I posted my Quick fire recipe on the old thread but its way down on the list so I am making a new post.
Recipes in if you participated, and any ideas for this weeks challenge? Personal pizzas? Asparagus and beef? eggplant???
I made Shrimp and Mango summer rolls...
Sorry I didn't take any photographs - but they were eaten wayyyy to fast.
Since it seems like a big number of us watch Top Chef, having a weekly Quick Fire Challenge here would be a cool idea. Post the food item on Tuesday morning, and we all have to come up with a recipe and have it for lunch or dinner in the next 48 hours. Come back on Thursday and post what we have come up with. (Photo's optional, but how cool would that be?!?) It will be a great way to exchange tried and true recipes from other members too.
So if you are in - your Quick Fire Challenge item for this week is:
SHRIMP (not Polish Sausage but it was tempting!)
Oh by the way - if it isn't a Vienna All Beef Frank - it's NOT a Chicago dog.
I think I just slipped into cardiac arrest reading this post.
Chicago Dawgs RULE!
We have been grilling pizza since the early 80's. My dad even makes Chicago style stuffed pizza on the grill. (Yes in the pan) He's a mad man. We only ever use a charcoal grill, as the gas grill can cook unevenly and burn the dough quicker. Now we use a stone in our bee-hive fireplace.
I can tell you that if you want to roll and size the dough early to get more prep work done, we have frozen our dough in the flats. Take it out of the freezer 15 minutes prior to use, top and grill. Turns out great.
I have Henckels Twin and use the steel unless I forget and then I proceed to destroy the tomato I was attempting to slice.
I wish they would make self-sharpening knives.
I always use a mill. For salt and Pepper.
BUT I always have little shakers for guests who do not like the mills, or for corn on the cob. Can't use my mills with only one hand...
LOVE frozen vanilla charleston chews. Also love frozen mini reese's peanut butter cups and hostess ho ho's even tho I know that isn't really candy...

OK, I've been fighting it for days, but I simply have to get it out of my system - as a tribute to Aunt Sandy, I have to name a couple of her dear friends:
Mars Capone, Vinnie Garette, her ex, Presso, and the best friend of them all - Mr. Sal Monella.
@minstrel - There's something Bonnie & Clyde or Godfather about your excellent names! I see them with machine guns and bowls of spaghetti. ;)
Saw the ad for Ted Allen's show and it looks like he won't be cooking. More fluff.
@Perk ~ Thanks for the support. I was really feeling inadequate there for a while. ;-D
