Here is a cool recipe that I tried yesterday. I bought a 13-oz box of cheese ravioli from Joe's Prime Meats. I put a speghetti cooker of water on the stove and simultaneously fried two sausages in a frying pan. When the water started boiling I put the raviloi in the water. I heated some speghetti sa...

I don't know. I think that experimentation has shown cream of mushroom to work best.

If you call Campbell's soup homemade.

-Mike

No. The key is to mix the beef and the soup in the bowl, because if you add the soup to the hot frying pan it will never come clean.

-Mike

Boil some water and add shell pasta. Brown some beef. Put beef in glass bowl. Add a can or two of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup to the beef (don't add water or milk or anything, just the contents of the can). Add pasta to bowl. Mix it up. Serves a bunch of people.

Put some water in the bottom of a rice cooker. Put in the tray and the broccoli. Turn it on. Separately, melt butter in shallow pan. Saute almond slivers in butter. When broccoli is cooked, put it in a bowl. Pour butter and almonds on top. Serve.

I happen to like broccoli. Particularly if it is stir-fired in sesame oil.

-Mike

Is this something that I would use my new 10-lb cast-iron wok for or is that the orange chicken?

There's Water Chestnuts in it already, but maybe instead of the bamboo, use snow peas or baby corn. Thats up to you.

Mmm, baby corn.

I don't like bamboo shoots. Can I use extra water chestnuts instead?

You could try skewering brussel sprouts then, but in general I think that asparagus is the easiest vegetable to barbecue.

-Mike

Take one half bunch asparagus and two cloves of garlic. Cut bottom off of asparagus. Cut up garlic. Put asparagus and garlic on aluminum foil. Pour on olive oil. Wrap up and cook on the grill for six minutes on each side.

Yes. Did you know eggs come out of a chickens butt?

I don't eat those, either. Chicken embryos. Yuck.
