SLOB ON MY KNOBBLER COBBLER

March 21, 2009
Don't be a slob, bob on my knob!

Don't be a slob, bob on my knob!

You read that right.  Why pussyfoot around the subject when we all know what this is about?  Sweet action satisfaction!  This cobbler is sure to earn you the type of brownie points you can cash in for attention of the oral kind.  Of course I’m talking about having your date hand feed you cobbler.  What?  You thought I was being inappropriate and crass?  Me?  A guy who writes a recipe blog called Cook To Bang?  Get your filthy mind out of the gutter!  I am merely trying to provide my beloved readers with upright (or is it uptight?) family values recipes to bring to their Bible groups.  And lord knows this dessert is sure to get your date to scream out, “Oh God!”

mango-cobbler-prepTotal time: approximately 50 minutes
Projected cost: $4
Drinking Buddy: Dust off that bottle of wine and get to the banging already!

Ingredients (serves 2):
1. ½ cup of oats
2. 3 tablespoons of brown sugar
3. 2 handfuls of mango chunks
4. 1/3 of a stick of butter
5. 1 handful of shelled pistachios
6. 1 tablespoon of flour (not pictured, sue me)

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Create the crust by melting the butter in a small pot on medium heat.  Dump in the brown sugar and stil until it becomes like molasses.  Dump in the oats and pistachios and allow the butter and sugar to cook into them (approx 1 minutes).  Mix in the flour, stir for a moment, and then turn off the heat.

Step 2
Stuff the mango chunks into 2 small oven-safe bowls or ramekins.  Use a spoon to lay the crusts over the top of each bowl and press down so it is all contained.  Place these into the oven with something underneath like a baking sheet to catch any spillage.  Bake until the crust hardens and caramelizes (approx 40 minutes), then remove from oven, allow to cool, and serve up.  Bonus points if you listen to Depeche Mode a la mode while you eat it

BANANA-RAM-YA MILKSHAKE

February 28, 2009
Do wop babaloo bop do wop BANG BOOM!

Do wop babaloo bop do wop BANG BOOM!

Just imagine yourself a young, horny kid in the 50’s.  Too bad societal pressures would keep you from indulging your every whim like James Dean.  No, you would be expected to settle for some awesome chrome car and a letterman jacket or pressed Donna Reed blouse.  Sounds good in their theory, but do you really want to wait until marriage to bang to your hearts content?  Chances are you would be locked in to a loveless marriage fueled by Dean Martin, scotch, and keys in the punchbowl parties.  Luckily, 50+ years and a sexual revolution later, we can indulge our carnal desire milkshake without having to buy the whole rancid cow.  Bear in mind that back then the concept of lactose intolerance was not even a glimmer in the milkman banging the bored housewife’s eye.  But we can thank the 50’s for the malt shop culture.  Back then they couldn’t bang so they consumed high calorie treats.  Now we can do both.  So sip your milkshake while you lift up that poodle skirt and doo wop to your heart’s content.

banana-milkshake-prepTotal time: approximately 2 minutes
Projected cost: $5
Drinking Buddy: If you are hardcore you could pour in some vodka

Ingredients (serves 2):
1. 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream
2. 2 cups of milk
3. 2 tablespoons of honey
4. 1 banana
5. 1 handful of pistachios

Step 1
Break the banana in half and drop it in the blender along with the ice cream, honey, pistachios and milk and blend it to perfection.  Serve it up cold before things get really hot!

MELLOW JELL-O MAKES’EM BELLOW

February 6, 2009
Class up the Jell-O by setting them in citrus rinds

Class up the Jell-O by setting them in citrus rinds

Jell-O shots are a symbol of youthful indiscretion.  The very use of them conjures up memories of high school or college parties.  Turning alcohol into a solid, easily tossable form indicates a clear problem with authority.  Anyone making, serving or slurping these lacks maturity and predictability.  Shame shame, they know your name!  If the kid in you still wants to play hard, read on.  If you are shaking your head with disappointment, might I recommend the AARP website where they offer great tips for keeping your shuffleboard skills tip top during winter.  Fact: Jell-O shots are silly. Fact: Jell-O shots are a crapshoot of adventure.  Part of the fun is seeing how hard they’ll hit you (CTB recommends caution, of course).  Chances are good that you’ll end up drunkenly manhandling someone who will hopefully molest you right back. Both your chins will be stained from gelatin and your brains tainted with booze.  Do Bill Cosby proud and say it loud, “There’s always room for Jell-O!”

jello-shots-prepTotal time: approximately 4 hours
Projected cost: $6 (excluding vodka)
Drinking Buddy: You’re eating your drink, Mm mm!

