Minor culinary weirdness

[Balladeer08]

I just tried putting honey on a hot dog. Not bad. Needed more than I initially thought

It made me wonder what other minor culinary things people do that might be interesting to try.

I also take the "original" packets of Quaker oatmeal and add spiced apple cider mix. Quite good. The plain oatmeal taste like library paste to me. But add the spiced cider, some raisins and flax seed meal, and it's just as good as the other packs.

So let's hear what you've got. What is your add one or two ingredients or replace x with y piece of culinary genius?

Sprinkle Cavendish Greek Seasoning and Crumbled Bacon on an Open-face Peanut Butter on Toast Sandwich.

In the alternative, try it with a drizzle of Honey and Sirachi Sauce.

Hot dogs and honey, no thanks. PBandJ on the grill pan/frying pan, with honey and banana, yes. Elvis stature on that one.

At a resort restaurant where I worked at 18, they would use apple cider infused with mulling spices to make oatmeal for the guests. It was okay, better when fruit was added: raisins and apple pieces for me.

People still eat oatmeal?

People still eat oatmeal?

Yup. And yesterday, I used 3 cups of quick oats to make No Bakes

(along with 2 cups of sugar, 1/3 cup of shortening, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 cup or so of peanut butter, 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder.)

I put cinnamon in my chicken seasonings. People think im nuts but it works suprisingly well

I might try that. Because my fat ass needs MORE cookies.

Edit: Like the unsweetened cocoa?

 

[lovetoread]

I like the pineapple cream cheese w/ pecan spread with salt and vinegar chips.

I also put ketchup on and in everything.

Yes, unsweetened cocoa.

Combine first ingredients. Over low flame, heat and stir until the shortening melts and the stuff boils some. Turn off the heat, add peanut butter, stir. Add cocoa and vanilla, stir. Add oats, stir until completely combined. Drop tablespoon sized amount onto wax paper, let cool/solidify for an hour, or until you can't not eat them.

If you have chicken soup around, it can be improved with a variety of condiments, from lemon juice to chipotle sauce.

I'm going to make these too. Sound good right about now. Thanks RJ.

These are really good. Just, if anybody else wants to make them.

I have not yet found a food that Guava Jelly doesn't compliment.

My wife likes bacon and jam sandwiches.

On a nice barbequed sausage I like banana pepper relish and sweet mustard.

That sounds interesting. Whenever I walk by a Cinnabon, I start to drool.

I mix cinnamon with sugar and have a bowl of it by the sugar bowl, I put it on toast & butter.

Pan fried walleye with a bit of strawberry jam

I do the cinnamon sugar thing on toast too. The trick is to use just a pinch in your spice mix. I guess im not as weird as I thought though. Found out its a main ingredient in jerk seasoning

The original recipe is from a 1960s Co-operative Extension cookbook for those not in good economic status, since all the ingredients were cheap at the time. It called for using dry milk powder and water, but since I can afford milk, I substituted.

This must be disqualified as anything tastes better with bacon so it is just logical.

I would imagine it give it a Middle eastern/Southwest Asian flavor.

When the son was in elementary school, I'd make him peanut butter and Hershey's chocolate syrup with fruit (apple and/or banana) sandwiches.

I bet you did not have trouble getting him to eat his lunch.

Not at all. I still remember sending him off to all-day kindergarten with his favorite sandwich: hunk of ham, cheese, and pineapple sandwich. Teacher said it was the first time in all her years of teaching K that she saw a child eat a piece of fruit other than grapes, apples, or banana.

Hell I would eat that. Make a few and send them overnight and I won't have to cook tomorrow. LOL

I used butter instead of the shortening. I can never make myself buy something that is just fat.

Butter is mostly fat

I use vegetable shortening, because it's taste neutral and it hardens quicker.
