Lemoncello Chicken in Curry Yogurt Sauce

Bout to go Bollywood on you. This dish is by far my favorite eastern influenced dish. The awesome thing about eastern dishes is that they use complex ingredients BUT they are simple to cook. While making this you can turn the heat up to scorching or if you have taste buds like mine make it as mild and savory as you can. I will save the jibbah jabbah for later, व्यापार के लिए नीचे उतरो देता है.

Apple Smoke Bacon Sandwich

If there is one thing in this world that has been bashed in our heads time and time again it's that sweet and salty things belong together. They love each other, they accentuate each others strengths and hide each others weaknesses. Like any great relationship they are a great team... then salt meets this fine chick named savory and he has a crazy idea. "Hey baby you do me just right but what if we added a +1 to our equation" 

(Warning: Men DO NOT actually use that line, NEVER. This only works with food... or alcohol. Take that last part how you want to ^_^). Yes my friends savory, salty, and sweet get it on like ain't nothing wrong. Getting busy now.

Serving:

1-2 (depending on if you share)

What you will need:

3-4 strips of thick cut hickory bacon

1 apple of your choice

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 Tbsp butter

1 slice cheddar

1 slice provolone

1 slice baby swiss

2 slice your favorite bread (I like ciabatta) 

1. Preheat oven to 350°F
2. Start cooking your bacon, should take about 2-3 minutes each side on a hot skillet. I find this better not crispy for this sandwich.
3. Slice apples into thin chips and toss in a hot skillet with butter and cinnamon. Cook the apples until you can fork into a sauce. Doesn't have to be complete mushy.
4. Take your bread and add one slice of any cheese, add your bacon and apple concoction, then finally add the rest of your cheese.
5. Place sandwich on a cookie sheet and back for 5-6 minutes or until toasty.

2 teaspoons water
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, slightly hot and melted
¼ teaspoon Kosher salt, or more to taste

(Optional) a bit of melted goat cheese

Screwed Apple Pie

I was a weird kid, I loved apples versus desserts. Golden delicious had my vote every time and any punk to be the first to judge me back then I would just throw my apple at their face. Discussion over. As the name suggest this drink taste like your grandma got crazy in the kitchen and put your uncles habits in her cooking. That one tasteless movie is correct, "Love is like a warm apple pie."  Uhmm let's make some love shall we.

1 shot Butterscotch liqueur 

1 shot apple pucker (making it hot is better)

1 shot apple pinnacle vodka*

1 shot whip cream pinnacle vodka

Polish off with sprite

Thin slice of green apple 

In a martini shaker add all the alcs with ice and shake like a woman of the night. Don't shake the soda for obvious reasons genius. Strain into a martini glass and add sprite, so leave room... maybe. Garnish with thin slice of green apple and mouth. Mumble pie baby. Cause this will get you mumbling drunk if you have too much.

*If you want more apple taste without getting rid of the alc add this.

Tom Collins

This drink is so dated. I give it mad respect for still being a popular drink from the 1800's. Mastered by the mix drink king himself Jerry Thomas, you could wash one back and feel like the great Gatsby. If you drink enough of them you might even feel like him in the morning... It's a joke ya'll he got hit by a car at the end. Don't act like you were going to read it. Put your monocle on and lets mix.

2 oz. dry gin
2 oz. lemon juice
1 tsp sugar syrup
Soda water
Slice of lemon
Single Cherry

In a tall glass filled with ice add gin, lemon juice, and syrup. Top with soda water and stir. Garnish with lemon slice and cherry. Bust out your top hat and drink.

Bullet Neat

This drink has man written all over it. Its simple, easy, and straight to the point. After you're done wrestling a bear or choking a horse with your bear hands (not a typo, real men have bear hands) you will want quench your thirst and rage with a drink tailored to your manliness. You know what time it is.

2 oz. of your favorite bourbon... done.

