Ghetto Hamburger

I was really hungry and didn’t have any proper food, but I noticed that I have both toast and beef patty. I realized there was only one choice: a ghetto hamburger. In this post, I’ll show you how to do it right.

First, the ingredients:

Hamburger sauce (whatever the fuck that is), ketchup, beef patty, and two slices of toast.

Then, toast the suckers:

Microwave the beef patty:

Add sauce and ketchup:

And, enjoy with a glass of milk!

I just ate mine, and I’m not particularly hungry anymore. Was it any good? No. Absolutely not. Don’t try making this if you don’t have to.

Issue #78: Cooking by the book

I made a bye bye cake for a friend who is leaving to Spain for four months. Who doesn't love chocolate.


The recipe is originally a recipe for muffins, but i wanted to try my new heart shaped box.

For Ingredients you need:

-2 eggs
-5 dl wheat flour
-1 dl sugar
-85g melted butter
-Half a teaspoon of baking soda
-2 teaspoons of baking powder
-1 teaspoon of vanillasugar
-4 spoonful of cacao powder
-100g of white chocolate
-100g of dark chocolate
-3dl milk

Frosting:
-200g Of preferred chocolate. I used milk chocolate.
-A tube of white frosting or 50g of melted white chocolate.




Put the oven on to 200 celsius
First you mix the dry ingredients into somekind of bowl. Melt the butter. Mix the eggs, sugar and milk on a nother bowl. Add the melted butter and mix some more. Then add the dry ingredients and mix again.
Crush the chocolates into crumble by using a big knife and testosterone. The more you hate it the better it comes out.
And now just mix the shit up.


Good advice: Don't do this, it's stupid.


Put the brown stuff into the heart shaped thingy and put it in the heated oven for about 30 minutes. If you are making muffins, 20 minutes. Check with a toothpick. If something sticks to it, itäs not yet ready.


Now! Lick the bowl!!


Meanwhile back in Lazy town...



Put the heart shaped cake outside. Let it chill for a while.
While it chills, you go melt the chocolate. Watch out that it doesn't burn up. Melt it carefully if you are using a microwave.



Now simply pour down the melted milk chocolate onto the cake. Check with a smooth knife that the chocolate gets everywhere. Then take the tube of white frosting and start making a large zigzag upon the cake.


And the bitch is ready!


Verdict: It's chocolate, how can you fail!





Issue #77: Hallo aus Bingen!


One day i found myself in Germany. For some reason i had gotten really drunk one night, and for a bigger suprise i had the most horrbile hangover the next day.
So i decided it would be a good idea to eat. I was right!

Next to the hotel there was a fine restaurant called Cooper's. If you ever Go to Bingen am Rhein in Germany i recommend you to go there.
The place is American styled with pictures of James Dean and Monroe hanging on the walls.
They served Hamburgers, suprise! and Hot Dogs. The price was right and the taste revived me from last nights oblivion.

The dish i ordered was called XXL Menu. It came with a huge hamburger, shitloads of fries and a 0.5l drink, which i chose to be beer of course.

The place was great and the whole menu costed under 10 euros and it was one of the most expensive menues available.
The size of the dish was so big that i needed half a dozen of Jägermeisters to help me get it down. And down it went.

Next morning i had a strange Deja vu. I had a hangover again.

Verdict: Supergut!






Ps. The waitor seemed to forget every order or bring wrong stuff to you. Suprisingly it wasn't that annoying.

Issue #76: My dog is better that your dog!


Last night was a feast. I cooked Kormacurry, fresh vegetables and a delicious sauce. Naan-bread with sesame oil, cumin flavored brown rice with fresh basil. For dessert salsa, cheese dip and nachos.
We had a food orgy with good company and watched demolition man. A real girls night in.
But yeah, instead of taking cool pictures, i forgot. So this could all be a lie and none of it ever happened.

Instead there were some leftovers from the meal and i, as a smart girl, took to work for lunch.

So. The fabulous meal doesn't look so good in a plastic tupperware-box, but who cares. I got yummy in my tummy and you don't.

For the sauce i used a Pirkka Korma-sauce that has been lying around for about a half a year. It was still good. I added some ginger, olive oil and garlic. Also the chicken was already spiced up with curry. So extra spices would of ruined the delight.
The ready meal needed still some more spicyness, samba oelek is the perfect solution.

Verdict: Great, but better when hotness added.

Issue #75: It's alive and tasty!

















Oh yeah. The re-animation starts with a delicious nutritious salad. Or so i would like to think.
Anyhow..
I'm started to enjoy salads daily. Their easy to make, tasty and awesome.

Making this salad or any salad is like building a small mountain.
To build this goodness you need to go like this:
-Take a plate.
-Put hacked green lettuce on the plate (you choose the amount)
-Then scoop a good avocado and chop it real good. (When you buy an avocado, be sure it's squeezable and not raw, raw avocado sucks major)
-Chop some cucumber and just sprinkle it on top.
-Now you have a green lettuce-avocado-cucumber salad. Now let's add some color to it. Sunkissed tomatoes! Yeah, you chop them too.
-And now, some good feta and black olives.
-Add sliced cherry tomatoes on the side like in the picture.
-And last but not least. Chop fresh basil.
-Eat.

Bon appetit.

For sauce i usually use olive oil.

Verdict: Super!

Issue #71: Blanko Revisited

Sorry for the lack of posts. Summer's here! Well, it's been here for a while already. Everyone's busy doing something else, I suppose - I know I'm busy working, plus I don't have a phone with a camera anymore.

Anyway, a while back me and fontti-intoilija went to Blanko to get something to eat. This is basically Issue #45 revisited, as I took a caesar salad, but this time with grilled chicken as an added ingredient.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves! I decided to start with some spring rolls, which tasted good and all, and the salad was ok, but they were TINY. I like my spring rolls big and juicy (and preferably with meat, but that's negotiable), and these were small and uh.. non-juicy. Nevertheless, I was in a good mood so it didn't bother me, like, at all. Crunchy! Also, the salad tasted weird, but let's not get into that.

The caesar salad, on the other hand, was da bomb. I like salad, and I like chikinz! Oh wow! And as fontti-intoilija remarked in his caesar salad review, the salad was bloody huge. There were minor complaints, but so minor that I won't even bother repeating 'em here. (except that for some reason all the sauce seemed to be concentrated on one spot and other spots left dry - weirdddd) I ate this like a madman, it was wonderful. But fontti-intoilija didn't seem too enthralled with his thai rice vegetarian whatever thing. I bet he'll write all about it! .. right..?

Verdict:
o-h w-o-w
