    I'm preparing dinner. :eek: This will likely be a disaster.

    I need to do something unique. Any ideas?

    This thread will go places - lotsa folk here with cookin' skills.

    Here's a fav that I've mentioned here before..

    Get some chicken tenderloins and cut em up into two or three long pieces.

    Marinate overnight in:
    1/2 cup chopped garlic
    1 tsp black pepper
    1 tsp cayenne
    1/2 tsp kosher salt
    1 - 1/2 cans of your favorite beer
    add whatever other Cuban/Creole spices you like

    Skillet on HIGH until you have some nice char

    Serve on glass plate smothered in chopped white onion.
    Drown with fresh sliced lime and Frank's Red Hot
    and top it off with a dash of Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning

    Serve up w a side of tasty black beans and rice...

    YUM!

    Is the dinner for a date? Or for a large group or the family? How many people?

    How comfortable are you with cooking? Here's an easy one that'll make you look like a hero.

    Get a big skillet with a cover
    3 or 4 chicken breasts cut into bite sized cubes
    1 lb. large shrimp - peeled and de-veined
    4 or 5 tomatoes - diced or slices
    1 Green, yellow or red pepper - diced
    1 onion - diced
    fresh basil
    oregano (or Italian season mix)
    minced garlic to taste
    Chachere's (or soul seasoning)
    Linguine or fettuccine
    Parmesan cheese

    Skillet over med heat.
    - Use 1 or 2 Tbs. olive oil, sweat the onion, garlic and peppers.
    - Add the chicken and saute until cooked (approx 10 mins).
    - Add the tomatoes, basil, oregano and season with your choice of seasoning, let simmer for 15 or 20 minutes or until some liquid is present (not too much though).
    - Add the shrimp last and simmer until shrimp turns pink.
    - if you need additional spices, now's the time to add
    - Serve over the Linguine or fettuccine noodles, top with Parmesan cheese

    Make a spinach salad with warm bacon dressing (you can buy that at the store and heat in the microwave).

    Serve with a nice bottle of Merlot

    You need to eat like a real man :) So therefore, you should try a exotic dish. People i recommend this for roll their eyes at me, until i cook it for them...

    CURRY GOAT

    3 lb. Goat Meat (cut up in bite size pieces)

    1 Large Onion (chopped)

    2 cloves Garlic (chopped)

    1 Scotch Bonnet Pepper (chopped and seeded)

    4 oz. Jamaican Curry Powder

    1 oz. Cooking Oil

    1 oz. Ground Black Pepper

    2 tbsp. Salt

    4 sprig. Thyme

    1/2 oz. Vinegar

    6 Pimento Seeds (Allspice)

    Wash goat meat with vinegar and water. Rub in all the season with goat meat and let it sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

    Remove the meat from the refrigerator and then remove the seasoning from the goat meat.

    In a saucepan, heat the oil on high until it smells. Add 1 oz. curry powder to the hot oil. Stir curry powder in oil until the color starts to change.

    Put the goat meat in the saucepan now. Stir the meat in the hot oil for two minutes; be careful not to burn the meat.

    Add 1 oz. water to the pot, keep stirring until the meat looks like the muscles are tightening up.

    Now turn down the heat to medium and add 2 cups of water to the meat in the saucepan.Cover the pot and let this stew simmer for 20 minutes. Check on the meat in the pot, stir again and add water to cover the meat.

    Simmer for another 20 minutes, and then check to see if the meat is medium soft.

    If it is so, add the seasoning you removed earlier to the pot. Let the stew simmer for another 15 minutes on a slightly lower heat (between medium and low).

    (Optional) You can add potatoes to the pot the same time you add the seasoning. You can also add bread crumbs to thicken.

    Then serve with some rice and beans, along with ice cold mango juice.

    Man, i might have to cook this for Memorial Day.

    Thanks for the ideas, guys. I really appreciate it. I was looking up stuff online. I'm trying not to spend too much time cooking, and I was thinking about making Chicken Parmesan.

    Titanup, there's literally no way I could do that. And I really don't think it's my cup of tea, but like you said many folks have rolled their eyes, yet end up liking it.

    Caught me.
