do you ever crumble blue cheese on freshly cooked penne and call it a gourmet dish?

[COCOCHANEL]

it's so nice, but i wouldn't serve it to anyone. it's just melted blue cheese on pasta.

A slice of fresh tomato with a slice of fresh mozzarella and a basil leaf is gourmet food.

Simple excellence is the soul of really great cooking.

The best steak I've ever had was seasoned with nothing but fire and salt.

The best Pate I've ever had contained nothing but a pork shoulder and a bottle of Caribbean Jerk seasoning that got pressure cooked for hours and then went through a Cuisinart before being formed and chilled. Few things taste as great as grilled ripe pineapple. Or a buttered grilled onion. Or a bowl of over ripe peaches drizzled with heavy whipping cream. Or sweet ripe pears and an assortment of cheese to go with it.

Or a bowl of tuna sashimi.

The short version is that I'm going to buy me some penne and some blue cheese to try tonight. :-)

Another one that's maybe too fancy because it has three ingredients: Cut a bunch of fresh ripe figs in half. Flat side up. Broil them until the kitchen smells like toasting marshmallows and they're bubbling. Pull em out, and place in the center of each half, a few drops of fresh lemon juice, and a few drops of heavy whipping cream. You'll get sweet sour, and creamy caramel flavors. Can't wait for figs to be back in season now. :-)

I've been to some pretty swanky restaurants, both in America, Italy, and France.

If there's one thing I hate about getting gourmet dishes from time to time, is how small portions they are.

I've literally paid like, hellishly large amounts of money to get dishes that could sometimes fit on the end of a fork.

I hate it when they do that.

[COCOCHANEL]

the nerve of them ! who do they think they are !

[kambo_trick3y]

Yeah, let's go beat them up! You and me! Then stone them with rocks!

[COCOCHANEL]

ok ! let me get my crescent moon wand !

[COCOCHANEL]
