Are you Talented? (Airborne Warri0r)

So, do you have any talents at all? Can you play a mean guitar, juggle 5 balls, sing like an angel or deadlift colossal weights? Is there anything you excel in? Unfortunately I'm mediocre in everything I do...

Trash Can Nachos

3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces skirt steak
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 ounces grated mild cheddar cheese
2 ounces monterey jack cheese
2 ounces Oaxaca cheese
2 ounces asadero cheese
pinch cayenne
pinch cumin
1 tablespoon each minced pickled jalapenos
1 tablespoon pickled jalapeno juice
2 tablespoons pico de gallo
1 cup dried black beans
1/2 cup minced sweet onion
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
1 sprig epazote or 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
tortilla chips
Cotija cheese crumbled
1 red onion sliced
radish julienned
cilantro chopped
Mexican crema

Carne Asada:
Combine 2 cloves garlic, lime juice and salt; rub all over skirt steak and refrigerate 30 minutes.
Grill over high heat, turning, until charred, 6 to 8 minutes.
Let rest, then chop.

Super Melty Cheese (SMC):
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add flour and whisk until smooth and toasted, 5 minutes.
Whisk in milk and heavy cream; bring to a boil.
Add cheese.
Whisk until melted.
Stir in cayenne and cumin, jalapenos, juice and pico de gallo.
Remove from the heat and keep warm.

Black Beans:
Rinse black beans, then soak in water overnight; drain.
Transfer to a saucepan, cover with water by 2 inches and bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer.
Add onion, 1 clove garlic, salt, and epazote or oregano.
Simmer until the beans are tender, about 1 hour, adding more water as needed.
If used discard the epazote.

Spoon some of the SMC in a large tin can (an empty 110-ounce can works well, or you can use a pot or a metal bucket). Layer 1/4 pound tortilla chips one-quarter of the way up.

Spoon more SMC over the chips, then sprinkle with a layer each of carne asada and black beans. Sprinkle with pico de gallo, shredded cheddar, sliced jalapeno, Cotija cheese, red onion, radish and cilantro; drizzle with Mexican crema.

Repeat to make 3 more layers of chips, SMC, meat, beans and toppings. Place a large round platter or tray on top of the nachos; invert onto the platter and remove the can. Garnish with more pico de gallo, cilantro, red onion and jalapeno.

Starbucks Reduced Fat Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Streusel Topping
2/3 cups granulated sugar
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 ¾ teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons salted-butter, melted, if you don’t use salted butter add 1/8 teaspoon salt
Filling
1 cup light brown sugar
1 ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
Reduced Fat Coffee Cake
6 tablespoons cinnamon applesauce
6 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs
3/4 cup fat-free sour cream
1 ¼ cups skim milk
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12’’ round pan or 9" x 13" pan.
Prepare the topping by mixing together sugar, flour and cinnamon. Once it is combine stir in melted butter, stirring till well combined. Set aside.
Prepare the filling by stirring together all of the ingredients in a small, set aside.
The cocoa powder is used just strictly for color, not flavor; you may select to leave it out.
I do not, what is pictured is with the cocoa.
Make coffee cake by beating together applesauce, butter, salt, sugars, baking powder, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In small bowl whisk together the fat-free sour cream and skim milk until well combined.
Gently beat in flour mixture to the butter mixture alternating with the milk/sour cream until combined.
Pour ½ of the coffee cake batter into the prepared pan.
Then sprinkle the filling evenly on top of the coffee cake batter.
Spread the remaining batter over the filling. Then use a knife to gently swirl the filling into the batter. Like you would when making a marble cake. Don’t over swirl it, because then you will mix the two and not see the swirl. I go through the cake once and call it good.
Now sprinkle the topping evenly over the coffee cake.
Place in pre-heated oven and bake 55-60 minutes or until the cake until has dark golden brown edges; and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
*Tip to tell if it is done, press gently in the middle if it springs back it is done.
Once coffee cake is done remove from oven and cool for 20-30 minutes.

Carrabba's Sicilian Chicken Soup

diced tomatoes with their juices and then add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch.
Over high heat bring to a boil.
Then add parsley, garlic, 1 tablespoon of salt and pepper.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover partially with a lid.
Let it simmer for 2 hours, or until chicken is falling off the bone.
Remove chicken and let it cool, for 30 minutes or until cool to the touch.
Reduce heat to low and let the soup continue to simmer.

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spay a half sheet pan with non-stick spray.

