DOUBLE E-CUP MORNINGS

December 4, 2009

Go ahead. Cop a feel.

Ever woken up next to someone WAY out of your league? Last night is a blur, you’re unsure of this hottie’s name, and you’re wondering if your benefactor is Make A Wish Foundation.   However you got here is irrelevant should you wish to see this stone-cold sexpot after they walk out your door.  Sure if it was another skank you assured your friends, “I know. It’s been a while. But seriously, dude, I know!” you wouldn’t bother with an Eggo waffle.  But on rare occasions where your lucky ass hits the hookup jackpot, you need to bring your morning A-game.  This is one such meal memorable enough to get a repeat or three-peat or possibly a repeat with a three-peat of conquests. Just ask the ballerina I’m told I picked up at a black tie Art Gala I crashed. Pictures of the two of us in the BG behind celebrities smiling like douches confirms the story, but you could have told me I saved her from a crazy Sheik’s harem and I’d take your word for it. This girl was in a hurry, presumably to pirouette across some stage, so I had to hook her up on the quick.  The cabbage cups made one hell of a carb-light wrap for my tiny dancer to chow on the go.  Later on it was she who called me and texted me and facebooked me and…Chill, homegirl! This dish may just be too effective.

Total time: approximately 10 minutes

Projected cost: $6

Drinking Buddy: Fresh OJ or BANGARITA

Ingredients (serves 2):

1. 2 intact cabbage cups

2. 1 dash paprika

3. 1 dash black pepper

4. 1 dash salt

5. 2 tbsp CALIVIRGIN olive oil

6. 1 handful fresh spinach

7. SIMPLY SEXY SALSA

8. ½ AVOCADO sliced thinly

9. 2 sausages (pork/chicken/veggie) sliced thinly

10. 3 eggs

Step 1

Crack the eggs and whisk them together with the salt, black pepper and paprika.

Step 2

Sauté the sausage with olive oil until they brown on both sides (approx 3 min).  Mix in the spinach and sauté until it wilts (approx 2 min).  Pour in the egg mixture and scramble like a champ (approx 2 min).

Step 3

Scoop half of the eggs in each cabbage cup. Crown with avocado and salsa.

The odds of stopping this BREAKFAST from sealing the seduction package deal are not good.

BREAK YOUR HEARTY PASTA

December 3, 2009

Each noodle is a thread of attraction sliding down their throat into their hearts.

Pasta was my love long before I appreciated the finer foods.  From the get-go, I slarped down cans of Chef Boyardee pasta letters, crazy for carbs.  You can imagine my frustration over the Atkins zombies ruining food for the rest of us. They don’t understand the rudimentary equation for health: balance of diet and exercise. Therefore their unhealthy dismissal of carbohydrates, the item most essential to early civilization development, makes the pasta pimp in me prep my hand for a bitch-slap.  Pasta gets me off.  It’s that simple. I need hearty fuel to keep me charging ahead when it’s cold and miserable outside.  How else am I going to keep myself charging through the day and make it through to another exhausting evening of cooking to bang?  There are too many hearts to break to get weak and mopey due to lack of premium gas pasta power. Your date will be equally stoked for the hearty comfort…unless they are an Atkins freak. Those folks are more likely to smothers their bun-free burger in cow’s blood and howl at the full moon.  FYI- Werewolves are hot in the sack, but my doctor says the claw marks dug into my back will probably scar.  Let this be a warning to Cook To Bang’s Team Jacob readers.

Total time: approximately 20 minutes
Projected cost: $7
Drinking Buddy: Red wine, sucka! Lots of it.

Ingredients (serves 2):
1. 2 tbsp CALIVIRGIN olive oil
2. 1 28-OZ can of crushed tomatoes
3. 1 kale bunch
4. 1 radish bunch with stalks/leaves
5. 1 tsp parsley flakes
6. 2 dashes salt
7. 2 sausages chopped into bite-sized pieces
8. Parmesan to taste
9. 2 garlic cloves sliced thinly
10. ½ lb whole wheat spaghetti

Step 1
While the spaghetti boils, complete steps 2 & 3. Once al dente, drain and mix in the complete sauce and crown with Parmesan, as you like.

Step 2
Wash the radishes, chopping the stocks and leaves into smaller pieces. Cut off the ends of the radish and slice into bite-sized rounds. Wash the kale too and cut into smaller pieces.

Step 3
Sauté the garlic and radishes in a stockpot until they soften (approx 5 min).  Add the radish leaves and kale and cook until they wilt like spinach (approx 3 min).  Push the sautéed veggies to one side and sauté the sausages until they brown (approx 3 min).  Pour in the tomato can, using a blunt object to pulverize them even further.  Spice the sauce with salt and parsley flakes, slow simmer until the pasta is ready, and then go back to Step 1.

This heartiest of hearty pastas goes great with GARLIC (MY BALLS) BREAD. More carbs, yay!

Breakfast totally gets me hard

Breakfast just gets my juices flowing if you catch my drift.  And it’s not just because of morning wood.  Eating something delicious and nourishing in the cold, dark hours of a new day puts in a good place.  It’s not unlike morning sex. The combination of the two sends me to work with a bounce in my step that no micromanaging boss could take away.  So when captain douche bag stops by your cubicle to ask how that report is coming along, you can look them in the eye, smile and say, “I’m right on top of that.”  What you’re really thinking is, “I spent my morning humping, pumping and then munching, so suck it, boss man.”  Now get on with your day because you have a night of cooking and banging to look forward to while your boss will go home to cry into a bowl of soggy Cheerios.