Pour into a rocked glass and enjoy. You expected more here right... well suck it up, no fruit in this drink. You're dealing with daddies pants now.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

I love cake son. LOVE IT! So I thought to myself, "F*#! I should drink a pineapple upside down cake!" Lo and behold this drink made perfect for the fat kid who loves cake and wouldn't mind getting tipsy off of it. I will admit there is no way to order this and sound like a real man. In fact you will sound like a real teeny bopper. After 3 or 4 of these though who gives a crap. Business time!

1 shot of Pinnacle whip cream vodka
1 shot Disaronno
1 shot Pinnacle Cake
Polish off with pineapple juice
1 cherry

In an iced tumbler layer each shot in the glass and finish it with the juice of the pine. Garnish with a cherry deep in the glass. Don't drink it yet! I want you to take a mental note of the nothingness you taste right now and then I want you to throw this drink in yo mouth hole. Indeed fat boy loves his cake.

Screwed Apple Sauce

Every proud American man should love the taste of apple sauce and if you don't you're a terrorist... or you really just don't like apple sauce in which case you should go to another drink. When I first made this I was wasted and I surprisingly remember how I made it the next day. In the midst of recreating this drink and replaying my sober state of the previous night I made it stronger and tastier. To business.

1 shot Cinnamon liqueur

1 shot apple pucker

1 shot apple pinnacle vodka*

1 shot whip cream pinnacle vodka

Polish off with sprite

Thin slice of green apple 

In a martini shaker add all the alcs with ice and shake like a woman of the night. Don't shake the soda for obvious reasons genius. Strain into a martini glass and add sprite, so leave room... maybe. Garnish with thin slice of green apple and mouth. Prepare to taste a drunk thanksgiving.

*If you want the original Apple sauce I made just leave this shot out.

Fettucini Alfredo

Here's your chance to get your Gordon Ramsay on. The traditional Alfredo was nothing but butter, parmesan, salt, pepper and pasta. Today it's gotten a little more complicated due to the easiness of acquiring ingredients and the natural evolution of cooking styles. I got the nerd crap out of the way so let me continue with what we are working with. Women like a man that can take a bunch of nothing and make it something. 


Warning to my lazy guys:
This will take your patience and maybe some practice. You will see why in a minute but, I assure you it's not that bad when you get the hang of it and damn is it good when you get it right.

Serving:

3-4 people

What you will need:

Pinch of oregano

1/2 Tbsp of parsely and some to garnish

1 cup of heavy cream

1 clove of garlic minced

1 teaspoon of salt to taste

1/4 cup parmesan and some to top

1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to taste

Note: if you ever see "to taste" it means taste it dummy

1 stick of REAL butter (margarine is absolutely disgusting)

1 pack of fettucini pasta (I recommend soft pasta for ease but dry pasta is fine)

Note: I didn't name a meat or veg cause the Alfredo is very easy to incorporate a protein or veg. My favorite is Tiger shrimps but, I have seen beef, chicken, broccoli, or mushrooms.

If you want to save time get two irons ready, one deep skillet and one boiling pot. 

1. Fill the boiling pot with water about 3/4 of way from the top. Once it bubbles add your fettucini and read the package for doneness. A watched pot never boils so let's get started on the Alfredo sauce.
2. Add heavy cream to your medium-high heat skillet and get it to simmer. Simmering is bringing it to boil but reducing the heat soon after, in this case reduce to medium and stir occasionally. 
3. Once the cream simmers add the butter, seasonings, and garlic. Tip: To melt faster cut the butter in smaller pieces.
4. When the cream thickens add the cheese, reduce heat to low-medium, and whisk until cheese is melted in. Tip: to check thickness it should coat the back of a metal spoon effortlessly.
5. Now that everything is done bring the sauce and pasta together and stir with wooden spoon. If you made a meat, vegetable, or mushroom add it. Garnish with parsley and parmesan.

Apple Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

So every night doesn't need to be swanky, super fancy, gourmet night. You can make something fun and familiar with a twist. This sandwich is awesome during a game or when you're chillin with your boys. Bust out some celery, bleu cheese, and turn on the game. These are also easy to make into mini sandwiches if you're throwing a sports party. Enough talk let's get down to business.

