LOBSTERS with brown butter

Last night I noticed the Lobsters were on sale at my local grocery store. $4.78 each WOW!! Really!! My Friday baked chicken dinner got upgraded to Lobster Feast.

Boil the lobsters!! If you dont want the lobster to cuddle up pierce a knife into the meat and boil as usual, the knife will keep the lobsters shape. Once your lobsters are done drain, cool, and cut in half

Slice shallots,garlic, leeks and set aside. Heat your frypan add BUTTER! no subsitutes!!! Melt down and add leek,garlic,shallot stir until the leeks turn translucent or to your preference-after all you will be the one eating the lobsters!

Once your butter has browned add lobsters and enjoy!

or you can do the following:
add sliced ginger and green onions while you are browning your butter
add grated cheese, cheese dip and enough milk to make a thick sauce
add LOTS of fresh ground balck pepper and omit the garlic
add coconut milk and lots of onions enough to make soup
the options are endless!!!

Finadeni tomatis w/a twist

To my familia that enjoys finadeni tomatis (pickled tomatoes) I was bored one night & decided to pimp my finadeni up a notch or two.

you will need:

• Tomatoes (red/yellow) -hopefully they are from your garden
• Jalapeno
• Finadeni sauce -see below

Finadeni sauce:

• soy sauce
• vinegar
• thinly sliced onion
  
• chili sauce - if your fortunate to have Saipan doni "go for it" pika-ai munge

Steps: (for sauce)
Mix to your tongue liking, the spicier the better & set aside

Steps:

1. slice your tomatoes in 1/2
2. divide into two and set the 1/2 aside
3. grill 1/2 of your tomatoes -just enough to burn the skin but not mushy
   
4. grill your jalapeno -just enough to burn the skin
   
5. salt & pepper your 1/2 of tomatoes
6. arrange on platter -1/2 grilled, 1/2 seasoned & so forth
7. drizzle the finadeni sauce around your tomatoes
8. add the seasoned sliced onion

Enjoy ; )

Twice cooked mussels ; )

After coming home late from work on a Friday evening I had to cook something quick & very inexpensive. As I opened my fridge I noticed I had a bag of mussels. Knowing the mussels give out a very strong fishy odor when cooking I decided to boil them first.

You will need:

• I bag mussels
• ginger (sliced)
• onion
• kimchee base
• jalapeno peppers
• butter & lot's of it ; )

Steps:

1. Boil mussels (drain & set aside)
2. heat pan and add butter
3. add onion & garlic
4. add mussels
5. salt/pepper to taste
6. add more butter (to your liking)
7. when heated thru add kimchee base
8. add jalapeno
   
9. Enjoy

I don't use measurements and I don't think anyone should. Using measuring cups & spoons to me is like just plain old "BORING" "STRAIGHT" & does not cater to my taste buds. So honey when you cook, cook to your hearts content ; )

BACK TO SCHOOL

Back to school means hungry children @ 3:00. Need to make sure my boys are eating healthy. No chips,soda or candy in the house for me. No sir. Gotta double my list on the milk jug x 3 & lot's of fruits. My boys are still at the age where they still listen to mommy (thank you Lord) so whatever mommy cooks, however she gets creative they will eat it.

I will be posting pictures and menus later. TBA.
