LET THEM EAT SALMON CAKES

February 1, 2016

Patty cakes, salmon cakes, banger man! Bang me a salmon cake as fast as you can.

That Marie Antoinette was quite the strumpet of her day. This Versailles Vixen raised her bloomers for everyone in the court, men and women alike, except her pantywaist husband Louis XVI. What a scandal it must have been for the French queen to be a whore and the king likely gay. Every would-be suitor need only present an edible treat to Mademoiselle Antoinette and into her boudoir they would go. This was a precursor to COOK TO BANG. A little known historical fact: When Marie Antoinette said, ìLet them eat cake!î she meant salmon cakes. These are cheap and easy to create, but major crowd pleasers. If only Marie’s messenger hadn’t flubbed the message. Off with his head! Read the rest of this entry »


ROUND 2 SALMON SALAD

August 12, 2015
One good bang deserves another.

One good bang deserves another.

Sometimes the second round of banging can top the first. Sure it isn’t as fresh as the first kill (figuratively speaking, Rambo) during a conquest. But your sexy time date’s flavor sets in a little and becomes familiar and welcoming. Soon you will be reaching for them on a regular basis, happy for more of the same. While I’m enjoying my salad days where I’m sampling everything at the buffet before I get serious about one dish, I see the appeal. It’s like that perfect slice of fish that you can’t pass up in favor of the juicy chicken cordon bleu. The same rules apply with this salad. I grilled an outstanding slab of salmon for party of 20 (sorry I didn’t document) and ended up with a fridge full of leftovers. Adding the salmon to the salad was almost an afterthought, like banging the person sleeping next to you while you’re half asleep. Good thing for that. This salad satisfied the hungry girl from the party who stayed the night…and half the next day.

If you eat-a my pita, I'll gladly reciprocate.

That’s right, you read that right. Eat-a my goddamn pita! I don’t care if it sounds rude.  In fact, it is quite the opposite.  I’m trying to make sure you eat something nutritious…for a change.  Don’t harp on me just because I’m looking out for you.  No one else has the courage to set your dumb ass straight.  You should be thanking me not only for my kindness, but for this sandwich that’s likely the only calories you consume this week that are nonalcoholic.  But now that we got the pleasantries out of the way, bitch, let’s get down the hate-fucking each other before work.  Passive aggressive sex with pita sandwiches on the go coming right up!

Total time: approximately 7 minutes

Projected cost: $4

Drinking Buddy: Sauvignon blanc or beer

3. 2 handfuls leftover FISH (salmon in pics)

4. 2 large handfuls romaine chopped coarsely

5. 1 small handful kalamata olives

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°F/90°C so you can warm the pita pizza up. Spread hummus over half the pita.  Scatter the fish, lettuce and pitted olives evenly.  Fold the pita over in half and cut them into two sandwiches.

SALMON GRILLS AND PASTA THRILLS

June 8, 2009
This fish dish offers thrills, grills, and hopefully no spills.

This fish dish offers thrills, grills, and hopefully no spills.

Some naysayers will claim that salmon is a boring fish to eat.  So predictable, so typical, so uninspired. You have my permission to give them an atomic wedgie for believing they think outside of the box.  These people haven’t left the box since slap bracelets were in.  Salmon is only as boring as the chef cooking with it.  Think of it salmon as a blank canvas for a painter or a mold of clay for a sculptor.  You could just paint a still life or sculpt a symmetrical vase.  But you could also create something groundbreaking that will shake the art world to its self-righteous core.  Now translate that “fuck the norm” attitude to your culinary creations.  Throw some flare into that fish and your night’s post-curricular activities will be rated for Mature audiences only due to nudity, sexual content and adult language. Violence will be notably absent.

SALMON AND ON AND ON

June 1, 2009
Salmon? C'mon and on and on!

Salmon? C'mon and on and on!

You want me to stop this COOK TO BANG madness?  Never!  Why would I when it makes the world a better-fed and less sexually frustrated place?  The mayor of Bangor, Maine just gave me the key to the city.  I handed him a secret recipe to bring some sexual healing back into his marriage.  Apparently banging has returned to Bangor.  I don’t like to think of myself as a hero, more of a civil servant.  CTB is a community service that is no way court ordered from a conviction for public indecency when I broke into Martha Stewart’s kitchen while she was in the slammer and broadcast my own cooking and banging demonstrations.  All three of those girls were legal, consensual and it was their idea!  Anyway…it’s good to be commended instead of condemned.  And with that, I give you this epically delicious salmon recipe that will keep you banging on and on and…you get the picture.

Total time: approximately 40 minutes
Projected cost: $21
Drinking Buddy: White wine

11. 1 red onion chopped finely

Step 2
Create the sauce by sautéing the onions and mushrooms on high heat with 1 tbsp of oil with some black pepper (approx 4 min).  Add in the tomatoes and sauté them with the white wine until they get soft (approx 4 min). Use the back of a spoon to pop each cherry…tomato.  Turn the heat down low and simmer the tomatoes with the capers until the fish is ready.

Step 3
Keep the fish in the oven until the pan is searing hot and the seasoning has blackened on top (approx 20 min).  Remove the pan from oven and smother it with the sauce, which will sizzle like crazy.  Turn off the heat and throw the fish back into the oven, doors closed and let the sauce settle in (approx 15 min).
