The only recipe I know I got from the anarchists' cookbook. Roll the skins (not shells) of a fistful of peanuts, light, then smoke. Never tried it, but, if anyone does, let me know how that works out for you.

good for you turkey chili:

brown 1 package ground turkey with 1 medium onion & some mushrooms (how ever many you like) you can also add green peppers, but personally i don't like those. use a little olive oil if you want.

add
2 cans of beans (whatever kind you like - i use kidney beans)
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1 large can chopped tomatoes

add chili powder to taste (i end up using 4+ tablespoons) and salt/pepper

simmer for 20 minutes.

when done, top it off with some cheese.

quick to make & serves 5 people. or you can freeze it & eat it for lunch everyday :)

we didn't smoke the skins of peanuts but we did sample the delights of the Rivita Shakes.

Get one Rivita - http://www.wisechoiceuk.com/details.asp?prodid=200387&cat=43&path=43
Place in a dry place for two days.
Ingest the mould that grows on the surface.

Wait for 30 second spasmodic shakes.

Not recommended.

my staples, you might call them recipes:

nacho cheese doritos dunked in cottage cheese

espresso with "very vanilla" soy milk

scrambled eggs with gr. peppers, onions, cheese in tortilla with Mrs. Renfro's green sauce (hot).

tea, not black but any other is OK, and cranberry juice (red or white) - mix in equal parts or to taste.

speghetti sandwich - butter one slice of toast, put speghetti and sauce in toast and fold over to make half sandwich. I don't eat speghetti any other way.

relatively simple indian lentil curry (known as dal):

1 brown onion chopped into small pieces
2 small or 1 large tomato finely cut
1 garlic clove, finely chopped or garlic paste
1 cup of lentil pressure-cooked or boiled until cooked on fire
mustard seeds
some cilantro leaves
2tsp oil
half green chill pepper


heat up the oil and throw the mustard seeds+garlic in it till they get roasted and start 'jumping'. add the chopped onion and fry till the onions get brown. now add the tomatos, reduce the fire to medium and cover the pan for a minute, in which the tomatoes will become soft.
Add the cooked lentils and the chilli peppers (more if you want spicy, less if you want less spicy). keep stirring for 3-4 minutes add salt to taste, and stir real well to that the salt gets mixed properly.
if the lentils are soft enough, turn off the fire, throw in the cilantro leaves, chopped if possible and cover the pan for a good 5-10 minutes before serving.
quite simple, extremely healthy and full of protein!

(more complex indian recipies for later !)

Abracadabra, I am trying your 'son of a dog' thing right now.
it's great, especially with yogurt cucumber salad on a side.

mediteranean cucumber and yogurt salad:

chop the cucumber(s) finely, mix with one crushed garlic clove, 1 or 2 cups of yogurt, one spoon of sour cream, salt, and lemon juice.
Add a few leaves of fresh mint, chopped.
great for dips or side dishes.

Tandoori Chicken

8 chicken legs (drumsticks?)
Plain Yogurt (for marinade)-lowfat works if you prefer that
1.5 tbsp. Red chilli powder (less if you can't handle spice!)
1.5 tsp. Garam Masala (available at some supermarkets) or Curry powder will do
salt to taste
1 tbsp Garlic and Ginger paste

Mix yogurt (enough to drench all the chicken) with the remaining ingredients. marinate chicken in the yogurt mixture for 3-5 hrs (OR I usually refrigerate for abt 5 hrs)
post marination, grill in oven/ barbeque till chicken is done.

squeeze on some lemon and serve with indian style green chutney and freshly chopped red onions.

Spicy Shrimp Pasta

SAUCE:
4 roma tomatoes
~8 oz. cherry tomatoes
2 oz. cooking wine
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp chili paste (siracha works fine, though i prefer others)
1 tbsp basalmic vinegar
1 tsp sea salt
fresh ground pepper to taste

combine above (sauce ingredients) in med. saucepan and bring to soft boil. stir occasionally until cherry tomatoes are popped. (if everything is getting soft already, pop them with a little pressure from a wooden spoon or spatula)

1 lbs. fresh unfrozen peeled shrimp
2 tbsp chili pepper
1 tbsp lemon zest
juice from 1/2 a lemon (don't need all, just enough for flavor)
salt & fresh ground pepper to taste
4 cloves fresh minced/crushed garlic
handful of fresh chopped basil
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Combine above in skillet EXCEPT shrimp and fry in olive oil until basil leaves are soft. then add shrimp and fry until shrimp is pink and crisp. do NOT overcook.

Combine shrimp and sauce, and serve over linguine or other favorite pasta.

I like to pair the dish with a viognier. Very tasty and summery.

Option: serve cold in the summer and add a little more chili paste to give it more kick for contrast.