Fork's Bam Sammy

1 lb bacon
1/2 c. maple syrup I prefer using 100% pure
1/4 c. brown sugar
mozzarella cheese
2 ripe avocados 1/2 avocado per sandwich
2 to matoes
fresh pesto
4 eggs 1 per sandwich
8 slices of bread we used sourdough

At least an hour before you start preparing your meal, mix together the maple syrup and brown sugar in a small bowl. Cut the bacon slices into halves, make sure they are separated from each other, and place them all in a large plastic bag. Pour the syrup mixture over the bacon and seal. Place bag in the fridge to marinate.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. After bacon has marinated for an hour, line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and top that with a wire rack/cooling rack. Arrange 6 small slices of bacon into a weave (see picture below). Or you can just cook the pieces normally. Bake for about 20 minutes, or desired crispiness. Keep oven on.
While the bacon is cooking, slice the tomatoes and avocados. And cook the eggs over medium.
On another cookie sheet arrange the 8 slices of bread, 4 with sliced mozzarella cheese, 4 with a layer of pesto. Bake just until cheese begins to melt.
Arrange by a slice of cheese bread topped with the tomato, bacon, egg, avocado, and then topped with a pesto slice.
This recipe makes 4 sandwiches, you can adjust according to how many you actually need.

Homemade Holiday Eggnog

4 egg yolk
1/3 cups sugar, plus 1 Tablespoon
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 Teaspoon fresh nutmeg
4 egg whites
Bourbon or brandy, optional

Separate the yolks.
Then pour the yolk in one bowl and the white in another.
Why can’t you just do all of the eggs over one bowl and catch all the whites at once?
You can if you are a gambler.
Because if just one drop of yolk infects your whites you have to start all over.
They will never whip up because fats and whites don’t mix.
Put the whites in the fridge and start with your yolks.
If you don’t have a mixer then get your favorite whisk.
Mix the yolks and sugar together until they lighten a bit in color and grow in volume.
Now combine your milk, cream and nutmeg in a medium saucepan and put it on medium heat.
If you don’t want to pasteurize your yolks, skip this step entirely.
Heat this to just below boiling temperature. Probably around 170 degrees.
Slowly drizzle in a cup of the hot liquid into your eggs.
Keep mixing the yolks while you do this.
Then once your cup of hot liquid is mixed in with your yolks, your yolks will be up to temperature and you can slowly add them back to your saucepan.
If you don’t bring your yolks up to temperature, your eggs will cook when they hit the hot liquid.
Now put this back on the burner until it reaches 160 degrees.
Keep whisking it and it will only take a minute or two.
You can then be assured that your eggs are safe.
Add in your brandy if you are using it and stick the mixture in the fridge to chill out.
As a shortcut, you can place the mixture in a mixing bowl and put it in a larger bowl with ice water.
Whisk the hot mixture and it will cool down rapidly.
Put in the fridge, it’ll take an hour or two to chill and then you need to prep your egg whites.
Just mix them up with a mixer until they are fluffy.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to wash your mixers really well before you do this.
Once the whites start forming little peaks, add in that extra tablespoon of sugar and keep mixing until you get stiff peaks.
Finally, once your milk base is chilled, fold your whites into your milk base and you have the best eggnog ever.
Note
If you mix your whites an hour or two in advance that is okay.
Just be sure to whisk them together for a minute or two before you add them to the milk base because some liquid will probably separate out.

Williams Sonoma Peppermint Bark

1 pound Guittard Semisweet Chocolate (61% cacao)
1 pound Guittard White Chocolate (31% cacao)
3/8 teaspoon food grade peppermint oil
1/4 teaspoon food grade peppermint oil
½ cup crushed peppermint candies or candy canes

Line a jelly roll pan with waxed paper.
Melt semisweet chocolate in a double boiler.
Stir in 3/8 teaspoon food grade peppermint oil.
Spread semisweet chocolate over the waxed paper.
Spread the chocolate out to about 1/4 to 3/8 inch thickness.
Place pan in the refrigerator and allow chocolate to set for about 30 minutes.
The chocolate does not need to be completely firm.
Melt white chocolate in a double boiler and stir in 1/4 teaspoon food grade peppermint oil.
Spread white chocolate over the semisweet chocolate.
Sprinkle over crushed peppermint candies. Gently press candies into the chocolate.
You want to press the candies into the chocolate.
This will keep the peppermint candies from being easily knocked off when stored.
Allow the chocolate to set up fully, this can take up to a couple of hours.
Once the chocolate has set break into pieces and store in an air tight container.
This can be enjoyed for about two weeks after preparation.
They key is not allowing the humidity to make the peppermints soggy.

Gingerbread Fudge

3 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Pour fudge into cookie cutters and decorate with sprinkles.
Let set, then wrap in cellophane and give as gifts.

