While I was away from Christian Forums, I discovered I like to cook. I'll be looking through this thread later for recipes. Recently, I tried what I call a "mutt recipe," where I took what I had laying around and tried to make something of it. In the grand tradition of my family, I hardly measured anything, so if anyone thinks there's room for improvement, I'm open to suggestions.

Ingredients:
1 cup Great Northern beans
5 cups water
2 country pork ribs, chunked
1 large russet spud, sliced
4 strips of bacon
1 tall can of Guinness Draught
Salt
Catanzaro herbs
Mild cheddar, about 1/2 pound, mangled
Mozzarella, about 1/2 pound, mangled
Cream cheese, mangled into oblivion

Procedure:
Rinse beans. Combine beans and water in crockpot on low for one hour.
Add the ribs. Stir every hour or so for two hours.
Cook bacon in pan, and drain off the excess grease. Crumble bacon into pot.
Add the spuds. Let cook for one hour.
Add salt and herbs. Stir and let cook for one hour.
Add the beer. Let cook for two hours, stirring as necessary.
Add the two cheeses and cream cheese. Turn to high heat. Stir like a maniac until thick.
Let cook for two hours, stirring every half hour or so to avoid too much burned cheese.
Serve when pork and bacon are thoroughly cooked and cheese is melted or burned.

Servings: A lot.

Bean and spud soup I did recently in the crock pot:

1 cup of Great Northern beans, rinsed
5 cups of water
6 russet spuds in 1/2-inch cubes
1 onion, chopped
6 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup of unsalted butter
1 cup of milk
1 cup of sharp cheddar, shredded
1 cup of sour cream
8 slices of bacon, crumbled
Seasonings to taste

Cook the beans for 2 hours with the water, then add the spuds, onions, garlic, butter, and seasonings. Let it cook for another 4 hours. Then mash it up, and stir in the milk and cheese, let it heat through, and serve. Top it with more cheese, sour cream, and bacon.

I will say I might nix the butter next time. It was kind of oily.

Glad you asked! It had wanton dumplings, lettuce, shallots, quail eggs, shrimp, pork and egg noodles. :oldthumbsup: There were also bean sprouts, jalapenos, Thai basil leaves, cilantro and lime slices on the side you can add to it. =)
Sounds delicious! Was it?

I would probably only eat the steak. Thats the only thing I can identify. haha If I can't identify it then I'm not eating it :p
I wouldn't mind trying all of those lol; I guess I've really been inspired by shows like Master Chef. =)

Beautiful food art up there. Lol

I think I'm going to buy a blender seeing as how I've got some more work coming in the next few days. I've been browsing smoothie recipes online, and some look scrumptious.

Yes ma'am, you've got great taste! You just need to add in some pictures of good ole Southern style country fried steak. That shrimp & sausage dish would hit the spot too though.

Is that pull-apart garlic cheese bread in that Christmas tree? Oh yes, please! I'm addicted to that stuff. My girl complained after we had them once, on account of how my fingers smelled like garlic for hours after. :D
