Spaaaaaaace

Hello Boys and Girls, this week we are going to talk about space.

Pretty much, space is awesome, look at it!

And that is why we decided it was time to honour space with food. Delicious Foooood.

The Theme

Spaaaaaaaace

The Menu

Main

Pasta and Meatballs with Star and Satellite Spaced Vegetables

Chef's Rating: 7 out of 10 Black Holes

It was good, but I think we could do better. The meatballs had bits of salami in them, that was interesting. Also, I'm not totally sure on why we ended up with meatballs, but I'm going to go with they kind of look like planets.

Dessert

Freeze dried Ice-cream Sandwich (Like the Astronauts eat) and Choc Chip Ice-cream with silver balls in it.

Chef's Rating: 8 out of 10 Uranus's 

I don't think you can really go wrong here, just loosing points because we didn't really cook anything. Freeze dried Ice-cream sandwich tastes surprisingly good, crunchy ice-cream!

Drinks

Some Sparkly Purpley Blue Drinks .... They don't really have a name, so lets just call them Space Cadets

Don't you love it when your drink matches your outfit?
I also added glitter for fun.....yes, I drank glitter.

Chef's Rating: 5 out of 8 Cosmos

It was alright. Just Soda Water, Blue Curacao and Parfait Amour. I guess alright is what you achieve when you pick something just for it's colours.

While we didn't go all out with food this week we made up for it with our atmosphere!

This is what happens when you're new at atmosphere.

We also had activities, like excavating a meteorite. 

That's real meteorite, can you say best space party evvverrr?

We also set a glow stick on fire, you know, for fun.....

Sweet Children, go forth and discover the wonders of the universe.

Peace.

All Hallows Eve

Hey Scary People,

It was a while ago now but this year to celebrate Halloween we did the usual, carve  pumpkins, drink, and give children candy. Next year I'll be adopting the "No Costume, No Lollies" policy, damn teenagers. *shakes fist*

Our Pumpkin Carving Efforts this year

The Theme

Halloween

The Menu

Main

Hag's Fingers

Chef's Rating: 6 out of 9 Fingernails
These were ok, maybe a little dry. Again, I'm thinking it might be time to see if there's any truth to this soaking your chicken in milk overnight thing.

Dessert

Pumpkin Pie

Chef's Rating: 8 out of 9 Little Bitty Pumpkins
I think this is the best pie we have every made. Sadly I didn't end up eating very much, Halloween is a big day for food and somehow couldn't find much time to eat it the next week. Who can't find time to eat pie, seriously? I recommend it. As an Australian, it was also pretty novel and exciting.

Drinks

Witches Brew

Chef's Rating: 9 out of 10 Warty Noses.
I really enjoyed this. Love kiwis, love ginger ale, love vokda. Win! While it wasn't strong enough for some people's taste, still a nice drink, and you can always add more vodka if you want.

I wish you no food poisoning. 

Good Night.

Halloween is Coming

Metal!!!

Afternoon my lovelies, I hope all of you are well.
This week we decided to go for a challenge, we went with METAL.

This kind:

Not this kind:

It was indeed a bit of a challenge, and in fact the closest I have ever come to throwing up during a Cooking Session (and it had nothing to do with the alcohol).

The Theme

Metal

The Menu

Main

Stuffed Lamb Hearts with Cheesy Polenta Loaf and Spicy Swedish Mash

Lamb Hearts Pre-cooking. Mmmmm delicious.

Spicy Swede Mash for Hot Swedish Metal

Chef's Rating: 4.5 out of 10 Love In Disguises'

So... the mash was alright, it took a while to get it just right, so many different spices were added. We have no idea if that's actually what the polenta loaf was supposed to look like but it actually tasted pretty good, probably from all that cheese and butter I fried it in. The hearts, umm, well they actually didn't taste too bad, and if you could forget for a moment that you were eating a poor little lamb's heart you were golden, but that second when you remember is when the dry retching kicks in. Alas, I was not metal enough.

Fun Fact: Lamb Heart Dishes are also known as a Love in Disguise. 

Drinks

Pumpkin Pie

All you have to do is layer Kahlua, Baileys, and Tequila (or something else you want to burn), then light the top layer on fire, sprinkle cinnamon on it and down it goes.

Attempts

Chef's Rating: 6 out 9 Pumpkins

These little suckers were quite tricky to light and I did end up burning my nose a little when trying to shot it (I'm not very coordinated when it comes to shots) but the cinnamon looked awesome when it was being burnt and flaming drinks are rad. Lost points for not actually tasting like pumpkin pie and getting my hopes up.

Brain Hemorrhage 

Layer Peach Schnapps and Baileys then drop Grenadine in it

Chef's Rating: 8 out of 9 Brains

These were surprisingly easy to make, tasted good and look sweet as. This is my new favourite shot. I plan to annoy many people trying to order this.

I wish you all pleasant weekend dreams. Peace.

Back to School

I'm not sure why this week's theme was back to school, except for just... why not? We took it as a chance to reminisce about what school really meant - meat pies and nachos is the answer.