Servings:

1-2 people

What you will need:

4-6 chicken tender cuts

Some ciabatta bread

3 strips of pepper bacon (I only use thick cut)

1/4 cup of your favored buffalo sauce

Thin slices of fiji apple

Some onion slices

1 1/2 shot of Bourbon (so good)

salt & pepper to taste

1. Take skillet and do your bacon first, we are going to use the grease in that pan for the chicken. When the bacon is done set it aside. 
2. Season your chicken with salt and pepper (lite on the pepper) and toss in the still hot bacon pan. Should take 3-4 minutes both sides and when you are down to the last 1 minute from them being completely done hit the chicks with the bourbon. Get them drunk and let them burn off of the alcohol so you can put your sauce on them :) . 
3. So now you turn the heat off and put the buffalo sauce on the chicken. 
4. Construct your sandwich with ciabatta, apples, onions, drunken buffalo chicken, pepper bacon and lettuce if you really want to. Yeah I know I didn't put lettuce in the things you will need section, maybe cause you don't need it.

Session 3, Delicious

You dont always need to drink straight gasoline to be a man. Sometimes you just want something that taste great that also doesn't make you look like Richard Simmons. I will pre warn you that some of these drinks sound pretty girly but damn do they taste awesome, not to mention all of them will get you drunk pretty quick. But, remember we are not trying to get drunk. The only time you should be drunk is new years, bad family reunions, and bad blind dates that make you wish you were blind. Been there, wont admit to doing that.

Captain & Cola

Screwed Apple Sauce

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Screwed Apple Pie

Captain & Cola

You can most definitely have a cola at the bar, that is as long as it is mixed with something Jack Sparrow or Chuck Norris might brush their teeth with. Its simple and goes down crisp. Ordering this shows how laid back and easy going you can be.

1 1/2 oz Capt. Morgan Spiced Rum (I prefer Sailor Jerry)
6 oz cola
1 lime slice (so optional)

Add the Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum and cola in an ice-filled pint glass and stir it. Garnish the drink with a lime slice. Continue on being a man.

Black and Tan

Every guy likes beer but what could make a beer even better? Having two beers! You get the visual effect of a mad scientist and the appearance of a beer know it all with this drink. The drink actually has a lot of history to it as well... history that I am not going to google it for you since I don't give a crap because I am drinking beer. Get on my level.

1/2 pint Smithwick's Ale (or a pale ale of any sort)

1/2 pint Guinness Draught

Add the Smithwick's Ale to a pint glass, and then add the Guinness by pouring it over the back of a spoon. Yes pour over a spoon. This will keep the two beers from mixing giving you a split beer affect. Now you're set to get your Irish on. I have never met someone drinking this that didn't have a story to share.

Dirty Martini

Tell this man he isn't classy

I dare someone to say dirty martinis aren't classy. Honestly I think its the classiest drink you can have at a party. Often associated with black tie events, the dirty martini is not just classy it's a classic. When your Pappy was trying to score chicks he was probably sipping one of these. Users beware that this drink is not an everyday drink. It can either make you look pretentious or smug but, honestly chances are if you are at event drinking this then your most likely amongst the like.

1 1/2 oz Smirnoff Red Label Vodka

1 splash olive juice

1 olive

In a shaker with ice, vodka and olive juice shake and strain the drink into a martini glass. Garnish it with an olive. Then buy an Aston Martin and acquire a license to kill.

Session 2, Manly

Okay so here is where you can make yourself look like you're John Wayne's little brother. A manly drink should be something where your date ignorantly ask to try your drink and it kicks her right in throat. Giving you every right to make the Old Spice Man monocle smile face. 

Note: If for any reason your date takes your drink like a pro, invest in a ring or in some cases a therapist for father issues.

Kamikaze

Black & Tan

Bullet Neat

Session 1, Classy

Wine and Champagne are by default classy. Unless you drink that ish from a plastic cup, in which case you're a college student, you're sampling somewhere that isn't a vineyard, or your parents failed in raising you to be a decent person. So we will talk about grapes at a later date.

