The Cooking Thread
So Dragon and I were talking food, as is recently our wont, and I thought there might be a place for such discussion here. Not just pics of food, (we've all seen Epic Meal time, (if not, check it out), but stuff you actually make, eat and have thoughts on.
This week we were going to make Lasagna, but since it's a deload week and because it would torment my daughter Claire, I came back from work with zucchini instead of pasta. Of course, she immediately wanted to stab me, but settled for some good elbow shots.
Hunger prevailed, ( plus dessert blackmail), and she agreed to try it. Dragon suggested moussaka, and I looked at it and wanted to do it, but I think I'll save it for when Kelly gets back from town. Also, to do it well looks like work.
What I did instead was slice up and broil the two zucchini. While broiling, I sliced up some pepperoni and put it in with olive oil and fresh garlic to saute. After everything was lightly browned, I added extra lean ground beef, (that I got in a 2 for 1 sale - how Street, eh?) and cooked it enough to leave the meat just a little pink. I tossed in some oregano, salt, black pepper and..oh yeah, Rooster sauce.
When the zucchini was done, I put down a layer of tomato sauce and some more sliced pepperoni in a casserole dish.
Then a layer of zucchini, some meatsauce and cottage cheese. Some aged cheddar cheese, grated. Repeat layer, then add a lot of parmesan, more black pepper and bake at 350 C or so.

Also, the medievalists preceded us and there is a recipes thread on the Witcher forums - http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/16555-The-Recipes-Thread?p=489449#post489449
