SOLDIER BOY SINWICH

The man in the black pajamas makes a mean sandwich. Don't flavor with napalm!

The man in the black pajamas makes a mean sandwich. Don't flavor with napalm!

“You want boom boom?” asked two Vietnamese hookers on a moped. I was in Hanoi, trekking around in search of mayhem and kick ass pho (Vietnamese noodle soup). I don’t pay for sex. No offense to those who hire whore now and again. My charm and cooking skills are enough to get girls naked. But these two young trollops were hot and the mathematical possibilities enticing it. So I asked them, “Will you love me long time?” They nodded and beckoned me to get on the back of their motorbike. So I countered, “Are you so horny?” Damn straight they were. The cherry on top was when I asked them to call me “Soldier boy.” One said, “We give you boom boom, soldier boy.” The other added, “Me so horny. We love you long time.” I had a Full Metal Jacket growth in my pants, but contracting GI Joe Kung Fu grip wasn’t recommended in my Lonely Planet guide. So I declined their offer for boom boom. Instead I got this chicken sandwich from a street vendor that was amazing, although not quite as interesting as the international incident I passed up. To all the girls I have banged since…You’re Welcome!

BREAKFAST SALAD SINWICH REMIX

August 27, 2009
Cook To Bang is coming at you with the breakfast re-re-re-re-re-remix!

Cook To Bang is coming at you with the breakfast re-re-re-re-re-remix!

A good COOK TO BANG groove deserves to be remixed. In the age of recycling chic, why wouldn’t you turn one outstanding meal into another equally memorable meal? Think of this thriftiness the way you would an old lover who used to be an overweight hippie harlot and now is a svelte yummy yuppie. Sure there is some familiarity when you bang them again, but for the most part it’s like banging someone completely fresh and new. Salad is like a condom; it doesn’t keep long after it’s been opened. So you need to be fast with reconfiguring the leftovers before they become a pathetic pile of wilted goop. Breakfast seems the most appropriate and expedited opportunity for you to bring leftover salad back to life like Frankenstein’s monster. Mix it up with bagel, eggs and sauce and IT’S ALIVE!!!

BLONDIE BONDAGE SUNDAE

August 24, 2009
Blondes jokes just aren't appropriate.  S&M is no laughing matter.  Right, mistress?

Blonde jokes just aren't appropriate. S&M is no laughing matter. Right, mistress?

My relationship with desserts is very S&M. To be more accurate, sweets are my dominatrix. I abstain from crack, but have come pretty close to rock bottom. Picture me curled up in a ball on my kitchen floor at 10am on a Tuesday eating cake frosting with a butter knife. It wasn’t pretty. But you should have seen the intervention. We’re talking powder sugar flying by the kilo. And yet my sweet tooth remains a glutton for punishment. Pleasure delaying is part of the torture. I try to be good and eat healthy enough to see next year. But then I allow myself to partake and it’s an embarrassing sight. The mistress of munchies takes over and my humiliation takes center stage. Ladies and gentlemen, behold the sugar-addicted freak that dances for blondies. That blondie demon whore hurts so good.

Total time: approximately 4 minutes

Projected cost: $8

Drinking Buddy: Champagne and strawberries

blondie sundae prepIngredients (serves 2):

1. 2 tbsp butterscotch sauce

2. 1 maraschino cherry

3. Whipped cream at your discretion

4. 1-2 scoops vanilla ice cream

5. 1 small handful crushed pecans

6. 1 large HOT DUMB BLONDIE (or equivalent crumbs)

Step 1

Heat up the butterscotch on ultra-low heat in a saucepan. Lay out the blondie like a bed you will soon sin upon. Build an ice cream mountain and pour butterscotch lava down in. Top it off with some whipped cream, deez nutz (pecans) and a popped cherry on top. Hot and cold sex on a platter for two.

WRAP YOUR PROSCIUTTO AROUND MY FIG

August 13, 2009
The big fig gets the smokiest meat

The big fig gets the smokiest meat

For the record, I am totally gay for figs.  They are one of history’s oldest fruits. Ever hear of the hanging gardens of Babylon?  Figs hung proudly there and flavored many ancient meals.  No doubt these edible APHRODISIACS were all over the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve just had to sample the far blander apple and ruin everything.  Not that there’s anything wrong with apples, knowledge or original sin.  Figs are just tastier, sexier and more likely to get you laid.  Sexy time is nearly certain once you wrap the figs up with Italian prosciutto and throw in some creamy Brie cheese.  Run, don’t walk to your nearest quality grocer and slice off a piece of the Garden of Eden.

Quarter the figs and add small slices of Brie to each section.  Pull off long strips of proscuitto and wrap each fig/brie unit.  Serve up on a plate or laid across your naked body.proscuitto wrapped figs assemble

GOOD FOOD = GOOD EARGASMS

August 9, 2009

728x90In the spirit of camaraderie and supporting culinary institutions that inspire, I wanted to give a shout out to Evan Kleiman and my friends at KCRW producing the radio show GOOD FOOD for NPR.  This show is like foreplay for my ears, sending me  into the kitchen to whip up one of my decadent dishes.  If this show gets your rocks off like mine, throw some support their way.  If you don’t know about it, you should.  Thanks to that “series of tubes” (Senator Ted Stevens R-AK) you can listen online, download the podcasts or stick you fork directly into the computer monitor.

Now back to our regularly scheduled tomfoolery.


SQUISHY SQUASHY CASSEROLE

August 4, 2009
Squish squash, let's get sauced!

Squish squash, let's get sauced!

This side dish is soft to the touch, yet crunchy in all the right places.  As described, this does not sound like the hard-body of summer vegetable concoctions.  But this dish could help you get that hard beach body all the cool kids seem to be having these days.  This casserole is light, full of flavor and pack a wallop of flavor-filled fungasms.  This particular dish was an experiment in how to cook summer squash besides on the grill.  A tough act to follow.  It provided great company for the grilled chicken I served to this annoying date.  The date was a bust, but luckily I got my jollies from this casserole.  The silver lining never tasted so good.

squash casserole prepTotal time: approximately 55 minutes
Projected cost: $8
Drinking Buddy: Nice cold beer or white wine

Ingredients:
1. 1 tbsp breadcrumbs
2. 2 tbsp olive oil
3. 1 dash paprika
4. 1 dash salt
5. 1 onion chopped coarsely
6. 2 green onions chopped coarsely
7. 4 globe squash
8. 2-ounces goat cheese

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a baking pan or deep wide pie-pan with olive oil.  Chop the squash into ½ inch rounds.  Line the pan with a layer of squash rounds, throw the onions over and crown with half of the goat cheese.  Set down another layer, use the rest of the goat cheese and crown with green onions.  Pour the remaining olive oil, season with paprika and salt, and evenly distribute the breadcrumbs over the top.

Throw the squash in the oven and bake until the veggies soften and the top browns (approx 45 min).  Serve up on plates as a lunch or to compliment an ENTRÉE.