The Theme

Back to School

The Menu

Entree

Peanut Butter and Celery Sticks

Chef's Rating: 8 out of 9 Peanuts

You can't go wrong with Peanut Butter and Celery Sticks, a classic

Main

Gourmet Sausage Rolls and Sloppy Joes

They do get messy. I'm not sure why anyone thought this was a good idea for children's school lunches. I'm not American though, so maybe I'm missing something.

Chef's Rating: 7 out of 10 Messy Children

The sausage rolls were a little bit burnt, but you can always cover that up with sauce and the sloppy joes were sloppy, as the name suggest, so I guess we can consider that a success. I now have a metric fuck-tonne of sausage rolls, so be prepared if you use this recipe. 

The Drinks

A Rum Alexander

This is pretty much just ice-cream, rum, and white creme de cacao. Obviously the Rum we chose was suitable for children.

Chef's Rating: 6 out of 10 Ron Jeremys

I found it really strong but everyone else seemed to really like it, so I would urge you to give it a try.

The Casualties

This is what happens when you try to grill bread on top of the toaster. I suggest you find another way. Side effects include unhappy housemates. 

And to all of you still in School..... suck it.
Afternoon!

What Time Is it?

Adventure Time!

This has been maybe one of my favourite themes to date, it's a kick-ass show and we got to bring back the costumes.

The Theme

Adventure Time

The Menu

Entree

Bacon Pancakes

Chef's Rating: 9 out of 9 Dancing Jakes

You just can't go wrong when you mix two of the most delicious things on this green earth. Even better when you can wait long enough to make your bacon crispy. Pro Tip: Forget about your bacon, it will be extra crispy then. 

Main

Soy People

This is What Soy People is Supposed to Look Like

And this is what we made

Chef's Rating: 5 out of 9 Rainicorns 

It's mostly just soy sauce and tofu, but I like tofu so I'm totally ok with that.

Dessert

Apple Pie

Chef's Rating: 6 out of 10 Treetrunks
It tasted fine but we could have done better, nicer pastry and apples that don't resemble baby food. This one is going on the Failure Rerun list for the season Finale.

Drinks

Honey Energy Drink

These are the Honey Energy Drinks that help you party all night with bears

And this is our version. I hate beer, but this was actually drinkable.

Chef's Rating: 7 out of 9 Bears

Lemon Drop

Lemon Drop - our Earl of Lemongrab themed Cocktail: Sugar Syrup, Lemon Juice, Vodka

Chef's Rating: 8 out of 10 Earls

It's sour but sweet where the Earl of Lemongrab is just scary, but I didn't want to make a scary cocktail.

Happy Eating

We're Moving to Thursday!

Drunken Tuesdays is moving to Thursdays and we are celebrating with an ADVENTURE TIME theme!

I know you're excited.

Healthier KFC

Sup my homies? You craving some delicious KFC but yo ass is busting out of yo pants? Then get yo chubby fingers in the kitchen and make some Healthier KFC.

The Theme

Healthy KFC

The Menu

Main

Chicken Pieces with Root Vegetable Mash, Homemade Gravy and No-Time Bread

We Made Bread!!!!! I'll admit it was still gooey in the middle (so I stress to really follow the recipe and let that yeast do it's thing) but I'm still impressed we made bread. I will be back to conquer you one day bread. 

While the gravy, or admittedly the whole thing, doesn't look overly appealing, it was very tasty.

Sauce Close Up!!!

Chef's Rating: 7 out of 10 Kentucky Fried Cats

The Drinks

Mountain Dew and Vodka 

(What else could it possibly be?)

Look at us pretending to be fancy.

Chef's Rating: 8 out of 9 Energised Cooks (it looses points for originality)

Remember kids, all Mountain Dew is Engergised and if you have it in a cocktail at night you probably aren't going to sleep very well.

Sleep well comrades. 

Coming Up - Healthy *cough cough* Homemade KFC

The Nutty Belgian

Helloooooo!

Last week we went with Belgium because we couldn't think of anything and they have good food right? No links to recipes this week except for drinks because I can't remember what any of them are and I spilt sauce all over the originals.

Enjoy

The Theme

Belgian

The Menu

Entree

Parmesan Mussels

Chef's Rating: 7 out of 10 lemon wedges. 

The topping was a bit crusty but it still tasted good (which is what counts when you're drunk) and the shells were so pretty! Shout out to NZ.

Main

Ummm, some kind of meaty skewers

Chef's Rating: 5 out of 9 cows.

It's meat on a stick. Little chewy the next day but made a pretty good pizza topping the next day.

(There was also bread and some mash with BACON)

Dessert

Pancakes and Melted Chocolate that didn't deserve a photo for not being waffles.

The Drinks

Apple Smile 

(As seen above)

Chef's Rating: 7 out of 10 apples.

It was tasty, and amazing if you like sour. Again I couldn't not find the correct ingredients so substituted apple brandy for Apple Sour Monkey, which may have been the problem. I got a free pen though so it was worth it. 

Nutty Belgian

Chef's Rating: 8 out of 9 Nuts

Couldn't find the right ingredients for this one either, surprise! But still tasted soooo good.

A casualty of some really hard stirring.

Night Sweet Things.