Ingredients:
1. 1 package of Jell-O, chef’s choice on flavor
2. 2 cups of vodka
3. 2 cups of water
4. Handful of separated mint leaves
5. 6 lemons or oranges to half & hollow out

Step 1
Bring the water to a roaring boil.  Dump in the Jell-O mix and stir until the powder dissolves completely (approx 2 minutes).  Turn off the heat and pour the cold or room temperature vodka into the mix.
jello-shots-heat-and-mix
Step 2
Cut the lemon or oranges in half and hollow them out.  Use a ladle to pour the unformed Jell-O liquid to the brim of each hollow rind.  Place in the fridge and allow them to cool and harden (approx 4 hours).  Halfway through the process, place a mint sprig in each half and allow them to set.  Serve the Jell-O shots up

BUTTER MY CINNAMON TOAST

December 4, 2008
Spread it, sprinkle it, toast it, taste it

Spread it, sprinkle it, toast it, taste it

Ever have one of those mornings where you have someone in your bed who you’d like to keep there?  The problem is they are hungry, and, if you can get your mind off the next position you want to try, you’d realize you would eat a camel carcass and ask for hot sauce.  Making something impressive like pancakes would take forever and delay why you’re making the grub in the first place.  Plus your fridge is filled only with condiments, beer and ½ a loaf of half stale bread.  This is the perfect time to get your bread buttered.  Cinnamon toast to the rescue with 30 seconds of preparation, 3 minutes of toasting, 5 minutes of eating and 45 minutes of headboard banging.  Spread and sprinkle, baby!

cinnamon-toast-prep1Ingredients (for 2):
1. 2 slices of white or wheat bread
2. 1 tablespoon of sugar
3. 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
4. two knife spread of butter

Step 1
Spread butter across each slice of bread slice massage oil into taut shoulders.  Sprinkle enough cinnamon to leave its mark on the butter, then smother in shiny white sugar.
cinnamon-toast-spread-sprinkle
Step 2
Slide the ready-to-rock bread into the toaster oven and set to medium/brown and let it roll.  You’ll know you’re in the money when the sugar and cinnamon crystallize.  Serve that diamond up and enjoy the ride.

BANG YO MANGO CHICKEN SINWICH

December 3, 2008

Mango makes you tango then bango all night long.

Mango makes you tango then bango all night long.

Come taste the flavor of the Carribean in winter time. This sandwich is like a vacation for your mouth complete with steel drums and Bob Marley crooning softly in your head.  Mango seems to make just about everything tastier and provides some much needed Vitamin C.  The chicken will come to life like a sex-crazed bird when the mango gets done with it.  The reasons go beyond scientific explanation.  Your date will be impressed that you are worldly enough to have thought of such a novel flavor combination.  And with good reason.  Perhaps you can explain that you discovered this recipe while you were touring with Burning Spear or the Wailers.  Sure you may have only been playing tambourine, but you’re rhythm was essential to the overall sound.  Now it’s time to show off your other rhythm.  Mmm mmm mmm…

mango-chicken-sandwich-prepIngredients (for 2):
1. 1 tablespoons of olive oil
2. ½ a lemon
3. 3-4 green onions chopped coarsely
4. 3 mushroom cut in slices
5. 2 handfuls of chopped lettuce
6. 2 hamburger buns
7. 1 handful of chopped mango chunks (fresh or frozen)
8. ½-1 pound of white meat chicken
9. 1 handful fresh mozzarella in thin slices
10. ½ an avocado slices thinly

Step 1
Throw the chicken and green onions into a bowl and squeeze the lemon into them.  Allow to marinate for 15 minutes, then mix in the chopped mango chunks.mango-chicken-sandwich-marinade

Step 2
While the chicken marinates, sauté the mushrooms with the olive oil they are moist and limp (unlike you or your date).mango-chicken-sandwich-shrooms

Step 3
Toast the hamburger bun with the fresh mozzarella cheese placed on the top side of each set.  The bread should be brown and the cheese melted.mango-chicken-sandwich-buns

Step 4
Cook the chicken in a pan until there is no pink and the mango has cooked into the meat.  mango-chicken-sandwich-cook

Step 5
Assemble the sandwiches with the lettuce and avocado on the top side.  The chicken crowned with the sautéed mushrooms goes on the bottom.  Push them together just like you and your date will be pushed together when all is said and done.mango-chicken-sandwich-assemble

PINCH YOUR ASS-BERRY BROWNIES

November 24, 2008
Even a man without taste buds would have an edible orgasm from this treasure.

Even a man without taste buds would have an edible orgasm from this treasure.

