I just finished my dinner. A very special dinner which I made all by myself based on my grandmother's secret recipe (I made some modifications). I want to share it with you. I think you will agree with my decision to compete for Top Chef >>> Photo essay

[THANK YOU Red Wine e aziz for the creative design above.]

Agree with Faramarz

He is right, you can definitely benefit from a culinary course. I can't believe you went through all that trouble to make burger. Could you not think of anything more laddish? Now my suggestion: use the grill to make some nice steaks and server them with salad and some nice bread. Use your oven for some foil wrapped Salmon (just add garlic, salt and black pepper) serve with salad and small portion of rice. Do not forget the red Bulgarian wine for the first and a bottle of dry white wine for the second. Much easier and quicker than making burger and chips, and your date will be singing your praise too.

Faramarz jaan I disagree on Nescafe, though this 1 is in box

by Anonymouse on

In Iran people go crazy over Nescafe packets and I brought back a few box of them.  For Iranians in this day and age (age of Islamic Republic :-) Nescafe is the sign of coolness!

I got so carried away with these Nescafe packets that I overdid it and now can't get a taste for it.  I guess I have to give it another year so the taste can come back.

So based on the above JJJ is as much correct in serving Nescafe to his dates as you are serving shole zard on your dates! 

Everything is sacred

JJ, We need to send you to a culinary school

1. I noticed that you had a jar of Arrabiata sauce in your kitchen. That’s just the spicy (red pepper flakes) Marinara. No self - respecting bachelor will ever buy that! Either make your own marinara or just buy it and add the chili peppers.

2. If you get tired of the red sauce, try pesto, carbonara, puttanesca sauces. They are all very easy and will guaranty a successful date at your place. Get some of that cheap Hungarian red wine too.

3. Instead of making French fries, boil your potatoes until you can barely get a knife in them. Then slice them thinly and do a quick fry with olive oil. Salt generously while you let them sit on a paper towel. It is healthier and tastier than the regular fries. And your place will not smell like McDonald for several days.

4. Make your burger on a grill or on a surface that allows the fat to drip. The buns look good.

5. Finally, for god sake, you live in Europe, get a coffee grinder and an espresso maker. It shows seriousness and commitment to your dates! Nescafe is like a teabag!

Thanks Monda. I did cut the cherry tomatoes in half :)

The flower situation: Every couple of days I proon the shamdoonis in front of my window. Instead of throwing away the half-shriveled flowers, I deposit them on top on the pile in the vase. Another brilliant innovation of mine.


Monda

JJ, a tip or 2

by Monda on

photo essay is pretty cool. 1) how about slicing your tomatoes next time? unless of course you don't mind cleaning your glasses with your shirt each time you take a bite of that burger. 2) how about watering the poor red flowers on the buddha? :)
