FOODIES MEET HERE.

As a Chinese man, I'm going to have to go with rice

Also, nice find!

Anyway, let me introduce you all to my #1 favorite food in the world. I grew up with this. Every time I go out to a Chinese restaurant with my family or extended family, they'll always order this for me before I can, haha. Unfortunately, despite my love, I just can't recreate it at home   I always fail. *looks to Rel for help*

Behold... Cong You Bing, AKA, Green Onion pancake, AKA, Scallion pancake, AKA, the thing that came before pizza (according to legend).

I'm going to offer you pel'meni!

Pel'meni is a dish invented by the Komi people (a Finno-Ugric people of Northeastern European Russia) and adopted by Russians as their own. To make pel'meni, you need flour, salt, meat and water. You make the simplest kind of paste from flour and salted water, roll it flat with a rolling pin and cut into small circles three inches in diameter. In the center of each circle you put ground meat, and then pull some kind of origami. If you want to make Siberian pel'meni, you just fold the circles in half and stick them closed. If you want to make classic pel'meni, you do the same and then stick the opposite corners of the half-circle together.

After you've made raw pel'meni, you can boil them, fry them, or boil then fry. Boiling them until they float is the most common method. You can eat them with pepper or ketchup.

I still like my Man-Dogs

The first thing you need is to make the queso.

- 1 block of Velveeta Cheese
- 1 lb Jimmy Dean Hot Breakfast Sausage
- 1 can Ro-Tel Tomatoes and Habañeros
- 1 can Hunt's Fire Roasted Tomatoes
- some onion (onion powder can substitute)
- three or four garlic cloves (garlic powder can substitute)
- 6 jalepeños
- 6 habañeros
- 6 scotch bonnet peppers

1) chop the garlic and an equivalent amount of onion (if using powders, skip this step)

2) brown the breakfast sausage (ensuring that is is broken into small pieces) with the onion and garlic

3) remove the stem ends of all the peppers, cut them into manageable pieces, and chop them all in a food processor. If you have a weak constitution, you can remove the seeds. However, this is a recipe for MAN Dogs, not Sissy Dogs, so suck it up and make it right.

4) open the Hunts and Ro-Tel and drain out about half the juice (keeps the queso from being too watery)

5) cut the Velveeta into cubes

6) add everything into a pot (I prefer a slow cooker) and heat until melted together.


Now, for the rest of the Man Dogs

- 1 package of All-Beef Hot Dogs (I prefer Hebrew National) or sausage
- 1 package of bacon
- 1 package of buns
- 1 can of chili WITHOUT BEANS (I prefer Wolf Brand Chili) and for the love of Zeus, if you buy Hot Dog Chili, I will be forced to beat you. Hot Dog Chili is an abomination and only goes on the afore-mentioned Sissy Dogs.
- toothpicks

1) cook the bacon until it is chewy (not done. Chewy)

2) wrap the bacon around the hot dogs and secure with a toothpick

3) cook on a grill until both hot dogs and bacon are done.

4) toast the buns on the grill

5) heat the chili.


Okay, you're ready for a Man Dog, now.

Place the hot dog in the bun (removing the toothpicks, of course)
Put on a layer of chili and queso

Consume like the man you are while listening to the theme song from Orgazmo.

Yum! Do you season the ground meat, or just let the natural goodness remain untouched? Those sound awesome, Rina!

Glad I could help.

That's a standard dish that accompanies any cookout here in the Bayou City...

Had to wait to avoid a double post... ^This cracked me up^

Those sound good, Jev, but with 6 scotch bonnets (alone), it should come with a warning, albeit a brief and illegible one.

Scotch Bonnets and Habañeros are on the same Scoville scale, so in reality, it's 12 of them.

And other than that, MAN UP and eat the peppers. These are Man Dogs, not Sissy Dogs.

Ha! Good point... I mean warn those who don't like the heat. That would not be me however... These are right up my alley.

Yes!!!! we should gather and drink beer soon.

The warning is in the recipe. Specifically, Step 3 in the queso recipe.

After the holidays, perhaps. Things are kinda hectic this time of year.

I mean a real warning... a few stems isn't going to make a difference when dealing with the sissies! I've taken out too many sissies with spice and perhaps the stigma is just in my head...
