The Thread where lousy fucks can learn to cook

Seeing some of the more recent "hey I ate poop for lunch" threads has reminded me that we actually haven't had a cooking thread in some time. That or we did and I wasn't paying attention, but I'm gonna pretend that I'm right on this one. The other reason being that I just started trying to teach myself how to cook, and I figured it couldn't hurt to maybe pick up some new stuff to try.
So for an initial contribution, heres something I made tonight for dinner that I picked up from a guy I work with. Basically its the second thing I've cooked that requires a little more then either the boiling of water or the direct application of flame to meat.
One Pot
Ingredients
Start by cubing the chicken and slicing the sausage, cut them up small preferably, but its not terribly important to get em tiny. Also if you're slow with a knife like I am, slice up the onion, celery, red pepper and garlic before you actually start cooking. Once this is all prepped the whole meal becomes pretty basic to prepare.
Brown the sausage in a pot large enough to hold everything listed above. Once the sausage is browned, add the chicken to the mix and brown it as well.
Once the chicken is browned in the same pot as the sausage, add the celery, red pepper, onion and garlic and let the whole thing cook for 5 minutes or so.
After that add the chicken broth, tomatoes, beans (w/sauce), bay leaves, oregano and salt and pepper (to taste). Mix it up and bring the pot to a boil.
When it comes to a boil, add the rice and then drop the heat to a simmer until the rice is done. If your a little shy on liquid add water as needed. But remember, this isn't a soup, you should be able to see your ingredients poking out of the top, not completely submerged. As its simmering you can taste it and season it to your liking (he suggested cayenne pepper if you like it hot). When its done, it should basically resemble Jambalaya or chili without sauce. Serve in bowls with cheese on top/mixed in. Serves 4 like this, but I doubled everything and it seemed like there was enough there for 10.
Overall its pretty tasty, very filling, and due to the beans and veggies expect to have a quality bowel movement sometime in the next 24 hours.

I was going to go to VanPAX, but you guys moved the date on me a weekend ahead of when it originally was, and I was writing my provincial exams during that time.
that was all trillian's doing, not mine!
He did the same thing with VegasPAX. If he had done it a week earlier we would have been having really wild sex all weekend.
I-I made an aerial view of San Diego with crushed up cereal and an egg today.
Except VegasPAX didn't actually end up happening, so.
And you Hung copycat
I feel so young compared to everyone here.
I mean, I can't even legally drink in the states. What's the point of having a fake I.D. when I can't use it in the states!
=(
You know I wanted it to!!!
(I never cook based off of exact amounts, only by portion and flavor.)
-Chicken Breast (Bonesless, Cut into strips)
-Thai Peanut Sauce
-Spaghetti noodles
-Soy sauce
-Hoison Sauce
-Teriyaki Sauce
-Peanut Butter (Creamy)
-Crushed peanuts
1. Throw all the sauces into a mixing bowl, in small increments, while tasting every now and then. Add individual sauces to liking. My best mix has been a lot of teriyaki and hoison, with a little peanut and soy.
2. Pour finished mixture into a wok or other large pan, along with chicken and cook until cooked all the way through.
3. Boil noodles.
4. Once noodles are done, strain them, then put them into another pan along with about 2-3 globs of peanut butter and a shitload of peanut sauce. Stir until smothered.
5. Put noodles into a bowl, then the chicken with some of the sauce mixture. Stir, then add crushed peanuts.

I, on the other hand, can make rice and pasta basically.
occasionally chicken. Salad too.
Top with mixture of brown sugar, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder
Roast
This is really fucking good.
Buy bacon.
Go camping.
Realize you don't have any BBQ sauce.
Go buy Jack Daniels BBQ sauce, get ripped off because this is the only store for miles.
Back to campsite.
Realize you don't have the adapter thingy for your propane stove.
Look at bacon, steaks, and BBQ sauce.
Light some charcol.
Grab a steak, wrap it in bacon. No not around the edge, wrap it like a present, a delicious meat present.
Put your bacon wrapped steak on a piece of tin foil.
Pour BBQ sauce all over it.
Wrap up the bacon steak in the tin foil.
Throw it on the grill.
Wait for a while. Like 20-30 minutes (make sure the coals aren't too hot).
Unwrap the tin foil (hint dipping your fingers in ice water helps avoid burns)
Throw the bacon steaks on the grill for another couple of minutes.
Remove bacon steaks (carefull plastic forks melt easily, be quick about it)
Eat bacon steak like a hot dog.

Put your sausages in a frying pan and add water. Boil them, and then drain it, and add some oil and fry those motherfuckers. Don't deep fry them - just brown them a bit. Then you pour your sauce over them and simmer it. Spice it as you like it, and add red wine to the sauce when it starts to cook off the moisture. Maybe a cup or half cup of wine. Just enough to taste it.
Then you fix your noodles, pour your sauce over it, and drop a few sausages on the top. Voila - cheap and easy spagetti. Pour a glass of the same red wine you used in cooking (always the same wine as the one you used to cook!) and enjoy. Its also Goddamned delicious. If you cook enough to use a whole pack of italian sausage we're going to be feeding like four or five people, here. Invite your friends over. Finish the bottle of wine, while you're at it. Hell, grab another one. Clear the table and play some cards, strip poker. If you play it right you'll wake up with your lips tasting like semen and your best friend on the bathroom floor with his pants around his ankles. Don't worry - you're living the Italian life! You feel like a Roman emperor!
Does that count?
