Cooking With SkinBasket

[Zool]

If the cheese starts blowing out of the balls, remove immediately.

You had me at hello.

That is a nice plate (Japanese?) but the stuff on it looks nasty.

SkinBasket's Crusty Oily Balls




1 Bag Cheddar Cheese Curds
1 Bottle of Beer
1 egg
Corn Starch
Corn Meal
Corn Flakes
Flour
Salt
Chili Powder


Start with room temperature cheese curds. Microwaving cold curds at 50% power for 8-10 seconds works. They need to be sweaty. The sweatier the better. Just don't melt the fucking things.

Combine egg, 1 part flour, 2 parts corn starch, 2 parts corn meal, and 2 parts crushed corn flakes. Mix your favorite beer into mixture until you have a nice thick batter.

Drop your cheese in the batter and stir em around until coated.

While you heat a pan of your favored cooking oil, spoon coated curds into a separate container holding flour seasoned to taste with chili powder, salt, and pepper if you're sassy. Hell add whatever seasonings you like for all I care. Lawry's Seasoned Salt is always nice. Shake the container to coat the battered balls. Remove flour coated battered curds to a plate.

When oil is hot enough, dump the curds in and deep fry for 1 minute. If the cheese starts blowing out of the balls, remove immediately.

Serve with something to dip them in and a sprig of Parsley if your trying to impress some asshole. Eat. No one likes cold crusty oily balls. Hot balls are key.

Is this your recipe or someone elses? I would like to comment but i don't want to be harsh or lenient if this recipe is not your own. As a comedian, well former comic, I know the unwritten rule of hacking...so the question is asked?

P.S. send me more of your personal recipes, especially tenderloin broiled in the stove...I'd be willing to share personal recipes if interested.

I pretty much just make up my recipes. The stroganoff is derived from my mom's which means it probably came from a magazine 25 years ago. I was writing them down here since I don't do it anywhere else, though I'm working up the energy to make a PERL recipe program to help compile a shopping list - thus the pictures.

Feel free to comment however you want. I don't put much of my manhood behind my recipes so I won't be offended and if you make them better, I'll just take credit anyway. I'm limited by personal preference in our house in that potatoes, tomatoes, and onions are pretty much not to be used, eliminating about 90% of known recipes.

As far as tenderloin goes, we just put Lawry's on fillets and put em in the broiler. My wife likes hers raw so about a minute per side and I go about 2-3 minutes a side. Then I'll either press it into some hot butter and garlic, feta cheese, or top it with cheese and mushrooms if anything. Most of the supermarket butchers around here apparently can't cut a filet to save their lives, so I get mine from Sam's Club.

That sucks! I'd be lost if I couldn't use tomatoes and onions.

I remember my sister used to spend a longggg time chopping up onions to barely nothing so her kids couldn't see them but she'd still get the flavor in food.

We used to have a recipe thread here....maybe this can be the new one. I love trying new stuff so everyone start posting your favorite recipes!! I'm especially interested in soup recipes. I don't care for the creamy ones though.

This intrigues me, as I've started a working a similar project with a friend a few years back. Curious as if you were doing *nix perl and what GUI toolkit?

To both you and skin, there is some pretty good recipe management software out there.

I learned PERL on the job and since it's been a hobby more than anything, so I do what I do in PERL out of amusement, which is why I guess I wouldn't search for recipe software. You can't help but love how flexible a language it is. To be honest, I've used it more to experiment with an interactive, customizable adult site than I have the recipe side of things.

Pasquale, I use UltraEdit for my PERL programming and am entirely self taught, so I'm not even sure what *nix PERL is. Sorry.

[pasquale]

my apologies skin, i was making assumptions

*nix is just a way to say unix/linux since they both end in nix. Usually when I hear Perl, I think linux. Sounds like you are doing it in Windows.

I agree, I love the language, it's can be a bitch to learn. Very flexible for anyone if the user is also flexible and has lots of hair to pull out at first.

I've never written perl, but I don't understand the love of it compared to the many other quality scripting languages such as Ruby or Python, for example.

Personally, I like Java. Easy to write. Vast API. High pay rates

Maybe you don't understand it because you've never written it...

"vast API" means learning the functionality and quirks of bazillions of objects and methods. It's robotic work.

I've done some programming in .NET, similar to Java. Very steep learning curves, but "learning" only in the sense of memorizing all the roads on a map of the United States.

Not to take anything away from the power and productivity of Java or .NET. But they have wrung some of the fun and creativity out of the programming profession. Also those platforms make it infinitely easier for programming to be done overseas by low paid people.

sorry to hijack your thread skin

sorry to hijack your thread skin

Any publicity is good publicity. So everyone here thinks we're fucking dorks. Big deal.
