[Katastrophe]

Kinda funny story related to cooking here. A fine dinner is how I began to woo Mrs. Kat when we started dating. I picked up some nice New York Strip steaks and a couple of lobster tails, and had the future Mrs. Kat come over for dinner at my Dad's home (I was house sitting for him that week). Dad gave me free reign to use either his charcoal or gas grill. I chose the gas one, as I had a "smoke box" that I could put mesquite chips in, and regulate heat and the intensity of the smoke at the same time.

Dad didn't tell me that the igniter on his gas grill was broken and did not work. Apparently, I didn't let the grill air out long enough before I tried to light the grill with a long fireplace match. BAROOOOOOOM! Giant fireball erupts. I must have had the fastest reaction time known to man, as I escaped injury. Anyway, I quit shaking long enough to cook a fantastic meal with the steak, lobster, baked potatoes and a nice salad. The future Mrs. Kat arrives and we have a great time. As she's leaving to go back to work (she was working nights as a peace officer at the time), she tells me, "You must have had a hell of a time with the grill. Look at your arms."

All of my arm hair was singed off from the fireball. I felt like the hugest dork on the planet at that exact moment. But, she saw through all that and still decided to marry me.

I still cook, but we have the local fire department on standby now.

Kat... :rotflmao:

that was funny, i don't care who ya are.

Warren, that was truly an interesting experience.

never had buffalo before.

the sun-dried tomatoes and mozzerella were to die for, but a lot of the cheese melted through the patties... he made them really thick, since the meat was so lean. so they turned out very tender. not gamey at all, juicy, and almost had a sausagey taste, if that makes any sense.

would do it again, definitely.

y'all take care, it's movie night before he has to leave us in the morning.

I'm the main cook here at home as well. I make a real mean potato soup

Great story Kat!

I don't think buffalo is gamey, just lean.

I'm glad you had a great meal with your byproxy, CB!

hey cb....glad you liked the buffalo....mozzarella melting through the patties sounds great to me...i've had buffalo a couple of times and enjoyed it....having been a chef in a previous life i always enjoy trying new types of food! there is a story floating around somewhere on the fret with my experience with duck tongues on night in nyc....not my favorite food by far....although i really enjoyed ostrich that i had one evening in a cool little restaurant in nyc once.

And kat...that story is great....while i was in the restaurant biz i never had any hair below my wrists....never thought about it until after i got out of the business and the hair on my hands started growing back! I guess putting my hands in 600 degree ovens all the time kept the hair permanently burned off!

It was also mentioned here:

it must be that the gastronomic horror that is
duck tongue has taken over a third of Warren's brain & is forcing him to drown out the tase with single malt.

But I think they first "came up" in this thread with the quaint title:

"102 members and only a few members post everyday?"

which begs: "post peeps post!"

Warren you should try CB's byproxy recipe. Grind up those waggily little tongues with melting mozzeralla & sun-dried tomato.

Yummmm Duck Tongueburger.

Not grisly at alluke: .

pulled this one up b/c i must publicly apologize to Shiner.

he took on [oof, i'm stuffed] the philly cheesesteak tonight.

never done that one before.

he pummeled the ribeye instead of trying to thinly slice it, sort of like schnitzel... [i digress, apologize already]

when we were planning the meal last night, we had a debate about the cheese. he was watching bobby flay and said 'must use cheez whiz'

:messedup: was my response. provolone.

he did both tonight, and he wins.

and [pats a very full tummy]

he did an Awesome Job.

thanks, Honey.
