My aptly named Saturday night menu. In fact, it got so hot here that I couldn't even discuss it until now. :)

Shrimp, crawfish, blue crabs, mock andouille (Hot Links are kinda close, believe it or not), corn, red potatoes, artichokes, asparagus, celery, and green onions.

****tail sauce, with ketchup, horseradish, brown mustard, tabasco, worcestershire sauce, and vinegar. Quite hot. :thumbsup:

Jalapeno cheddar cheese rolls. Also kind of hot, according to some folks I work with.


As always, I enjoyed cooking this much more than I did eating it. Not that it didn't taste good. I'm just not a real huge fan of seafood that isn't breaded and fried. Pretty unadvanced palate for an aspiring restauranteer, I realize. :eek:

Plus, I spent the three hours prior to the pre-race show busting my hump slapping this stuff together, including making the dough. Five Zimas and 500 laps later, most of the food was still sitting on my plate.

Some folks might call me crazy, and they'd be right. But I also just love to cook! Wish I could have shared this grub with some of you. :)
 
I wish you could have shared that with me..........that plate looks delisious!! Damn, I'm hungry!!:D
 
thats a lot of food............AND IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD..........
GOOD JOB ABBOOJA................
:D
 
Thanks, guys. :)

Here's what it looked like in the pot.

Hmmm, almost seems like I spent all that money and did all that work just to take some pretty pictures and show you all.

Group hug, everyone...
 
Hey, wait a minute!!!

Cutiepie, did DE mean that you used to be a professional chef?!! I guess that would explain all the cookbooks and kitchen stuff. Awesome! :thumbsup:
 
Abooja, you never cease to amaze me with your choice of foods.:) That looks delicious.:chef:
 
I'm something of an amateur hash slinger myself. Nothing quite that elaborate though. I do make the best stuffed peppers known to mankind though!
 
Thanks, B.C.

Hey, you like to cook too, TWF? Cool! We should talk about cooking some more, then... :thumbsup:

I'd post some recipes, but don't think they're necessarily anything you couldn't find anywhere else. Besides, I'd also like to publish a cookbook someday, and if I shared them, I'd have to kill you all. :) :blink: :jumping:
 
I love to cook. Unfortunately I have a very finicky palate, so I stick to the basics and just modify them to suit my tastes. I have learned a trick or three in my time behind a wooden spoon though.
 
Trust me, it was plenty hot, Tabasco! I'm pretty tolerant to heat, but I'm sure you've got me beat in that department. :D

TWF: I'm extremely finicky myself. I cooked all that crap, and hardly ate any of it. In fact, I decided to skip the leftovers again this evening. If they weren't so hot, I'd give them to some animal.

Good idea -- I'll bring them to work tomorrow!
 
Where do you find crawfish in NYC this time of year? They are out of season.
 
They weren't live, unfortunately. But they were "sorta fresh", I guess you could say.

Got em in Chinatown, where most of the best fish can be found in NYC. Good and cheap, that is. You can get great shrimp for around $6 a pound, whereas I'd pay nearly twice that price in my local fish store. New York is a major ripoff city. :mad:
 
They came from China. La. is fighting with China over the price of crawfish. The ones from China are smaller and a whole lot cheaper.
 
Yikes, did I cause an international incident?!

Lord knows, I'd take the side of the Cajuns over the Chi-Coms any day. ;) :p
 
Yep we may have to send the crawfish patrol up there.:D Are you sure you don't have any southern blood in ya? You don't cook or eat like most Yankees.
 
I don't have any southern anything in me...anymore. :D :xxrotf:

Sorry, that was crude...and inexcusable. :headshake

I guess I just pick things up more easily than most. I love the country. I love the south. I just happen to be from Brooklyn. :)
 
If everyone was born in the South then there wouldn't be any Yankees!! Just Rednecks and Canadians.........and how much fun would that be?

Chinese crawdads? Hmmmmm.......bet I'd still eat them!!:)
 
Rednecks would have the advantage......you can't knock out teeth that aren't there.:D
