I repeat: Girl Scouts Cookies Cereal. I am astounded that nobody’s ever made stuff like this before. You’d think that it’d be a no-brainer, right?
Although you will not actually get miniature Samoas and Thin Mints in your bowl, probably because they won’t mix properly with milk. Well. You know what I mean.
I got the white beans, I got the salt pork, I got the onions, I got the brown sugar and/or molasses, and I’m pretty sure that I got the tomato paste. What I don’t got is a good recipe. My family was not a beans family. If we needed some, well, there were plenty of companies making them already. Shoot, I wouldn’t be doing it now except that we have a bunch of salt pork left over from dinner today and it’s got to go into something.
So, feel free to chime in. BBQ is always on the agenda, of course. But too-elaborate is probably not the best call, here.
Basically, you take a Yorkshire pudding, roll it flat, and then wrap the roast beef of Old England inside of it. Gravy on the side. …This is a cruel concept for anybody trying to watch his diet. Which I am unfortunately finding it more and more necessary to do, these days. Why could nobody have suggested that I learn to fry up a bread with meat fat when I was, say, 25? I had the metabolism for such things back then!

Sorry.

PS: I probably will try the meatless pudding, at that (using butter for the fat). It seems reasonably easy enough to make, and I have all the ingredients close to hand. Flour, milk, eggs and butter, essentially.
This got made Thursday night and the leftovers were just as good Friday night. I was pleased. So was my wife.

This is, frankly, kind of awesome. Also, kind of annoying. The odds that my local Scotsman’s is going to have a supply of this stuff to hand out is frankly nil.

Background: I saw this recipe on Facebook for an ice cream pound cake, and said Hey! I could make that. So I did, based on what I remembered from the video. Because sometimes you have to live a little, people. …Also, I couldn’t remember at the time precisely where I saw it, or who made the video (I did, later).
Here’s the video, for contrast. The Pioneer Woman’s Ice Cream Layer Cake:
So. Let’s get dangerous*. Continue reading Recipe Alert: Uncle Moe tries to make Ice Cream Layer Cake.
Between the steak nachos, and the lime-cilantro chicken thighs, and of course the porterhouse that I had for lunch, I am feeling sloooooooooow this evening. I regret nothing, of course. I also suspect that I’ll be eating a lot of salad for the next two days, because I’m not twenty five anymore, huh?
Oh, wait, crud, the pork chops need cooking by tomorrow or Thursday. I need to come up with a suitable way to cook those. Broiling is getting boring…
Looks kind of funky, smokes up the house something fierce, my wife’s SCA class loved it.
The smoking thing is a definite problem, though. Enough of one that I abandoned any thought of making this a gaming dish… which is a shame, because skirt steak + potatoes + paprika + cheese + salsa + sour cream = delicious and two-thirds gone already. This may actually be something where you’d want to cook the meat on the grill, then take it inside to be cut up and tossed in the broiler…
Just got the seed-cake (this time with orange and poppy, instead of lemon and caraway) in the oven. Dinner tonight is Cilantro-Lime Chicken. My wife is also having people over tonight, so we’re gonna try that Steak and Potato Nachos thing, as well. Should be interesting.
Yes, yes, yes:
(Via Facebook) Oh sweet merciful God I have to stop myself from running out to the store RIGHT NOW to make this*. This is like what the Illuminati make when they make nachos. I could very possibly eat everything in that skillet, and then regret it for the rest of the night, only not really because STEAK AND POTATO NACHOS.
I think I know what my gaming group is eating this weekend.

*And, bear in mind: I’ve got a plate full of Orange Black Beans with Cumin that my wife made last night and is still absolutely delicious despite the fact that it’s cold. Seriously, this stuff over rice is off the hook. And I still want to chase it with the contents of that skillet.
