worst Dessert Romano’s Macaroni Grill Dessert Ravioli 1,630 calories
74 g fat 33 g saturated fat 1,150 mg sodium 223 g carbohydrates
Would you eat a Quarter Pounder for dessert? How about four? That’s how many it takes to match the calorie-load of this decadent dish. It’s the quickest way to ruin what may have been a sensible dinner. (Then again, if dinner was at Macaroni Grill, chances are it was anything but sensible.)

Worst Burger Chili’s Smokehouse Bacon Triple-The-Cheese Big Mouth Burger with Jalapeno Ranch Dressing 2,040 calories 150 g fat (53 g saturated) 110 g protein
4,900 mg sodium
You know this burger's in trouble when it takes more than 20 syllables just to identify it. If you think the name’s a mouthful, just wait until the burger hits the table. You’ll be face-to-face with two-and-a-half days' worth of fat—a full third of which is saturated. To do that much damage with roasted sirloin, you’d have to eat about eight 6-ounce steaks. (It’s nearly three days’ worth of saturated fat.)

Worst Starter Uno Chicago Grill Pizza Skins (full order) 2,400 calories 155 g fat (50 g saturated) 3,600 mg sodium
This appetizer is like eating a Large Domino’s Hand-Tossed Sausage Pizza! Would you ever think of saying to a waiter: “Why don’t you start me off with a large meat pizza?” If you’re ordering for a party of more than five, it might be OK, but for smaller groups, it's tilting toward gluttony gone wild. Order the Thai Vegetable Pot Stickers instead—the only item carrying fewer than 800 calories.

The Worst Food of 2009 Baskin Robbins Large Chocolate Oreo Shake 2,600 calories
135 g fat (59 g saturated fat, 2.5 g trans fats) 263 g sugars1,700 mg sodium
We didn’t think anything could be worse than Baskin Robbins' 2008 bombshell, the Heath Bar Shake. After all, it had more sugar (266 grams) than 20 bowls of Froot Loops, more calories (2,310) than 11 actual Heath Bars, and more ingredients (73) than you’ll find in most chemist labs. Rather than coming to their senses and removing it from the menu, they did themselves one worse and introduced this caloric catastrophe. It’s soiled with more than a day’s worth of calories and three days worth of saturated fat, and, worst of all, usually takes less than 10 minutes to sip through a straw.

[Dreadnought]

Consisting of a bacon cheeseburger with a buttered, grilled and glazed doughnut standing in for a bun, the Craz-E Burger puts such fatty delights as the deep-fried Mars bar in the shade.

Its 1,500 calories of sugar and saturated fat did not stop it from becoming a huge hit at a major fair in Massachusetts.

Organisers of the Big E, which finished on Sunday, said visitors bought around 1,000 Craz-E burgers each day of the fair's 17-day run.

The fair's website described it as "classic fair food" but noted: "No single ingredient dominates the burger. They all complement each other with artistry expected from a celebrity chef."

It added: "The glaze smooths over the burger and oozes into a foreign but delicious combination with the crisp of the bacon."

The burger was believed to have been created by a bar owner in Decatur, Georgia, who substituted a doughnuts when he ran out of buns.

The restaurant also serves a hamdog, a hotdog wrapped in a beef patty and deep-fried.

The Decatur doughnut burger was named the Luther Burger after the singer and record producer Luther Vandross, who is said to be a fan.

The Gateway Grizzlies, a minor league baseball team in Illinois, serves the Luther burger at games, piling on further coronary heartache by deep-frying the Krispy Kreme doughnut used as the bun.

there amazing i tell you sorry its kinda sloppy ill try to get exact stuff this week

[Dreadnought]

With my wife being very sick since last weekend, I have had charge of the kitchen and related stuff since Saturday. Out of this I present Dreadnought Schnitzel, a dinner of my own invention and of which I am mighty proud

Take boneless pork chops or pork tenderloin. Pound Hell out of them until they are really thin, like maybe 1/16". Dip in egg, flour, and fry in olive oil, sprinkiling a good bit of paprika on them as they fry. While these are frying do up the sauce.

The sauce is prepared as follows.

1/4 cup light cream
1 large onion
1 Hungarian wax pepper
1/2 cup white wine
Hungarian paprika
white pepper
a couple of cloves of garlic
a bit of butter
salt

Chop up and sautee the garlic, onion and pepper in the white wine and butter. Once these are pretty well cooked stir in the cream and season with white pepper, salt, and paprika to taste. Serve the whole mess on top of egg noodles. I accompanied it with white wine from a box. Its actually pretty easy and fairly cheap but it looks like a complicated fancy meal. I earned major points for this one