I challenge anyone to make these brownies and not succeed in melting the heart of your intended conquest.  This dish is so sensual and irresistible that I seduced myself.  It was quite the challenge to  share it with my date.  She couldn’t keep her finger out of my batter and licked my bowl clean.  We nearly finished it off before it made it into the oven.  Good thing we did because these brownies were radioactive with awesomeness.  This is an aphrodisiac double feature with more chocolate than Willy Wonka could pull out of his hat with the antioxidant raspberry remix.  Just thinking about these brownies brings a tear to my eyes because I know what dessert in heaven will taste like, minus the annoying harp music.  Accept the raspberry brownies into your heart and sing a post-coital Hallelujah!

raspberry-brownies-prepIngredients:
1. 2/3 cup of baking flour
2. ¼ teaspoon of baking powder
3. ¾ cup of sweet ground chocolate/cocoa (Ghiradelli recommended)
4. ¼ teaspoon of salt
5. ½ a small package of fresh/frozen raspberries
6. 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
7. 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
8. 1 stick of butter
9. ¾ cup of sugar
10. 2 eggs

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Sift together the flour, cocoa mix, sugar, salt and baking powder.  Melt the stick of butter and beat in with eggs and vanilla extract.  Mix the eggs/butter combination with the dry cocoa/flour/sugar mix into a batter.  Blend in the chocolate chips and you have mind-blowing batter that you can bake or lick off your date’s naughty bits.
raspberry-brownies-batter1
Step 2
Grease that small pan (9 inch square recommended) like its never been greased up before.  Pour in half the batter like a pleasure-delaying seduction. Tuck those babe-licious berries into the brownie batter bed before smothering it with the other half of cocoa-laden chaos.  Throw the baking pan into the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes.  When in doubt, us a toothpick to dip into the brownie: if the pick comes out dry you got yourself a decadent dessert.  Allow to cool for 15 minutes, then serve with ice cream, a glass of milk, or with your best deal-closing move.raspberry-brownies-pan

BANG ‘TIL YOU’RE BLUE-A KAHLUA BROWNIES

November 16, 2008

Kahlua brownie makes your date go to townie

Kahlua brownie will make 'em go downie on you

If you are sweet on your sweetheart, use chocolate to seal the deal.  Chocolate is an amazingly effective aphrodisiac that gets the heart rate up, increases blood flow and creates a natural feeling of well being, euphoria, and with any luck, wanton lust.  Ancient Aztec’s thought it invigorated men and made women less inhibited and they consumed it before battle or intense rounds of sexual activity.  Have we learned nothing from history?  Do as the Aztec do and do it all night with some natural aphrodisiacs.  The fact that it tastes like food reserved for the Gods is beside the point.  Take it a step further with Kahlua.  The Mexican liqueur makes bad coffee tastes superb, a white Russian worthwhile and stands alone like champ just on ice.  Combine chocolate and Kahlua into homemade brownies and you are well on your way to a tasty, triumphant evening.  If the magnificent meal you made can’t seal the deal, go for the knockout punch.  Hand feed your date a Kahlua Brownie and follow it up with a chocolate flavored kiss.  Mmm…

kahlua-brownie-prepIngredients (for 2):
1. ½ stick of butter
2. 4 ounces of unsweetened baking chocolate
3. 2 cups of sugar
4. 3 eggs
5. 1 teaspoon of baking powder
6. 1½ cups of flour
7. 1 teaspoon of salt
8. 2 cups of Kahlua
9. ½ cup of shredded coconut

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  In one mixing bowl combine the flour, salt and baking powder and mix together thoroughly.  In a second bowl, mix the eggs and sugar together so they are united, like the 13 original US colonies.
kahlua-brownie-mix-f42d61a
Step 2
Use a saucepan to heat the butter and melt down the chocolate.  Add 1½ cups of the Kahlua (saving the other ½ cup) and mix until it is one chocolate river of goodness.kahlua-brownie-choc1

Step 3
Bring together the flour/salt/baking power with the egg/sugar and melted chocolate/Kahlua into one big party.  Blend it all into a batter and make it all better by adding the shredded coconut.  Pour the better batter into a greased baking pan and spread it out evenly.
kahlua-brownie-mix-it-up
Step 4
Throw the baking pan in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. If you are unsure if it is ready, dip a toothpick into the brownie: if it comes out clean you have yourself bake brownies.  Finally, use a brush or flat spoon to spread out the remaining ½ cup of Kahlua and let it settle for 5 minutes into a glaze.  Cut the brownies up and serve with milk, ice cream or use them to bribe a cop out of a speeding ticket.kahlua-brownie-kahlua-glaze
