CUI (Cooking under the influence)

[stopp700]

Tell us about your best CUI dish:

Mine is Leftovers with refried beans, a small hapanaro pepper and a few beers.....

CUI can be done with anything. Best created when the wife/GF is not around.

Cheese Dip.

Brown 1 pound of Jimmy Dean Sausage (regular flavor).
Cut one box of Velveeta into 1 inch squares give or take.
Put sausage and cheese into a microwavable casserole dish with a lid.
Add one can or two of Rotel Tomatoes.

Nuke the stuff for no more than 2 minutes at a time. Remove from microwave and stir. Repeat the nuke process until the whole mess is melted and creamy.

Total time is ten minutes or another beer.

Use whatever kind of chips or pretzels you like and scoop some up. Even "Normal" people like this.

NOTE: Do not nuke for too long at one time or the Velveeta will get burnt and the whole thing will be F'ed up.

So much for an intro......

I'm a big fan of egg dishes.
Typically, something like this:

In a frying pan, heat your oil or butter.
dice up some onions, jalapeno's, lunch meat if you have any, throw these in the pan once it's hot.
Scramble 3ish eggs and throw them in the pan..season with salt, pepper, franks and maybe some hot sauce if you have any that doesn't suck.
The hot sauce usually goes in once the eggs start to firm up. Once they're done to your liking (I like mine scrambled hard) put them on a plate and add grated cheese.

I also make a variation on this with an "bird in a nest" approach. Same shit, just put it in a piece of bread with a hole in the middle.

here is another favorite....
Back in the day some of the PLT lived in Stellicom (the Red Safe House on the Hill). No one ever had money for food on the weekends. I got nominated as head chef...

Take one 5 gal pot, partially filled with water, boil.
add 5 boxes of mac and cheese. cook till done.
Add:
Whatever
C-Rats (for you young one) canned rations
LRRPs (freeze dried rats)
2 cans of green beans
2 cans of corn
Hot sauce
and anything leftover from the night before.
It goes very well with
Rainer Beer (mass quanities)
Easy NIght/Mellow Days Wine (Kelly's favorite)
Boones Farm Wine (cullihan's favorite)

worse part of this reciepe is the cleanup.

Why would I need to cook? I am married.

Why would I need to cook? I am married.

I once thought that way. Be careful.

CUI Blunder :)

A while back I decided to spice up some mild Chorizo. I found Chipotles in Adobo Sauce at the store. After several beers I decided to start cooking. I tasted the Adobo sauce and decided it was mild and proceeded to dump half of the can into the frying sausage. The first burrito was fine, the second a little hot, a few bites out of the third and I was panicking. WTF ? After about 3 beers and twenty minutes I could breath normally again. Apparently, heating the sauce made it spicier.....

Heating spice can/will release them more and make more pungent. A trick when adding cayenne or other powdered spices to a dish is to put it in your palm and then rub your hands together over the dish, letting the powder go into the dish. The heat and friction created from rubbing it between your palms release the flavor out of the spices more.
