Beef Stock: Coffee Drinkers Get In Here.

[tier1bro]

Aside from the shit I eat out of vending machines I typically cook all my own shit. It's over all cheaper then going out or buying pre made processed shit. I also enjoy cooking and the kids like learning how to cook. They can both make there own eggs and the female knows how to do a lot of prep work for me.  I've got her hooked on lemon pepper chicken breast fried in cast iron with jalapenos and sunflower seed oil.

i have about 40 cast iron pieces. i love using them and cooking with them. i don't cook anything based on a recipe, i cook to taste. 90% of the time i just cook meat on fire, actual fire from actual wood, usually mesquite wood from tejas. if i run out of mesquite i will use hickory. 

"don't flame me bro" - i use a packet of mix for cornbread (i don't like cornbread, i like biscuits) with some finely chopped ja-lap-en-O's in a cast iron skillet with a huge amount of crisco (veg based). it fries the bottom 1/4 of the loaf and makes almost like a crunchy pie crust on the bottom. it is a major hit with everyone until they find out it is a packet (i think it is called "cotton candy" or some bullshit). then they try to replicate it and it never turns out like mine, then they love me again and ask if i will make more. 

i also make a "mexican street corn" (you know the corn on the cob that chillis, applebys and all those places sell now with all the shit on it) OFF THE COB in a cast iron skillet. that is FIRE. i have no idea what i put in it. it's basically canned corn (canned corn is crunchiest like corn on the cob) left to drain for a couple hours, some mexican spices (heat), some fancy cheese like eye-talion type that comes in a bowl already shaved thin, everglades seasoning, basically what ever you can get into the skillet. fry it, use a screen over the skillet, cause it'll start popping everywhere. add about 1/10th of the corn a few minutes before you add the rest, in the end these will have become almost "burnt" it adds color and flavor to the skillet, like grilling corn on the cob you get a couple kernels that burn. 

the cornbread and corn can both be ready in like 20 minutes, the go pretty good with a steak. 

my fave with steak though is grilled asparagus (drizzle with oil, season with salt, pepper, and everglades, put em on the cool side of the grill), red and green bell peppers treated same as asparagus and put over the fire with the meat. they take about 20 minutes. you wanna blister the peppers, then move them to the cool side. the asparagus is great the tips get super crunchy, then your piss stinks the next day.
