Any of you cook? It's recipe time! (no pictures included, sorry)

Curry Chicken and Potatoes:
2 lb chicken drumsticks or wings
2 big ass potatoes or 4-8 small ones (about equal amounts to the chicken)
1/2 onion
1 lemongrass stalk
1 can coconut milk
2 tbsp curry powder
1 tbsp chili powder (or to taste)
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
water

Preparation:
Mix curry powder, chili, salt, and enough water to dissolve it all into a paste. Chop the lemongrass into 3 cm pieces and smash to release the flavor. Cut the potato(es) into pieces ~3 cm in diameter. Cut the onion into strips.

Cook:
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pot. When hot, add onion, curry paste, lemongrass. Fry at low heat until you can smell it and the curry darkens. Add the chicken, and fry it on medium heat for 8 minutes or so. Add coconut milk, and an equivalent half can of water. Heat to a boil, then simmer for 30 min, until the chicken has stopped bleeding (and is thus cooked). If you want potatoes mushy, add them after 15 min, or if you want them firm, add them after the chicken finishes bleeding and simmer until the potatoes have reached the desired level of cooked-ness.

Can of Whoop Ass

1 Can
2 Tbsp Anger
1 lb Ass
2 lb Whoop
2 tsp grudge

This is a very simple dish to make. First, mix the grudge and anger together to make something called UBER anger. It should like look a man holding his fist in contempt, or an inmate finding out he has cancer. Next, combine 1 lb of whoop together with 1 lb of ass. Wait 15 minutes after adding the first part of whoop, then add the remaining last lb of whoop so that you get double the whoop to ass ratio. Next, combine the mixture of Uber Anger and the whoop ass inside the can. Remember to shake well before opening.

Guess I wasn't trying hard enough >_>.

It's not that I can't cook, but it's that I don't feel like going on the Internet to find a recipe to show how well I can cook. Although, my specialty is Pate a Choux, maybe it's because it's the first thing I learned from my baking class back in High School.

But alright, I'll comply here. This is my recipe for an angel food cake.

1 cup cake flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup sugar
11 large egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vanilla Glaze
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons water -- up to 3 tsp.

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 10 cup pan. Resift the cake flour five times with the cocoa powder and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Using 1/4 of the egg whites at a time, whip all the whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar when all 11 egg whites are foamy. Continue to whip the egg whites, adding 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir the vanilla extract and chocolate flavor into the beaten egg whites. Sift 1/4 of the flour mixture into the batter and fold gently. Repeat until finished with the flour. Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan. Gently move a knife through the batter to remove air pockets. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Invert pan and et cool for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from pan and drizzle with vanilla glaze.

Ooh, baking, sounds good.

Pineapple Tarts (a combination of online recipes and some experimentation):
2 1/2 cup Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
24 tbsp Butter
1 1/2 tsp Salt
70 g Sugar
3 Egg Yolks (more for glaze)
Pineapple Jam

I like making this for CNY. My relatives in Singapore always send a package of them over for us <3.

Jam:
The pineapple jam I buy from Vons is too wet, so I usually simmer it for a long time on very low heat so it thickens up. Ideally, it should almost be a paste. I tried making my own jam, but I misread the recipe, and cooked it on high heat, so the whole thing dried up. It was pretty gross. If you'd like the recipe, it's here: http://jodelibakery.netfirms.com/SAE...pple_tarts.htm

Mixing:
Mix the flour and salt into a bowl, then chop in butter. And yeah, that means, taking a butter knife and chopping the butter into the dough. Rub the butter in until it's crumbly. Add egg yolks, then knead until you have dough. Flatten it out with a rolling pin and cut into circles (usually a diameter about 2.5 cm is about right). If you want to add any fancy schmancy patterns, now's the time. Add the pineapple jam over the circle. Glaze by brushing on some egg yolk.

Baking:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Bake the tarts for 15 min. You can bake them a little longer (20 min) if you want them more crunchy.

One of my personal favorites. I know, its a bit work intensive, but my ex-girlfriend and I like to make bread and pastries, so we like to try different recipes.

Rosemary Semolina Bread

1 3/4 cups warm water (105&#176;F to 115&#176;F), divided
1 tablespoon active dry yeast (measured from 2 envelopes)
2 1/4 cups (about) unbleached all purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
2 1/2 cups semolina flour (pasta flour)*
2 teaspoons fine-grained sea salt
Additional semolina flour
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, divided

1 teaspoon coarse-grained sea salt

Place 1 1/4 cups warm water in medium bowl; sprinkle yeast over and stir to blend. Let stand 5 minutes to soften. Whisk to dissolve yeast. Add 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour; whisk until smooth. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let stand at room temperature about 45 minutes.

Whisk remaining 1/2 cup warm water, olive oil, and rosemary in large bowl to blend. Using rubber spatula, mix in semolina flour and 2 teaspoons fine-grained sea salt (dough will be very dry). Stir in yeast mixture. Work in 3/4 cup all purpose flour. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth, adding more all purpose flour by tablespoonfuls if sticky. Let rest 5 minutes. Knead about 8 minutes.

Lightly oil large bowl. Transfer dough to bowl; turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Transfer dough to lightly floured surface. Create two rounds. Like, small circles.

Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle sheet with additional semolina flour (cornmeal also works too ^ ^). Transfer dough ring to prepared sheet, reshaping as necessary to form smooth circle. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds, pressing lightly to adhere. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let bread rise at room temperature about 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400&#176;F. Remove plastic wrap from bread. Using sharp knife, cut 1/4-inch-deep slit all the way around top of loaf. Spray bread lightly with water. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds and 1 teaspoon coarse-grained salt. Transfer to oven. Bake bread 15 minutes, spraying lightly with water every 5 minutes. Continue to bake without spraying until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, about 30 minutes longer. Transfer bread to rack and cool completely.

Voila!!! Delicious!