Classy drinks are drinks you can have while still maintaining some sense of style and pose. You can hold this drink and look like you mean business. Let those girls know you came prepared with daddy socks on and show them that's no clip on.

Disaronno Squeeze

Dirty Martini

Tom Collins

Kamikaze

You dont have to look like the Marlboro Man to drink like a man. Not to mention is sounds like your on a mission ordering one at a bar.

1 1/4 parts Quality Vodka like Grey Goose or Bel-V 

1/4 part triple sec

1/4 part lime juice or sour mix

Shake the vodka, triple sec, and juice together and serve in shooter glass.

Take one down while talking about all the mountain climbing you've been doing lately or maybe what your latest mission was that's "classified." 

Disaronno Squeeze

Subtle, light to the taste, looks good in a hand accompanied with a nice watch. This drink is simple and shows that you not only have manly charm but you have taste. Try this with lime instead of lemon sometime.

1 part Disaronno

Splash of lemon (lime is awesome as well)

Garnish with lime or cherry deep in the glass 

This is to be served in a tumbler on the rocks.

Saver this and enjoy the awesome conversations that follow. She will want to dance and if you're smart you will follow. 

How to: Steak

Your lady: *Rubs hands together excitedly* STEAK!

You: Here you are baby. (^_^)

Your lady: ...WTF is this. 

You: Steak boo, haha. Don't tell me you don't know what a steak is.

Your... friend: You call this dried up disk of what I assume was an animal a steak. Boy stop.

You: Where are you going? I worked so hard for that steak.

Your now ex: To the library to study cavemen and fantasize what it's like to be with a real man.

Ok so I was going to say some gender studies bulls*&! about how you don't need to be a "real man" to make a steak, which is true BUT real men should know how to make a steak. It's hard coded in your genes (unless you're Indian), your man-history, manistory, your taste buds. Every man should know what a good steak taste like. 

Wait before I proceed raise your hand if you're vegan. Is your hand up? GET OUT! 

Proof that God knows how to have a good laugh. Vegetarians... there is still hope for you but I need you to focus and stay with me.

I refuse to work with this... The dog can stay.

Grade:

We will begin with quality of steak, the grade. Just like in school but with steak, you want high marks. Steaks range from Canner to Prime in this order from heinous to godly.

Canner, Cutter, Utility, Commercial, Standard, Select, Choice, and Prime

So who doesn't make the cut (steak pun)?

You will never see (in a US grocery store at least) Canner through Commercial. If you found this in the store and you're thinking of saving money then I suggest you find another protein cause this is not the time to be playing your bargain huntin games. That's the kind of "meat" your dog eats, it's tough and tasteless. If you go on Wikipedia and search for beef there wont even be a description for Canner through Utility or you will get this one "U.S. Commercial - Low quality, lacking tenderness, produced from older animals." Standard is not worth talking about either, so that leaves us with Select, Choice, and Prime.

From Prime to Select. You can see I have my serious face on

• Select: Short story is Select is good for stews, broth, and meat pies. All things I don't make. NEXT!
• Choice: Choice is high quality and available in almost every store today. This grade of meat has the fat marbling you want and flaked muscle for tenderness.
• Prime: Prime has everything Choice has and more. It's the king of grades. The best restaurants use this grade. I try to stick with Prime but if you're on a budget then go with Choice.

Cut:

You have the grade you've been looking for and now you need to know what the butcher's options are. This is important cause the cut will tell you how you will prepare the meat, what to expect in taste/texture, and occasion. Yes the occasion.

Note: I am not putting up descriptions of cuts cause I want people to go talk to their butcher and educate yourself. I even mean his name. Hell, get to know his family. My butcher's name is Pete and his wife is due in 3 months. (inside note: if your butcher doesn't know where the new york strip comes from, t-bone, he isn't a butcher. He is a high-schooler with a summer job.) Don't google it.

Prepping and Cooking:

Finally the best part and better yet the easiest. Steak is surprisingly easy to cook. Maybe this is why men like it so much. Pretty much let it sit there and do its thing. Little work to be done. Do you know how most people f*&! up a good steak, trying too much or as a good friend of mine would say "Too much movement." I will explain later.

