Lol how about least likely to get into project.

I am nearly done the favorites. For now, you can only have five favorites, but that will change.

Meanwhile, read my new recipe:


Creamy Potato and Ham Bake
Meal Type: Main Dish
Difficulty:Medium

Ingredients:
-10-20 Yukon Gold Potatoes
-1/4 Cup of Flour
-1/2 Cup of Butter
-1/4 Cup of Milk
-1/2 Cup of Grated Cheddar Cheese
-Ham (Leftovers is fine)

Steps:
1. Peel the potatoes. Slice the each potato into half inch slices so all the potatoes are in round pieces. Brown these potatoes in a pan with some vegetable oil (only for a minute or so) and then take out and lay on a plate.

2. Get a medium-large casserole dish and arrange half of the potatoes in the bottom so they are snug. Then, on top of the first layer, add another layer. Continue until all your potatoes are gone. (2-3 layers recommended, no higher).

3. Cut up your butter and melt it in a pan. When the butter begins to bubble, gradually start to add the flour, stirring constantly. Remove all lumps so it is smooth. This will make our Roux, which is the base for our cream sauce. Quickly add your cheese, still stirring. Add the milk to loosen it up (you can add more or less depending on how thick you want the sauce, I wouldn't go any more than 1/2 cup).

4. Pour the sauce into your casserole dish onto the potatoes (make sure you get sauce on them all. If there does not look like enough sauce, feel free to make more the same way as before). Set that aside.

5. Get your ham. Cut into two centimeter squares. You should have a cup or two of these, but not too much more. Sprinkles over the potatoes into the sauce.

6. Put this in the oven. Cook on a low or medium heat in the oven until sauce is bubbly and the potatoes are cooked through. Warning: this may take a while.

IT's a phony.

Bump
By the way, NeilWest, feel free to post any of your drinks here, as long as they aren't alcoholic 

Type: Entree

Meal : Fish and Chips

For the fries:
1 gallon safflower oil
4 large Russet potatoes
Kosher salt
For the batter:
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Dash Old Bay Seasoning
1 1/2 pounds firm-fleshed whitefish (tilapia, pollock, cod), cut into 1-ounce strips
Cornstarch, for dredging

Directions
Heat oven to 200 degrees F.

Heat the safflower oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven (my house's oven  ) over high heat until it reaches 320 degrees.

slice the potatoes with the skin on. Place in a large bowl with cold water.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and Old Bay seasoning.  Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Drain potatoes thoroughly, get rid of any excess water. When oil gets hot, submerge the potatoes in the oil. fry for 2 to 3 minutes until they are pale and floppy. Remove from oil, drain, and let it cool.

Increase the temperature of the oil a bit. Re-immerse fries and cook until crisp and golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and drain on rack. Season with kosher salt while hot and keep in the oven.

Allow oil to return to the original degree. Lightly dredge fish strips in cornstarch.  dip the fish into batter and immerse into hot oil. When the batter is set, turn the pieces of fish over and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain the fish on the roasting rack. Serve with malt vinegar.

I invented this originally... But my mom fixed all the imbalances and all that stuff.

Sounds good 
In fact, Burgers is Tuesday's BBQ food of the day.

Can somebody give me simple cooking lessons please? I'm a boy who's wanted to learn cooking for so long now.
