Maybe what he was implying was that
ceral - milk = 0
Which is a debatable depending on the cereal choice, but still an interesting theory.

This might look complicated, but it's really easy:

take a couple of boneless pork chops, eggwash+flour.
heat some butter in a heavy pan, medium heat, put porkchops in.

Cook about 5-10 minutes (depending on thickness) then flip. After you flip throw in about 8oz of sliced mushrooms and a small onion sliced really thin.

Leave the heat on medium till the new side of the chops start to brown, then lower the heat and pour some red wine in.

Cover the pan and let it all stew for 10-15 min till the mushrooms and onions are tender. Eat

An ENTIRE bottle of worcestershire sauce? Good God, man. Ain't that a bit of overkill?

He's gotta be talking about a bottle WAY smaller then what I'm used to buying. Do they sell it in shot sized bottles?

White Sauce for Pasta

1 Stick of butter
1 16 oz (I think) carton of heavy cream
1 egg yolk
2-3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 TBS olive oil
5 oz of parmasian cheese (pre-grated is ok, but can be hard to melt due to preservatives)

In a side bowl mix the egg yolk and heavy cream, do not whip. I suggest whipping the egg yolk first and slowly adding the heavy cream.

Fry up the garlic in the olive oil over med to med-high heat.

Add the stick of butter and melt slowly, DO NOT BURN THE BUTTER.

SLOWLY (and I mean SLOWLY) add the cream mixture to the butter mixture. Mix well and keep over med to med-high heat.

Slowly melt cheese into the heavy cream and butter mixture. About 1/4 cup at a time or less. Once all the cheeze is added keep simmering until it gets a thicker consistency. I usually add some basil, oregeno, and parsley to the mix, but it's not really necessary.

Pour over cooked noodles, peas, carrots and maybe shrimp and serve w/ Garlic Cheese bread for a meal that will impress.

Here's a VERY easy appetizer that makes you look like you know what your doing.

1. Buy an artichoke
2. Wash artichoke and place in boiling water.
3. Boil for 10-15 minutes until artichoke leaves (I guess that's what they are) start to soften and peel back a little.
4. Melt some butter
5. Take artichoke out of water. Let sit until it's no longer extremely hot. Pull leaves off, dip and butter and scrape the bottom part on the inside of the leaf off with your teeth.
6. It's pretty tasty, and you don't have to worry about eating the wrong part because everything else aside from the pulpy/meaty part at the bottom won't come off.

Obviously it's not a meal, but it does make a nice side dish. Additionally, most chicks have never had artichoke made (if you can even call it that) for them so it's a plus.

Salisbury steak is pretty easy and an ok change if you're eating hamburgers a lot. Basically cook a hamburger, take it out and turn the heat to medium, medium low maybe. Melt 1T butter in the pan, then kind of eyeball how much fat total is in there. Take that amount of flour and gradually whisk it in. If it's a bit thin, add more flour; too thick, add a splash of water or milk. Then just pour over the hamburger patty and it's salisbury steak.

We make something similiar, make some hamburger patties and cook them until they are browned good but probably not cooked all the way through. Drain the fat, add a can or two of cream of mushroom soup. We use the big family size can for 4 or 5 patties. Make mashed potatoes and open a can of kernal corn. Cook the patties for 10 or 15 minutes in the soup, use the soup as gravy. Good.

There's a million types of rubs and seasonings for chicken. I have one that was just from the generic "international" aisle of my grocery store that is some wasabi and pepper dry stuff that you just coat your chicken with then either bake or throw in a pan. tasty and plenty of options.

Some more real recipes:

Shrimp fajitas:

Cut up red peppers and put in frying pan in a little oil. Cut up onions, add to oil. In five minutes add thawed precooked shrimp (tails off). Toss on some cayenne and black pepper and salt.

Separately, open can of black beans, strain, put in dish. Throw some preshredded cheese in dish. Microwave some tortillas for 30 seconds, put on plate.

If you want, cook some instant rice.

turkey chili:

get a big pot, put a little oil in, add ground turkey over medium heat til it browns. add some chopped onions, let cook for minute or two. then add some tomatoes sauce, a few cans of red beans, a few cans of black beans, a teaspoon of cayenne and a tablespoon of cumin. bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer on very low heat for however long you like. (i usually wait an hour, but you don't have to). serve covered with cheese and tortilla chips. plenty for days.

make some box instant cornbread on the side.


mini turkey burgers:

mix up some ground turkey and chopped onions and spices, form into mini patties. toss them in a pan. toss some turkey bacon in separate pan. heart dinner rolls into over. cut up some lettuce. make burger.
