Das unt good? Das is banging!

 

I love me some fraus. German women inspire both lust and terror in me. Perhaps it’s the fractional Jewish blood that runs through my veins, like some twisted Eva Braun fantasy.  Read the rest of this entry »


GLAD TO MEETYA FAJITA SALAD

April 19, 2010

Hey Bonita, glad to meet ya!

Food is the great equalizer. No matter how rich, poor, hot, or totally busted you are, we all gotta eat. That’s why the CTB method works so well. Unless you are some enlightened monk impervious to hunger pangs and lascivious loins, we all need to cook and bang. Read the rest of this entry »


SO EASY FRISEE SALAD

March 23, 2010

Frisee makes them easy peasy, but never sleazy

The easy route isn’t always the sleazy route. It can be downright classy if you do it up right. Few lettuce varieties scream sophistication and debonair style like frisee. You might as well be wearing a monocle and waistcoat when you serve it up. And easy doesn’t just apply to the simplicity of this salad’s assembly. Your date will certainly be up for it, whatever “it” may be.  So get with it while the getting is good and easy. Take it frisee!

Total time: approximately 5 minutes
Projected cost: $7
Drinking Buddy: Chardonnay, like a classy suburban housewife

Ingredients (serves 6)
1. 1 bunch frisee lettuce
2. 1 tbsp CALIVIRGIN olive oil
3. 1 tbsp rice vinegar
4. 1/2 tbsp HONEY
5. 1 pear sliced thinly
6. 1/2 AVOCADO in bite-sized pieces
7. 1 lemon wedge

Step 1
Create the dressing by mixing the olive oil, lemon juice, rice wine vinegar, and honey.

Step 2
Rinse the frisee, cut off the stems, and chop coarsely into pieces you can stuff in your mouth. Throw in the pear and avocado. Toss it all with the dressing and hot damn do you have yourself a salad.

This is the perfect warm up for a hearty main like PORTOBELLO BORDELLO or DATEY CHICKEN CHA CHA.

BEET YO-GURT-LE OFF SALAD

November 11, 2009
beet yo-gurt-le served

Beet it because they need it!

Girdles are the absolute worst!  I find clothing abhorrent. If nudist colonies weren’t of the fugly side of life, I might join them.  So I settle with having a no-clothes policy in my house.  My friends thinks it’s a little weird, but my late night companions don’t seem to spend an evening playing Nintendo Wii tennis naked.  You ain’t seen nothing until you spy with your little eye naughty bits flying around hitting a video backhand.  But clothes are a mandated part of polite society so I settle for accessorizing.  One accessory I cannot abide by is the girdle.  Do we really need more obstacles to get through?  At least the bra and panty line of defense is a pleasure to view at while sneaking behind enemy lines.  Luckily this salad is healthy and with repeat meals could reduce the reason for the same fuglies at the nudist colony to ever wear a girdle when they begrudgingly go to work dressed.  Chock the flavor and cool red staining effect from the beets foreplay.

Projected cost: $5
Drinking Buddy: SLUTTY TEMPLE, red and slutty is the theme

Ingredients (serves 2):
1. 4 tbsp Greek yogurt
2. 1 dash salt
3. 3 2 large BEETS with stocks and leaves
4. Lemon juice to taste

Step 1
First chop away the stocks from the beets.  Wash the stocks/leaves thoroughly.  Chop away and seperate the stocks from the leaves, cutting them both smaller.

Step 2
Submerge the beets and stocks in boiling water and cook until you can easily penetrate the beets with a fork (approx 30 min).  Drain the water and throw the beets and stock in ice water. Remove the boiled stocks and add them to the chopped beet leaves.  Once the beets are cool, you can easily remove the skin before you slice them into thin rounds.

Step 3
Assemble your salad by laying a foundation of leaves/stocks, artfully place the beet rounds above, and smother the money shot of yogurt on top of each plate’s face. Squeeze a little lemon juice for some extra tang.

CHICKEN OUT YOUR PINEAPPLES SALAD

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.

Total time: approximately 10 minutes

Projected cost: $7

Drinking Buddy: PANTY DROPPING SHANDY

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!!!

THEY HOST YOU ROAST HEIRLOOM SALAD

July 30, 2009
They host, you boast...to your friends after the act.

They host, you boast...to your friends after the act.

The COOK TO BANG has been proven by the superstring theory via that supercollider in the Swiss Alps.  Effective as CTB may be, every once in a while you want to take your sexy cooking show on the road.  Why not take your wares to your dates pad?  It’ll seem spontaneous and romantic, even if you just don’t feel like cleaning up the mess after your done banging.  The plot is to show up to their place with a bag of groceries and commandeer their kitchen like some hungry pirate.  Soon you will be swashbuckling about with their pots and pans and will eventually end up without shirts or pants, just an eye patch and a dirty-talking parrot.  Sure your date may be technically hosting, but you will both know who’s in control.  This salad will be a great first mate as you pillage and plunder your date’s booty.