Chili's Chicken Enchilada Soup

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups onion, diced
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup Masa Harina (found in the Mexican isle of your grocery store)
8 cups chicken broth
1 cup of canned crushed tomatoes
1 (15oz) can RED enchilada sauce
8oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
3 cups chicken, shredded (I buy a rotisserie chicken from the deli and pull the chicken off the bones)
Toppings
Tortilla strips
Sour cream

Heat a large (12 quart preferably) pot over medium high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once hot, add the onions and spices and saute until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl combine the Masa harina with 4 cups of chicken broth and whisk until combined.
Pour mixture into the large pot, and stir constantly, cooking, for 2-3 minutes. Mixture will become thick.
Pour in the remaining chicken broth, enchilada sauce and crushed tomatoes, stir and bring to a boil.
Add the cubed Velveeta cheese, and stir until melted. Stir in the shredded chicken.
Serve topped with sour cream and tortilla strips.

Denny's Moons Over My Hammy

2 slices sourdough bread
8 slices deli sliced ham (thin)
2 slices American deli cheese
2 slices Swiss processed cheese
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons softened butter divided use
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

To make the sandwich, first, scamble the eggs. In a small bowl combine the two eggs, and the milk. Whisk them together until they uniform. Heat a small non-stick skillet over low-medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons of butter of the skillet. Once the butter has melted add the eggs. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Stir the eggs continually until they have set firm. Set aside.

Wipe out the pan, and place the ham slices in the pan. Cook the ham for a couple of minutes, flip the ham, and cook on the other side for an additional 2 minutes. When the ham has heated through set aside.

Build sandwich by buttering one slide of bread, and putting buttered side down into the skillet, then add two slices of American processed cheese, then the eggs, then ham, the Swiss cheese, top with the remaining slice of sourdough bread, and butter the top piece of bread. Cook on low to low-medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until the bread is toasted brown. Cut sandwich in half when serving.

Pei Wei Thai Wonton Soup

Wontons
½ lb ground pork or beef
1 clove garlic, minced
1 green onion, white and light green parts finely chopped
2 tsp minced fresh ginger
1 ½ Tbs soy sauce
2 tsp rice vinegar
¼ tsp black pepper
15-20 wonton wrappers (I used square)
Broth
2 Tbs olive oil
½ c lemongrass, sliced into rounds (3 small stalks or one large stalk)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 Tbs ginger, roughly chopped
8 c chicken stock
1 c baby spinach, tightly packed
Garnish
Lime wedges
Thai basil

To make the wontons: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, garlic, green onion, ginger,
soy sauce, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Fill a small bowl with water.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface.
Place about 2 tsp of meat mixture towards one corner of the wonton.
Dip your fingertip in the bowl of water and lightly wet the edges of the square.
Fold wrapper diagonally over the meat and press edges together to seal.
Place wontons on a plate in a single layer.
To make the soup: Heat olive oil over medium-high in a large pot.
Add lemongrass, garlic, and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Using a mesh strainer, remove the solids from the stock.
Gently drop the wontons into the stock and simmer another 10 minutes.
Stir occasionally (and gently).
Add the spinach and simmer another 5 minutes.
Carefully spoon soup into bowls.
Garnish with lime and Thai basil.

Be that as it may, it’s about the developmental years. You’re not conceived a criminal.’Dan Gilroy, who composed and coordinated the film, said the cases investigated in the film mirrored a ‘hugely essential issue in our nation’.’Our jail framework needs change at a basic level,’ he said. ‘We have the most astounding imprisonment rate of wherever in the Western world… It’s not racially equivalent, it’s not socio-financially equivalent.

I, Tonya full movie

The film left me feeling that despite everything I have no clue how that happened. Her mentor is thoughtful, truly, and we learn in the first place that she had bizarre ability from the time she was what LaVona calls “a delicate four” years of age. Yet, the vast majority would disintegrate under the sort of steady manhandle that Tonya Harding experienced for the duration of her life. How could she do it? The ultra-savagery that the film concentrates on is shocking and energizing. IT WAS one of the greatest outrages in wearing history — a story so soaks with interest, that 23 years on, it’s propelled a noteworthy Hollywood motion picture.

Pizza Hut Pan Pizza

For the dough
1 1/3 cup water at 105° F
1/4 cup non-fat dry milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 package dry yeast
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for the dough)
6 ounces vegetable oil (2 ounces per pan)
Butter-flavored non-stick cooking spray
For the pizza
1 cup pizza sauce (see below)
Italian sausage, crumbled, cooked, and drained
Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Fresh mushrooms, sliced, sauteed in Italian seasoning

Combine the yeast, sugar, salt, and dry milk in a large bowl.
Slowly stir in the warm water.
Let sit for two minutes.
Stir in the 2 tablespoons of oil.
Add the flour and stir until a dough starts to form. Continue stirring until the flour is absorbed.
Remove the dough to a very lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes.
The dough will form a wonderful consistency and smooth texture.
Add 2 ounces of oil to each of 3 9" cake pans. Make sure the oil is spread out evenly in the pan.
Divide the dough into 3 equally-sized balls.
Roll each ball out to a 9" circle and place in the pans.
Spray edges of dough with the non-stick spray.
Cover the pans with a dish towel or a plate and place in a warm area (around 78° F) and let the dough rise until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat oven to 475° F.
Divide sauce between pans. Add sausage, cheese, and mushrooms, or whatever toppings you desire.
Bake pizzas for about 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and hardened and the cheese is melted.

