anyone else here do the cooking?

Not sure if I can find garlic sausage locally.  If not would this do?

Never know 'til you try it. Give it a shot.

Okay, we're going old school Deutschland now, although this recipe was actually invented by meine mutter.

Kadoval and Glace

Cook some garlic sausage (sometimes referred to as German-style sausage). There used to be a place in Tarpon Springs that made great garlic sausage, don't know if it's still there. All beef is a lot better, but hard to find. Take a 10-12 inch section and chop it up. Set aside.

Make about a cup of pie dough. There are a million ways to go here. I use flour and butter. Add an egg and maybe a few spoonfuls of milk. I also put in just a touch of baking powder, but don't get carried away. I like to add cracked pepper here, but this is a great step for experimentation. Add whatever you want or nothing at all. I usually roll this out and cut it into small squares, but when it's time to cook this you can spoon it in if you're quick. Remember, it's going to swell up to about three times the uncooked size. Set aside.

Dice a large potato or a couple of small ones. Add to boiling water. When they're about half done, start adding the dough. This is a matter of timing and size. The smaller the pieces of potato and dough, the quicker they'll cook. You want them both to be finished at the same time. Work it out.

Drain the potatoes and doughwads. Add the garlic sausage and some chopped (white) onion, according to taste. Stir in a small container of sour cream. Salt and pepper to taste.

Even better reheated. Eat this every day and you should be able to gain about three hundred pounds a year.

That sounds awesome.

I think for optimal weight gain I would switch back and fourth between this and S&B's recipe haha.

Would be something great for a sunday meal though.

Cooked dinner for a lady friend the other night and this side dish literally got me laid on the spot:

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/oven-roasted-asparagus/

Ingredients

1 bunch thin asparagus spears, trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)


Directions

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Place the asparagus into a mixing bowl, and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss to coat the spears, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Arrange the asparagus onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness. Sprinkle with lemon juice just before serving.

just made tonight.  Never cared for asparagus before but this is really good.  Hope I get a hummer out of it.

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

This set pretty much works with anything. I toss my french fries in the same sort of mix and they're very tasty

If the hummer is successful...would you mind posting the steps/ingredients. I aspire to have one soon as well..

Step 1:  wait until your birthday
Step 2:  lay a big guilt trip on her over how she never does that for you

I may need a step 3 in order to counter the, "but my TMJ hurts too bad when I do that" excuse.