SQUASHTACULAR

November 9, 2009
spicy squash casserole served 3

Squash all resistance to your charms!

Some knucklehead who probably hasn’t seen a naked woman since his subscription to National Geographic ran out told me squash ain’t sexy.  Granted it doesn’t pack the same luscious sex appeal as an oyster or fig, but damnit, squash has gotten me laid plenty of times.  Squash is the perfect fall ingredient to prep you for the cold winter that lies ahead.  They are inexpensive, tasty and versatile as a bisexual Cirque du Soleil performer.  My problem is that I keep going back to my classic squash dishes.  But you gotta break out of routine, no matter how awesome that routine might be, if you hope to attain glory.  This little Frankenstein’s monster brought honor to my family; my reputation as a lady-slayer stands untarnished.  It was spicy, sweet and comforting all at the same time.  My one caution is that this side dish very well may outclass the rest of your meal.  So cook with bravado!

Total time: approximately 8 minutes

POMEGRATIFY YOUR MORNING DESIRES

Antioxidize your sexual frustration!

I am most inclined to bang in the morning.  My attention is, shall we say, piqued? Not sure if has to do with the fact I’m well rested of that my dreams are so goddamn sexy that I turn myself on.  Considering my dreams are essentially Red Shoe Diaries episodes minus David Duchovny, I’d go with the latter.  When I have company come morning time, then the whirlwind of screams, moans and panting expressions of gratitude before and after breakfast are assured.  But there are occasions when I wake up alone, hungry for something that is not there.  Wondering what I do during those moments of frustration?  I forego the desire to go postal and channel my energy into a badass breakfast that will get my brain charged and inspired to not repeat another sexless morning.  This little treat was concocted and it satisfied most of my needs.  This weekend I remade this breakfast delight for my late night Halloween guest before homegirl did the walk of shame dressed like a slutty ice cream cone.  Could you blame me for going for the girl dressed like food?  I do after all, Cook to Bang…or in this case, lick to bang.

UNDRESS YO PESTO

October 27, 2009
Pesto will get the best-o the closet hos.

Pesto will get the best-o the closet hos.

I was baffled when I received numerous queries from readers who’ve never used or even tasted pesto.  First I shed a tear for them, heartbroken they’ve gone through life without the green APHRODISIAC potion.  But after my bleeding heart was drained of all liquid and empathy, I resolved to lead those lost souls to the promise land.  There is no substitute for homemade pesto…maybe homemade pesto brought into the bedroom for Culinarylingus. This will take your culinary seduction game to a new level.  I hope you’re ready to leap onto the highway to the endangered zone.  “Why endangered?” you ask.  Because ecstatic feelings brought on by a combo of the bliss on your tongue inspiring your date’s tongue to give you even more bliss.  Call the World Wildlife Federation because we have solved this crisis.  Now go forth and multiply multiple orgasms!

STIR-FRY UP SOME TOFU TROUBLE

October 23, 2009
Double trouble looking for a piece of that bubble!

Double trouble looking for a piece of that bubble!

You know the deal.  Society tells us to behave, to color within the lines, to speak when spoken to.  That’s all well and good if you’re a eunuch.  But what about those of us with a spine flowing with spunk?  We’re not just going to lie down and endure our master’s cruel, but fair beatings for stepping out of line.  No bloody way!  We are our own masters and being as such, we color way outside the lines and even off the page.  That’s why we Cook to Bang and not Cook to Cuddle.  So whose to say a tofu stir-fry has to marinate in apologetic afterthought?  Why not be bold with that palette so it grabs your date’s collar and shake them, screaming, “I’m an interesting person!”  Glad you see it my way.  Now stir up some trouble with that healthy meal of yours.

Peep perfect pineapples preferably perpetually!

Peep perfect pineapples preferably perpetually!

That’s right.  I’m peeping your pineapples.  Is that a problem?  Am I offending you by leering?  I can’t help it if them apples are all that and bag of lettuce…that happens to be in my hand.  I come correct when it comes to lunchtime fare.  This is the perfect lunch you finally make Saturday afternoon after spending the whole morning nursing a hangover and an extended orgasm.  Then again, it makes a pretty bodaciously badass dinner salad to serve with a light ENTRÉE.  With greens, meats and fruit this good together, I’m sure you can let my lecherous ways slide just this once.  And while we’re on the subject of sliding, slide on over this way so we can slip slide the night away.  As a delicious side note: pineapple makes certain male fluids taste better.  Just looking for the ladies (and a the fab fellas) with oral fixations.

STUFFED PEPPER PARTY

May 11, 2009

The stuffed pepper party train has left the station!

It’s time to throw down!  The week ain’t over yet, but you’re leady to let the dogs out.  Woof to the M-F’ing woof!  I suggest you get funky in the kitchen rather than unleash potentially rabid beasts onto the populace.  Sure it may not be as thrilling as sending cooped up canines out into your neighborhood to attack mailmen and Xanaxed housewives alike. You will however avoid a lawsuit and a stern warning from animal control.  Why not invite someone sexy over for a little party for two instead?  What better way to do that than with bell peppers, chicken and apples?  I do declare you are both in for a treat! Once you guys stuff yourselves with these aphrodisiac-stuffed peppers, it’s time for someone to get stuffed.  Don’t be surprised if those same dogs howl along with as you both scream pleasurable expletives into the night.
