060717 "How to Make Your Twinkie More Appealing."

Recipes even MEN can follow.
AND you already thought your Twinkie was just too delicious?
Just try this, using a microwave oven. 



I discovered/invented these delightful recipes while trying to be resourceful with ingredients at hand.





Recipe #1 - Kahlua Twinkie:
1) Place your Twinkie in a small cereal bowl.
2) SLOWLY pour about 1+ jigger of Kahlua over your Twinkie.
3) Place your Twinkie in the oven for approximately 10.3 seconds until warm or the cream filling starts to melt and ooze out. Make sure your Twinkie soaks up all the Kahlua.
4) Enjoy.


It tastes just like an expensive gourmet dessert at a very expensive restaurant.

MMmmmmm.
 
Recipe #2 - Roasted Caramel banana:
How to make your Banana more appealing.

1) Build a campfire.
2) Fork your banana.
3) Roast in the fire until foamy juices are oozing out with gusto. (You can’t keep it in the fire too long and burn it, better too long in the fire than not long enough).
4) Place your hot banana on a plate and use a sharp knife to make a “trap door” on top so the banana skin forms a “dish”,
5) Open the banana “door” from top to bottom. The banana should be quite mushy. With a spoon, spread the banana mush so it forms a grove from top to bottom.
6) Pour in caramel sauce (or hot fudge, Kahlua, etc).
7) Enjoy
(You can cheat and put your banana in the microwave for 3+ minutes with the same results).

It tastes just like an expensive gourmet dessert at a very expensive restaurant. MMmmmmm.


More handy cooking tips for Men (by Bert, Master Chef)
1) Your burnt soup is done when the smoke alarm goes off…. Add ½ cup of water.

2) Want formal dining? Put a place-mat in the bottom of the sink before eating.

3) Remove the paper from the can of Dinty Moore Stew before placing it on the burner.
(Note: Do not put out the fire with certain salad dressings, they burn too, I discovered).

4) Thaw out frozen pizza and TV dinners before eating, they’re not as crunchy that way.
(Better yet, Heat them first if you have time).

5) Don’t have any croutons? Popcorn makes a great substitute.


6) Catsup makes almost anything taste ok.


7) Place paper towels under hamburger to soak up the grease. Throw away hamburger, eat paper towel (less calories). Add catsup for more taste.


8) Nat reminded me... SPAM... , My Favorite. Spam can be used in so many ways, and if in a hurry, can chew on it right out of the can. Use your imagination and be creative with Spam. (It's Not just food anymore)

9) any suggestions?

  2. Swaggie - Hmm, I never thought of using Kahlua but I suppose it could be interesting?

  3. I hate camping, but I love the outdoors ... maybe I will try the banana recipe the next time I'm wrangled into sleeping outdoors.

  4. Hmm... well, not to ruin anyone's appetite, but during my first pregnancy, a good friend informed me that Twinkies are a good thing to eat because they taste just as good coming up as going down...

  5. Black - You can make them over a fire in your backyard..we do it all the time. OR you can pop the bananna in the microwave for 3 minutes... same thing.

    Carol - Um, I prefer them going down.

    Swag - Is there a hidden message there?

  6. It takes exactly 25 seconds to explode a Twinkie in the microwave. It only takes 1 second for women to explode when they find the mess. ;- )

    Campfire bananas are the best! Chocolate bars, peanuts, caramel, and marshmallows are all good accompaniments. We stuff the goodies into the slit and wrap it up in tinfoil.

    I am definitely trying the Kahlua Twinkie the next time we have those annoying cakes in the house. Or with Amaretto. With a stretch of the imagination, it could be a little like Tiramisu. I admit... I have a big imagination.

  7. Ark - thanks I forgot to warn people of the potential explosion. We just roast the banannas same as brats, I suppose with a grill over the fire tinfoil method would be good. With Kahlua, you'd never know it's an annoying Twinkie... Mmmm.

    Nope. No hidden message. Unless you consider 250 mgs of sodium a secret.

    The campfire bananas sound yummy!!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Swag - I've convinced myself that the Kahlua negates the sodium. I think I read somewhere that a Twinkie contains Birch and Aspen sawdust too?

    LOVE those caramel banannas. We put the bananna on a piece of tinfoil on a plate cause it can get a bit messy otherwise.

  13. The organised cook in me is eeeking at the soup suggestions.

    We don't have twinkies here, but I'm starting to wish we did...

    ReplyDelete
  14. Debo - Ok, so the soup tastes a bit like liquid charcoal, but. hey, food is food. WHAT? no Twinkies? (Strawberry shortcake cake will work as an alternate).

    Recon - Marshmellows in the microwave are worse.

  15. Strawberry whattie? :P

    I'm not really a desserts person, so it's not like I look for anything at the supermarket, but with Cheyenne liking the character, if there was such a thing as Strawberry Shortcake cake, it would have been packaged to the hilt and I would have been dragged to the section.

    I like ice cream and cream with baileys irish creme on it. the cream and ice cream bond together and it's like ice cream cake and the baileys makes my mouth freeze when I inhale.

  16. debo - "Man cannot live on desserts alone", but a Chicken can. I don't think I've tried dqa>ahula <---Spot did that......baileys on ice cream,... must go try that for supper tonight.

  17. Debo - You're lucky... she usually mostly uses the numbers at the top of the keyboard (Maybe it's a secret code?).

  18. It was ;)

    We're planning a coup to take over the world. I asked Spot what she wanted to do and she said "coo" so a coup it is!

  19. Debo - Hey, I'm all for it... it would be a peaceful place to live.
