I'm getting a cold, and I'm still not done with my report. It's beginning to look grim this work. So, I decided to take a break and blog. I mean, it usually makes me feel better. Today's topic is:

Secret recipes

Everybody’s got them. The meals you only make by yourself, for yourself. Those little dishes that you find so nummy but you know, often through painful and/or embarrassing experience, other people do not appreciate. I like to call them secret recipes, because people who normally love to share recipes and make food together never speak of these dishes. So why do I bring them up?

Well, I thought it was time to break the rules, as they say. I will share my secret recipes with you, and you can share yours with me. This started out because [Bad username or site: ”sortkatt” @ livejournal.com] shared a secret recipe of one of his old flatmates with me, I think mostly to talk about how gross it was, and I had to try it. It has now become one of my secret recipes, since it was nummy and delightfully simple to make.

I have four special dishes:

1. Martine’s pizza:


Make pizza dough (water, flour, salt, 1 ts oil, oregano and salt)
Put ketchup on it.
Cut cheap, store bought sausages into squares and scatter them on the pizza.
Put cheese on it and fry it in the oven for 10-15 minutes.


2. Martine’s tomato-and-sausage-pot:


Put day-old (or newly made if you feel like it) cheap, store bought tomato soup in a bowl
Cut cheap, store bought sausages into squares and throw them in.
Put cheese on top and fry it in the oven for 10-15 minutes.

(Yes, there’s a pattern to my secret recipes)


3. Smikset (whipped) egg:


Whip an egg
Season with paprika, salt, pepper and oregano
Fry in a frying pan with ketchup and cheese.


4. Broccoli&tuna mash:


Boil broccoli and cauliflower
Add a box of tuna, salt and pepper
Mash it.

Now, what are your secret recipes? Odds are, if they’re easily made, I’ll love them.

Fried Potatoes and Onions


I got this recipe from my grandmother who used to make it for me when I was a kid.

1. Cut a good sized potato into thin (about 1/4 inch) slices
2. Dice half an onion
3. Melt some butter (a nice big spoonful) in a skillet and maybe toss in some garlic if you have any on hand (about half a teaspoon of diced garlic will be enough)
4. Add onions and potato slices to the bubbling butter.
5. Cover the skillet with something and shake the whole thing up so that everything mixes around together.
6. Cook on the stovetop until the potatoes are nice and tender (i.e. can be mashed with a fork)
7. Eat from the skillet, cuz noone is around to stop you. Mwahaha!

Re: Fried Potatoes and Onions


GAH! I forgot one of the most important ingredients! You have to put a lot of salt on the potatoes for them to cook properly. If you don't, it doesn't draw out their natural juices or something. Seriously.

3ff3ct3r's booster meal


2 bananas
3 tablespoons of peanut butter
chocolate ice cream

stuff in blender, then eat with spoon or drink. I offered some to my flatmate. He had one spoonful, said "Oh my god, man!" and stayed away the rest of the evening.

Re: 3ff3ct3r's booster meal


Wow. That's just. wow. One part of me wants to try it, the other tries to tell me that not liking peanut butter is a good indication that I won't like this either (And that my body won't like me if I eat that). But it does sound nummy. Why would he stay away?

Re: 3ff3ct3r's booster meal


He was just cowering in a corner hiding from it. I don't know, man. The guy is weird.

Re: 3ff3ct3r's booster meal


I think that's a good indication for how secret that recipe should be. Now, I'll have to try it! ;)

Mixing oatmeal with melted butter and instant chocolate makes for a deliciously unhealthy snack.

My other oddball recipie lately has been boiling all the vegetables I can think of together with some beef stock and some kind of meat for a while, then throwing it all in a blender. Looks like vomit, tastes nice, is good for you.

See how I'm right there with you with the bio-sludging of the food!

The oatmeal-butter-combo though...dude, that's nasty! But hey, broccoli&tuna-bio-sludge-girl is not going to complain. If you make it while I'm home, I might even taste it (and then mock you).

It's not really a secret, and it's not really all that strange, it does demand a bit of time, but it is almost free, very delicius and an old family recipe to boot:

Potato porridge:
Take a bunch of potatoes, peel them, wash them, dice them, cook them. When cooked, add a lot of butter, use a mixmaster to mash it. Add milk, and mix it some more. Repeat until you have a smooth, creamy substanse with a lot of air in it. Add salt to taste.

Serve the (and don't you dare call it mashed potatoes, my grandparents would kick your ass for it, devoted christians or no) porridge as porridge with an eye of butter?! (what the hell is smørøye in english?), salt, and large teaspoons with wooden handles. Mmmm. The taste of childhood. And potatoes. And melted butter.

See, I was going to give you grief because the meal didn't sound that weird at all, but the fact that you eat it like porridge makes it qualify. That is so weird! *is going to test it out* ;)
