My mom showed me how to make Chinese Ginger and Scallion sauce. It’s great with shrimp, crab and steamed chicken. The best!

Chinese Sausage Cinnamon Roll
I made this audition video for this new Spike TV cooking show, called Frankenfood, where people create whacked out recipes with ingredients that usually don’t go together. My creation is a cinnamon roll stuffed with a Chinese sausage, topped with icing and bacon bits and Sriracha sauce.
There’s actually a chorizo sausage in there. Chinatown is too far to get a real Chinese sausage. When I bought the chorizo at the grocery store, the cashier said to her coworker, “This is the one?” She said, “Yeah, that’s the one that kept me up all night.” They wouldn’t stop talking about the diarrhea she got throughout my whole checkout. I bought it anyway.

Beer Pineapple Ham Recipe (EASY)
This is a good simple ham recipe. Score the ham with a knife. Stick pineapple rings on the ham. Pour a can of beer over the ham. Cover the ham with foil or a lid. Cook in the oven accordingly per instructions on the package. I’d say uncover for the last hour to make it crispy on the outside. It’s good!
I used a 7.8lb pre-cooked ham –which came out to about 3.3 hours at 350 degrees.

The Star Wars Cookbook – Wookie Cookies
Sam gave me Wookie Cookie that his friend made him when she sent him the entry fee for his March Madness NCAA Tournament pool. The recipe came from the Star Wars Cookbook.
I didn’t know this existed. The cookies were okay. I don’t mean to be a dick, but isn’t a Wookie Cookie just a Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Todd made this awesome brisket for the Superbowl. It was a big piece of meat, I didn’t think we’d get through half of it. But by the 3rd quarter, it was all gone. I guess makes sense. It was so good.
He used Emeril Lagasse’s Passover Brisket recipe. For some reason, I thought it was Korean or Asian flavored.

Todd brought over some homemade Hoppin’ Johns last night for New Year’s Eve. It’s a pot of black-eyed peas for good luck, mixed with tomatoes, onions, bacon and other southern/soul spices. Really awesome. He used this recipe from Michael Ruhlman’s food blog.
…Too bad the black-eyed peas didn’t bring us luck. Rusty was trying to tie an onion to the ceiling light for the ball drop.

Rusty Fire Crackers
For football watching, Rusty said he was going to make Fire Crackers. I had no idea what he was talking about. But he said they are what fishermen eat down South.
They are saltine crackers with Ranch Dressing (powder) with pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, vegetable or olive oil –all mixed in a bag and then put in the oven to crisp up.
We couldn’t find Rand Dressing powder mix. I haven’t seen dry dressing mix in a long time. Either they don’t make them anymore or they just don’t sell them in the smaller groceries up here in NY. It’s hard to find a lot of stuff up here that you’d normally find in the mega supermarkets anywhere else. I wish there was a Publix in Williamsburg. I also liked Albertson’s because they had a toy aisle.
Anyway, Rusty got Onion soup mix instead. I don’t if it made it better or worse, but dang these Fire Crackers were pretty good. I was impressed, since they sounded lame.

Ham and Coke
Rusty and I walked down to C-Town grocery to get our Thanksgiving meat. We passed by our neighbor and he asked what we were up to. We told him we were getting a ham. He said to try cooking it with Coke.
It worked. We poured the Coke on, basted it as it cooked down a bit and just poured more on. It took away the pig meat smell and made it really tender. Really good.
Here’s a recipe from Coca-Cola for their Ham recipe.

…we didn’t use the brown sugar or the pineapple though.
Also here’s a video from Coke…