Pizza Sauce

1/4 cup olive oil
3-5 cloves garlic, chopped
2-3 shallots, chopped
3 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
3 tablespoon fresh marjoram, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
1 cup dry white wine
1 large can diced tomatoes
1 large can chopped tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried)

Heat oil over high heat.
Add garlic, shallots, thyme and marjoram and saute for 3 minutes.
Add wine and reduce by 1/2, about 3 minutes.
Add the two cans of tomatoes. Simmer, stirring often, for 7 minutes.
Add 1/2 -3/4ths of the can of tomato paste, sugar, and hot pepper flakes.
Simmer an additional 7 minutes, stirring often.
Add salt and pepper to taste and add the basil, cook another 1 minute.

Snowflake Sugar Cookies

For the cookies:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups flour

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until soft and creamy. Slowly add powdered sugar and beat until well combined. Add in egg, almond extract, vanilla, salt and flour and continue to mix until smooth. Chill dough until firm, at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Roll out dough on a well floured surface until it is 1/4 inch thick. Cut out cookies with floured cookie cutters and carefully transfer them to the prepared cookie sheets. Bake cookies for 6-9 minutes. Cookies should NOT brown – with the snowflake tips it’s easy to overbake them so be extra cautious. Let cool completely on cooling racks before frosting.

For the icing:
2 Tbs meringue powder (found at any craft/baking store)
4 cups powdered sugar
6 Tbs water
blue liquid food coloring

Place all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer.
Using the paddle attachment, beat frosting on low until matte and smooth, about 7-8 minutes.
Remove icing and divide into two separate, covered containers: 2/3 of the icing in one container and 1/3 in the other.
To the first container (2/3 of the icing) add about 3 drops of blue food coloring, or until it is your preferred shade of blue.
Stir well and cover both containers.
Starting with the blue container, dilute frosting with water so it is a pipeable consistency,
but be careful and only add a tiny bit of water at a time because it dilutes rather easily.
When the icing is at the right consistency for piping and place it in a piping bag fit with a small, round tip.
I used a #2 tip for outlining these cookies. Pipe thin, smooth outlines on each of the cookie and set aside.
Once all of the outlines are piped, add the remaining blue frosting back to the blue container and dilute it to a “flooding” consistency.
Make it thin enough that it is easy enough to spread within your outline. Using a spoon, flood each cookie.
You can use a toothpick to help guide the flooding into tough corners.
When you finish, cover the blue frosting and let cookies dry for at least 3 hours.
Dilute the the white icing to a pipeable consistency like the you did for the blue outline.
When the icing is at the right consistency for piping, place it in a piping bag fit with a small, round tip.
I used a #2 tip for the detailing.
Detail your cookies as desired, but make sure to move quickly because the frosting does dry quickly.
Add pearls and sparkles.
Repeat steps with each cookie and let them harden overnight before placing them in an airtight container the next day.

Olive Garden Lobster Ravioli

1 pound fresh pasta dough, rolled into lasagna sheets (you can also use 50-60 wonton wrappers)
3 lobster tails
1/4 pound uncooked shrimp, peeled
1 stick butter (8 tablespoons)
2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
8 ounces ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper
TOMATO CREAM SAUCE
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced or grated
1 (14 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
kosher salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Prepare the pasta dough, cover and set aside.
Place the lobster tails on a cutting board, using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut through the top shell lengthwise.
Gently pull the shells apart away from the meat.
Heat a large pot of water and steam the lobster tails and shrimp for about 7 seven minutes.
I do not have a steamer basket so I just used my metal mesh strainer and it worked great.
I would start checking the shrimp at about 4 minutes and maybe flip them around to the other side.
Remove the lobster and shrimp and allow to cool. Once cool, finely chop the meat.
You basically want to mince the meat.
Set aside.
Place butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and immediately begin whisking.
Stir as it bubbles, and after 2-3 minutes or so you should see brown bits appear on the bottom of the pan.
Remove from heat immediately and continue to whisk for another 30 seconds or so.
Add the garlic stir well. Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, lemon juice, crushed pepper flakes (if using), salt and pepper.
Stir in the chopped lobster and shrimp.
Add the ricotta cheese and mix well. Set the filling aside.
Roll you pasta dough into lasagna sheets and heavily flour your ravioli mold or counter.
Lay one sheet of pasta on the mold, making sure the entire mold is covered.
Take a tablespoon of filling and place into each well.
Spritz the pasta sheet with a little water.
Lay the second sheet on top and run a rolling pin over to seal.
Turn the mold over and release the ravioli.