Total time: approximately 40 minutes
Projected cost: $9
Drinking Buddy: Red wine or a PANTY DROPPING SHANDY

7. 1 handful shredded mozzarella
8. 2 heirloom tomatoes

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice each heirloom tomato in half and set them in a baking pan.  Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, place a basil leaf on each and crown them with mozzarella.  Toss them in the oven and roast until the tomato softens and cheese melts (approx 35 min).

Make the balsamic reduction dressing by turning stove onto medium heat and adding the honey and balsamic vinegar, stirring vigorously.  Cook the liquid down to 1/3 of its original volume.  Pour the dressing into a container and allow it to cool.

Pimp that shrimp like a chimp with a limp

Pimp that shrimp like a chimp with a limp

First off, my apologies for yesterdays post.  I think I ate the brown acid again.  As penance, please accept this kick ass salad that is scrumptious, packed with protein and an aphrodisiac quadruple threat.  This dish will not disappoint in the pimping department.  All those flavors will be out working the corner for you, luring johns and janes in for a little cat scratch fever.  Once they get a taste, they will be customers for life…or until you kick their ass to the curb in favor of a better paying/looking clientele.  Always remember that a good pimp is a kind pimp.  No need to rough up the goods by tossing that salad too hard.  A couple good shakes will put the flavor hos in line to do your bidding.  Now get out there and get that money, honey!

BEET YOUR MEAT SALAD

November 20, 2008
Simple and seductive? You can't beat a healthy beet salad.

Simple and seductive? You can't beat a beet salad.

A naysayer might claim that beets are a boring vegetable on par with brussel sprouts or kale.  Punch this ignoramus in the face because they are clearly ignorant to just how goddamn sexy beets can be.  First, beets are an aphrodisiac used since Roman times to increase male virility due to the high boron content.  “Take favors in the beetroot fields” was a popular early 20th Century euphemism for visiting prostitutes.  Happy ending history aside, beets are amazing for your circulatory system and freshen your breath, which comes in handy for horny people with heart problems and halitosis.  But they also taste amazing and with the right combination of foods become an unstoppable force at motivating hanky panky.  Goat cheese and beets together form an alliance on par with Hall and Oates or Siegfried and Roy (minus the tiger mauling).  They are your friends and allies when it comes to the horizontal mambo.  Beet salad is a classy choice for a first date because it’s neither expensive nor expected.  It’s refreshing, invigorating and will cue you up for some felating.  Combining the salad with a bottle of wine will equate to a sublime time oh so divine.

beet-salad-preppedIngredients (for two):
1. 1 pear sliced long ways
2. 8 ounces of goat cheese cut into rounds
3. 2 steamed, peeled beets cut into rounds

Step 1
Steam or boil beets until a fork can easily be stabbed through them.  Throw the beets into a container filled with ice-cold water and allow them to cool in the fridge for 30 minutes or so.  The skin should easily peel off.  Cut the beets into rounds.
beet-salad-iced1
Step 2
Create stacks of the holy trinity, sandwiching the goat cheese between the beets and pears.  Cover them in balsamic vinegar and olive oil and serve.  Two or three per plate should suffice for a spectacular starter or a healthy lunch before an afternoon quickie.

IN-SLUT-ADA CAPRESE

November 4, 2008

Caprese them up against the mattress

Caprese them up against the mattress

Insalata caprese is the quintessential simple Italian salad.  Stacks of tomatoes, cheese and basil make for quite the sexy threesome.  Each flavor is in perfect harmony, never getting jealous that one is getting more attention because they are all so damn fine.  The tang of the tomato, soothing taste of mozzarella, and the earthy basil twist = KISS THE COOK. That’s what makes this classic clever.  Picky dates looking for a reason to leave you taking a cold shower can’t say no to something so seductively simple.  Just ask Stephen Hawking.  He’d tell you it’s against the laws of astrophysics.  You can’t argue with science, nor can you argue with this desirable salad.  One way or another, you won’t be sleeping alone.  Bear in mind a human body tends to be more comfortable to spoon with.

caprese-prepIngredients:
1. 2 buffalo mozzarella balls cut into 1 inch thick slices
2. fresh whole basil leaves
3. 2 tomatoes cut into 1 inch slices
4. 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
5. 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Step 1
Stack the tomato, mozzarella and basil, like you stack the card deck cheating at poker.  Same principle, but one is way tastier and slightly more honest.
caprese-stacked
caprese-drizzled1Step 2
Serve up your insalata caprese on a plate and drizzle with the desired amount of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  Serve solo, with bread, or with a little serenade.

Variations:
•    Substitute tomatoes with roasted red or yellow peppers
•    For a creamier, more foux de fa fa version, use burrata cheese
