Because sometimes, ham sandwiches are just not enough.

The dissapointment

Emanuel Cunha — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 21:03:46 +0000

Oh well, sorry to disappoint my readers, especially those who actually use this blog to cook [and to whom I had promised a new post in the last week, yes, exactly, you! (: ] but video editing is harder than I thought, and work has been killing + stressing me a lot.

I will try to have it ready by the end of this week, but no promises whatsoever.

Wish me luck…

(first of all, as a request from lots and lots of families, I hereby RESTART the posting on this lame blog!)

10.17€ (or 16.95 if you can’t find one with 40% discount like I did ^^), 4.62€ and a good /beg to your mom/dad for a coffeemaker, and tho shall have found the perfect american breakfast, expensive-free!, and as long as your full morning!

Just spend the first sum on a Starbucks coffee tumbler, and the second on a programmable power plug (so your coffee starts all by himself, and you can sleep an extra 20 minutes). It is granted that you will save useless time sitting on the table for the breakfast, and some money while still getting some hot coffee!

Here are some pics of my best morning friends:

BIIIG news

Ok, for all that thought this wonderful and preshious idea had gone “flushed away”, here comes the good (and boring) news: IT HASN’T!
Thing is, I’m struggling to give a visual and audio support to this website.

I’ve been analysing. and re-thinking. and doing it again. and then, thinking like an outsider. and the website is kinda boring this way. So unless I don’t wanna get not just more viewers, but also make this USEFUL for the ones I already got, I need to change. So the idea is… Start some video pod-casts, with an audio good enough for people to be cooking in real-time while listening to it (or viewing if they want to check something).

So ’till I get that said visual support, things are in a kinda “standby” situation. Farewell for now, and don’t forget the damn salt!

Bacon, sausages, and lotsa love (best sandwich evah!!one!11eleven!)

So here we go, on this great recipe on how to get a damn tasty sandwich without paying that OMFGWTFKTHXBBQ price we usually get on normal fast-food stuff. And best part… It’s even MORE SIMPLE (since you don’t need to leave home)!! Remember you can multiply all the ingredients so you get a “storage” for more sandwiches, and some of them will come (obviously) on packs so try to buy it all in quantities for a fixed number. For this particular recipe, you don’t need to buy high quality products, as they will taste the same in the end, so go cheap on it!

1 breadstick around 30 cm long (it is highly recommended that you buy pre-cooked bread, that still needs to go to the oven; it lasts longer and you will be eating a cooked-in-the-minute bread), 1 pack of bacon strips, 1 can of sausages, 1 tomato, 1 lettuce, a can of sweet corn, 1 pack of chips (optional; leftovers will do too) and sauce at disposal (recommend ONLY ketchup).

1st min: Start by turning on your oven to 200ºC (between medium and max). Leave in the oven it’s cooking grid and it’s cooking metal plate (unless you don’t mind drops of fat rolling on your oven). While it is warming up, put 2 bacon strips and 3 sausages (sliced long) in the grid, along with the bread (if uncooked). Close the oven, and move to the balcony. Cut tomato in slices (as you like) or in pieces or whatever. Wash the lettuce (2 leafs will do).

10th min: Open oven, cut bread in half (do NOT cut it too deep, if both top and bottom of it get separated, you will have serious troubles on eating it, and might get mad enough to throw everything to your computer/window/mother), re-introduce bread, close oven.

12th min: Turn oven off. Place lettuce on the bread, fully covering it. Than place tomato. Than the sausages. Than the sauce. Than the chips. Than the corn. Than the bacon.

Now, it’s normal that you can’t close your sandwich, it’s supposed to be eaten progressively in 2 bites, and not one. Leave the opening of the bread to the top, and don’t worry about the bacon falling down, at least it’s easy to grab back to the sandwich.

Now don’t dare saying it isn’t simple, or delicious, or cheap. Hmmm oh well you can dare actually. Enjoy it.

[side note: since it requires pieces of allot of ingredients I'd recommend inviting someone over to eat with you, or making a simple salad to go with it (just join some lettuce leafs, corn and tomato)]

Fked up cookin’…

Well, after beating the World of Warcraft obstacle (account frozen ‘^^), the lazy spirit, the classes and well, basically all that could stop me, I came back for the big pans and ovens, to find out that sometimes, your imagination ain’t enough. For the first time I had a messed-up experience, that had a pretty bad result. So… Still no recipe.

Tomorrow… Maybe some old thoughts will come back to my hands, and I’ll start working… For now… Frozen pizza,… again.

Don’t loose your hope, this blog is far from terminated.

Pasted codfish (ctrl-v?)

Emanuel Cunha — Sat, 26 May 2007 00:47:36 +0000

Here it goes, a recipe for 2 meals (and some leftover for dinner ^^):

A wooden spoon, a pan for cooking the pasta, another one for the codfish, a frying pan and some music to inspire you (: [recommended: Type o Negative - (We Were) Electrocute].

1/4 pasta pack (curly as obvious…).

100g of already steeped codfish (in case it ain’t previously steeped, keep in water for 2 days in the refrigerator).

4 eggs.

1 tomato.

1 chorizo (if you don’t know what it is, than you have no idea on what you’ve been loosing).

1st min: Start boiling half pan of water, with olive oil covering the base of the pan and a tea spoon of bay salt.

8th min: Every thing’s boiling, so join in the codfish on one of the pan’s, and the pasta on the other one. Set the fire to the minimum on the pasta and medium on the codfish. Cover the pans but not fully, leave it open 3 fingers wide.

33th min: Spill 1 tea spoon of olive oil over the frying pan, let it warm up for some 30 seconds, and then spill the 4 eggs. As they fry, scramble them using your wooden spoon. Take it out of the fire the minute there’s no liquid egg.

35th min: Every thing’s set. Grab it all out, mix it up, join the tomato cut in really small parts (1cm diameter), as the chorizo.

And there you go. It tastes great, looks great, and it’s damn simple (no great calories included ^^). The hardest part is on understanding if your codfish is fully cooked or not, but the times said above should be more than enough. And that’s all, have a nice meal, and… Well… This one is dedicated to our dear Filipa Gouveia, for obvious reasons, right Killercod? xD

OMG….OMFG!!

Sometimes, to chill out, I hang over a friend’s place, a friend that we don’t want to make “look bad”, so we’ll call “Thrustmaster” (a completely random name, obviously ^^). Now… This friend has a dark tendency to completely ignore what goes around the whole house, EXCEPT the little centimeters of his keyboard, monitor, and let’s say, mouse pad. “The results!”, you might ask…. Here they are:

Some beef steak…

Pasta…

Sliced cheese (or fungus culture…?)…

And pizza!

Christ… Don’t try this at your home! Guess I don’t need to feel so frustrated now, for not having harvested any bacterias on my lab cultures… These fungus make it up for a thousand cultures! Yikes! Obvious to state that I spent the next hour and half cleaning up the whole mess, witch include around 8 pizza boxes, and some 14 coke cans. And after that… We had a nice decent (in a clean kitchen) meal! (:

EDITED: New updates on fungus/bacteria cultures:

Another *cough* cheese piece…

And delicious pineapple!

Guinea Pig still needed!!!!!!!!!!!!
