I love cooking, however I make my own recipes cuz I can't follow one to save the leathery hide on my ass. I'm actually cooking right now. I'm making cubed potatoes with slices of green pepper, sliced onions, and fish fillet. I splash the potatoes/pepper/onions, with olive oil and pepper,and some rosemary . The I season the fish fillet with paprika,lemon,garlic,lime,rosemary(from my backyard), and some complete seasoning. Then I shove it in the oven for idk 40 min? It's not finished yet lol, hope it comes out good.

Chilled Asparagus Soup, laced with Goat Cheese Crumble
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients:
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, diced
2 ribs celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
Kosher salt
2 bunches asparagus, stems trimmed (fresh if you can)
2 Idaho potatoes, peeled and diced
1 quart chicken stock
1 quart vegetable stock
1 (4-ounce) log goat cheese, crumbled
Method:
Coat a large saucepan with olive oil. Add the onion, celery and garlic and bring to a medium heat.
Season with a pinch of salt and sweat until the vegetables are very soft and aromatic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove the tips from the asparagus and reserve. Cut the stalks of the asparagus into 1-inch lengths and add them to the pot.
Sweat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the potatoes and the stock. Taste for seasoning and add salt to taste, if needed.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
On a separate burner, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Have a small bowl of salted ice water on standby.
Cook the asparagus tips in the boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove them from the boiling water and plunge them immediately into the ice water.
When the tips are cool, remove them from the water, pat dry and reserve.
In a blender or with an immersion blender, puree the asparagus stock mixture.
Strain through a mesh strainer, if desired.
Taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed. Chill for at least 1 hour.
Garnish with the reserved asparagus tips and crumbled goat cheese.
Chilled Tomato Consomm?
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
4 1/2 lbs tomatoes (Cherry, grape, beefsteak, red, roma, yellow, black heirloom. All seven types if you can, make sure to have all stems off.)
1/2 cup vodka
2 tablespoons grated horseradish
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 cup fresh basil
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 slice beetroot, thick slice (Optional, though preferred)
- salt, black better as seasoning
Method:
Put everything except the beetroot into a food processor and run until it reaches pulp-like consistency (you may want to split the tomatoes into several batches to avoid spillage).
Place four layers of clean muslin cheesecloth in a deep bowl. Pour the tomato mixture into the cloth.
Tie up the corners of the fabric. Add the slice of beetroot to the bowl to color the liquid.
Hang the bag from a shelf in the refrigerator with the bowl underneath for 6-8 hours (or longer).
Discard the beetroot.
Serve in a clear bowl with ice cubes to keep it very cold (should you wish, not necessary),
Garnish with a simple basil leaf and a few drops of very good extra-virgin olive oil.

To add a tropical flair, you can add some finely diced mango as a garnish to the avocado soup
Hmm, that does sound delectable, fits right in with the shrimp and adds colour. Thanks Rabbit, will do so the next time one makes it.

Lemon Meringue Pie Buttermilk Waffles
Ingredients
Buttermilk Waffles:
1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs, whites and yolks divided
1 pinch cream of tartar
3 Tbsp granulated/ caster sugar
2 cups buttermilk
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
3 Tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 200 degrees and preheat an electric waffle iron. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer set on moderately high speed, whip together 2 egg whites (make sure they don't have even a drop of yolks in them) along with cream of tartar until soft peaks form, then add in sugar and whip until firm and glossy peaks form, set aside.
In another large mixing bowl, whisk together buttermilk, vegetable oil, melted butter, vanilla extract and 2 egg yolks until well combined. Add in dry ingredients and whisk just until combined (batter should still be quite lumpy) then using a rubber or silicone spatula, add half of egg white mixture to waffle batter and fold. Then add remaining egg white mixture and fold just until combined. Cook according to waffle iron manufacturer??s directions. Once each waffle has been cooked, immediately transfer to a wire cooling rack and transfer cooling rack to preheated oven to rest while remaining waffles are being prepared. Serve immediately with maple syrup or other topping of choice.
Lemon Cream:
1 cup milk (preferably 2% or whole)
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon zest (zest of about 2 large lemons)
5 large egg yolks
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon extract
Marshmallow Fluff:
4 large egg whites
1 cup granulated/ caster sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
1. Lemon cream (2 hours before, or overnight):
In a medium saucepan, bring milk, cream and lemon zest just to a boil over medium heat, then remove from heat to cool slightly, about 4 - 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer set on medium speed, whip together egg yolks and sugar, until pale and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add cornstarch, flour and salt to egg yolk mixture and blend on medium speed 1 minute longer. While whisking, add 1/2 cup warm milk mixture to egg yolk mixture. Pour milk mixture into egg yolk mixtur
Pour milk mixture into egg yolk mixture in pan while whisking mixture in pan. Stir in lemon juice and return to medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly until mixture has thickened and coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 6 - 8 minutes (switch to whisk for stirring as needed, if mixture appears to curdle slightly. I used a whisk to stir during the last few minutes of cooking). Remove from heat, stir in lemon extract then force mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, pressing plastic directly against surface of lemon cream to prevent a skin from forming. Chill mixture 2 hours.
2. For the marshmallow fluff (10 Minutes before):
Add egg whites, granulated sugar and cream of tarter to a heat proof bowl of an electric mixer. Set bowl over a saucepan filled with a few inches of simmering water. Heat mixture, whisking constantly until egg whites are very warm to the touch, about 4 minutes (mixture so register 160 degrees on a candy thermometer). Remove from heat and transfer bowl to electric stand mixer fit with a whisk attachment. Beat mixture beginning on low speed and gradually increasing to high speed, until stiff glossy peaks form, about 6 - 8 minutes. Add vanilla during the last 10 seconds of mixing. For best results serve immediately.
3. Assemble:
Prepare lemon cream according to directions listed, once lemon cream has chilled for allotted time prepare marshmallow fluff and waffles according to directions listed. Take two prepared, warm waffles and spread marshmallow fluff along one side of one waffle, carefully toast marshmallow fluff with a kitchen torch if desired . Spread opposite waffle with about 3 Tbsp lemon cream then sprinkle with crushed graham cracker if desired and sandwich the two waffles together. Repeat with remaining waffles. Serve immediately.
