Christmas-Kwanzaa Green Nog

Christmas-Kwanzaa green nog for two:

Blend 1 banana, 1/2 of an avocado, 2 to 2 and 1/2 glasses of milk (to suit your taste for thickness and texture), honey, 1 to 2 pine needles or a squeeze of lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and/or allspice, and optionally vanilla extract or rum. This is a room-temperature or cold beverage, as neither banana nor avocado cooks well nor is as tasty when heated or cooked.

Salmon Spaghetti -- More Good-Grubbing, Lip-Smacking House Cuisine

Salmon Spaghetti, aka Soul-food Salmon Spaghetti: 1. Stew spiced tomato sauce (spiced with paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano and the cook's favorite appropriate spices for spaghetti sauce) with a little olive oil and with mushrooms (whole or sliced fresh button mushrooms, or canned whole button mushroom), chopped garlic, onions, tomato and pit-free whole and/or minced olives. To thicken the sauce, add tomato paste 2. After the veggies in the sauce are carefully and slowly cooked fully to tenderness, add plenty of well washed and chopped fresh-salmon halved cross-cuts (steaks) with the skin, and optionally prawns or shrimp, and slowly cook in full. 3. Either pour the cooked spaghetti sauce-stew into the fully soft-boiled spaghetti in the pot, first drained of water, or portion pour it per plate, with a ladle or large serving spoon, over the plates with the hot spaghetti on them (some folks like a little butter over their spaghetti on the plate before the sauce is poured).

Some Good-Grubbing, Lip-Smacking House Cuisine

Delicious fast-food breakfast at home: I came up with a new beverage to go with any meal. It is a glass half filled, or a little less than half filled, with V8 vegetable or tomato juice and half filled, or a little more than half filled, with grapefruit juice, especially with pulp or lots of pulp. Ummm. Yeh!

For a good and fast breakfast at home, get a griddle for one, or two for more than one, to be placed depth-wise, from the front range burner to the back burner, and cook your slower cooking food, like veggies, potatoes and meat, first. When these are almost finished, add or pour eggs onto reserved free space for the eggs on the griddle. If you want scrambled eggs or omelet eggs, whip some eggs, combined with a little olive oil (the healthiest oil), or butter, or a little milk too (to increase the egg bulk without adding too much cholesterol from too many eggs) in a cup first, with a manual whipper (the wiry kind for mixing batter) -- the olive oil or butter in the whipped eggs will eliminate the need for pouring any oil on the griddle for cooking the eggs. Instead of cooking the slower cooking food with oil or butter, most, if not all of it, can be sizzle cooked with water (except for pancakes and French toast, which can be cooked in a little spiced olive oil, like slivers of garlic for me, or regular spices).

While the omelet eggs are finishing, already cooked veggies, shrimp, mushrooms, etc., can be moved into the omelet eggs.

Hard and slow cooking food items can be precooked in the microwave oven first to soften them up for griddle cooking -- I microwave an unpackaged frozen cake of whole-leaf spinach for 4 minutes first, to defrost and soft cook it, and then cook it on the griddle with walnut halves, doused with a little basic soy sauce (with minimal ingredients), and combine part of this with the eggs for a delicious spinach and walnut omelet. Cooking on griddles placed over burners gives more cooking space, with food items being cooked at the same time on a single or two single surfaces, and eliminates splashing and spills onto the stove top and the use of multiple skillets and pots needing to be washed along with a dirtied stove top.