Before we season the beef we need it to soften up a bit with a marinade. We make this with an acids like vinegar or citrus juice and seasons which makes steak tender. I use cider vinegar lightly, with pepper and a hint of garlic. Splash it on and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. 

• My marinade: cup of cider vinegar, pepper, one clove of garlic minced and a dash of salt, not a lot and pepper to taste... and 1/4 cup of a dry red wine (chianti and noirs are perfect). When you're ready for the grill put coarse salt on but, not a lot and before it hits the heat.

Note: Some steaks don't need this process. Filet Mignon, Kansas City Strip, Loin, New York Strip, Porterhouse, Ribs, T-Bone, and Tenderloin to name a few. It doesn't hurt but they don't need it.

Make sure your grill has a hot 375°F and really hot side 450°F (if you do propane then just reduce the heat). Rub the grill slats with vegetable or grapeseed oil. Put your steaks on the really hot side of the grill for 1 minute then put on cooler side for the remaining 4-5 minutes. This is where the hard part is, DON'T TOUCH IT. Give each side 5-6 minutes on each face. When its time for the other face then do this process again. If you have extra marinade brush some after the flip. These directions will give you a medium rare steak. 

If you want medium add a minute to each side, if you want rare take a minute off each side and if you want well done I need you to follow the vegans cause I will not tell you how to ruin perfectly good meat. Malachi 3:10, read it. Jesus loved steak. That goes out to my vegetarians.

Maple Bacon Ice Cream

Yes my friends you read that right, I present to you maple bacon ice cream. Think about this gentlemen, have you ever noticed they sell sweet and salty snack on every shelf in the junk food aisle. That’s cause God got tired of not accepting people into heaven that he sent this little bit of awesome down to show us what we have been missing out on. Anyways this dish is perfect for a movie night. Let me set up the scene brah: popcorn is hot and greasy so she will be in no mood to cuddle after Orville Redenbacher gets his oily love butter everywhere, candy is nice only if its chocolate and most likely when she is done inhaling chocolate she will be in no sexy mood. This sweet, salty, pork infused desert has the kick of popcorn and the pleasantries of candy without being greasy (Bonus: it’s cold, so do the math space heater).

So lets get into what you need:

Serves: 4-6 people

Candied Bacon:

5-6 strips of cold bacon (thick cut is good for texture)

4 tablespoons of brown sugar

(optional but delicious) good pinch of black pepper

Maple Ice Cream:

Take your favorite vanilla bean ice cream and soften it in a big enough bowl One shot of brandy (spiced rum, or bourbon is good)

½ cup of maple syrup (REAL MAPLE SYRUP)

Note: I make my own ice cream but this is for everyday men so if you want to know how to make it from scratch email me. Beware you will need a ice cream maker or an old fashion churner.

Directions:

Take bacon while still cold so it’s easy to cut and dice into moderate bits. Cook on medium-high heat in a skillet for 5-6 minutes. Before its done add brown sugar, optional pepper and cook for 1-2 minutes or before sugar burns. Set aside on a plate when done. Now like I said I make my own ice cream but for this you can use semi-soften vanilla bean ice cream. Take ice cream in bowl and add shot of brandy, and maple syrup. Mix together till ingredients are thoroughly applied and then add bacon then repeat with the mixing. Put back into freezer till ready to serve.

If you did this right you should be sitting next to a cold woman in need of snuggling or whatever you crazy kids are into.

Intro

This blog at the moment is in Beta. The idea is to give guys tips, tricks, and suggestions on meals for the occasion. Ladies this doesn't mean you can't get anything out my site but this is aimed at your boyfriend trying to make you a "home cooked meal" out of that blue box he has on the stove. The post on here will range from simple to "that boy good" to "that boy trying to get laid tonight." Every now and then I will have a healthy, cheap, or exotic post.

Men we need all the help we can get, so I am here to give it. LEARN TO COOK. Seriously women like a man that can take care of himself. McD is not impressive brah and Red Lobster works the first time but you need a game plan. In the words of Jay-Z "I show you how to do this son"
