As I'm just a boy who can't say no (to a challenge). I thought I'd have another stab at the golden balls (I've just crossed my legs for some reason). So here is my entry for the Recipe for Romance Contest! If it's not there when you hurry off to vote for me, it means it'll have gone the same way as dB's entry. The ideal setting is on the balcony of a small villa deep in the Sierra Nevada, watching the sun go down. Appetizer – Toast fingers delicately flavoured with marmita. Beverage – Cava, preferably Catalan, they are fiercely jealous, you might have to steal it off one. Main course – Chicken breasts marinated in white wine. Beverage – Galician white wine, preferably Ribeira Sacra, force may be necessary here too. Dessert – Honeydew melon Beverage – Orujo de hierbas, no force required. Recipe for chicken breasts: Ingredients 1 chicken 3 glasses of white wine salt pepper herbs Directions Drink one of the glasses of wine. Wring the chicken’s neck. Some prefer cutting the head off, but this can be messy. Dip the chicken in boiling water, then pluck. Cut off the head and feet (don’t throw these away, they can be barbecued later). Gut the chicken (again, save the entrails for stock). Drink the second glass of wine. Cut off the wings and legs, split the chicken along the breastbone and fillet. Skin the fillets. Rub the breasts gently with salt, pepper and herbs and put in oven dish. Add third glass of wine. Bake in oven for 20-30 minutes depending on taste. I cooked this once. The order of the dishes, and the timing, is very important – first fingers, then breasts, and only then to the honeydew. This always gives the best results. ˇQue aproveche! |

I crawled along the floor for miles, dragging Chocolate chains. But I made it and voted for the Marmite boy.  Tone. 
| ||
5/17/2008 9:37 am |
Marmite??  OMG  How romantic can that be  Marmite  never in my kitchen.Can't you think of something more exotic? Maybe if we put our heads together we can put the practical with the romantic and get a nice concoction together. Can we have some avocados please? And some strawberries covered in hot chocolate, dipped in Baileys  If you love someone, set them free

hahhahaahah good ones of you also here is mine A Recipe for Romance 100% proved and inspired by Misty and Riny. I take my own adds to make it " Original " MY RECIPE FOR ROMANCE IS CALLED " RECIPE A LA RINY AND MISTY" Cocktails Heineken with drops of sault on the glass.You might add a lil Cola for diversion. Preferable just Heineken as you dont want to miss what she has to tell you about her friends Dinner menu Appetizer - Bread with some butter as this is what dutch restaurants offers..if not is not needed , he is just in the middle of his love declarations , he cant stop telling you how much he missed you. Beverage - Prosecco (sparkling wine) perfect to remember us our nights in Paris Main course - Dear ,we can choose chinese, italians , argentinian, australian or just stay home and try one of your canadians recipes, but as we are in hurry to catch the train to Amsterdam we can pick up some krokets or frikandels from walls Beverage - Honey,whats working with Merlot, sweeth kissed or wet kisses? in case of traveling grab some spa or cola from drinkautomaat. Dessert - Hmmm sweetheart some pieces of chocolate lays on your nose, let me get it myself from there i wont want them to waste. After all we must travel again 30 km far awar to get new bosche ballen from Jan de Groot Beverage - Coffe darling, in the way you love to make it, you know i am going to miss your dutch way of making coffee.. Dessert recipe for Bossche Ballen Ingredients 1 One couple deeply in love 1 One curios man as the one who inventen Jan de Groot 1 One city whith great culture, clean streets and warm people Some rain and wind to spacy the receipt. Some chocolate added, Some slagroom few kilos of kisses, a long row at entrance to make it more exciting Wait half an hour or more in a row hugging one in another making space under umbrella till you feel yourself melted into your partener. Purr one douzend kisses and licks but not more otherwise you get into troubles Be carefull at your tongue when you twist the name of bosche ballen Tips 1. dont buy more then you think you can handle, they are so delicios that you will have terrible sorry if you leave there even one small drop of it. Tips 2. Pray to God that some chocolate is messing up on your partener's face.If you dont lick it from there the taste has not the same magic. Tips 3. During you eat it, french kiss your partener. Is famous that the taste of the chocolate from your mouth makes a better mix with the slagroom from your partener mouth. Is a secret of this mixture that nobody exposed. just you must do it in this way. To have the taste during a long time in your mouth you must keep kissing your partener.... At all of this you can add bittercherish liqueur. But i advice u better not...why to spoil the taste of such romatic kisses ? The secret of my menu is that offers hundres of variations... I can also tell you a romanian variant of it.

Since when is roast chicken fancy? I just wanted to write about killing, gutting and preparing the poor bird. Contest is going okay, I think I'm in the running for something, not sure what, but something...... Stews are great. I cook them when I can, but it's a bit too hot at the moment.

They're the worst.
| ||
6/13/2008 2:06 pm |
(alas,nothing is perfect in this crazy world.) a rough time now?having that new ball?!impossible! good night!

Not even new balls can change the world. Good morning
| ||
6/20/2008 1:23 am |

6/20/2008 4:23 am |
Needing some bigger type miracles these days... ...or bigger balls, not sure which.

(a friend in need is a friend indeed.) Oh,sooo sorry to hear that!Can I help you?
| ||
6/23/2008 5:38 am |
If you could turn my bosses into clear thinking, sensible people, I would be very grateful. (a friend in need is generally a pain in the neck.)
| ||
6/24/2008 9:25 am |
*a deeeeep sigh* I wish I could do that for you,but...it's mission impossible. They can't strain your patience for an eternity,so just keep your nerve cells. Have a better new week,Mr Smooth Talker. (hmm,a pain in the neck?!what a language!!!.....then an enemy in your bed is...?!?)
| ||
6/24/2008 9:53 am |
If you wake up with an enemy in your bed, then you probably drank far too much the night before.
