Cooking with the Rev
 

Since there has been so much discussion today about steak and eggs, I thought I'd start a cooking show, right here on CAD.

Today, we are making Steak and Eggs. Since Steak and Eggs is kind of boring, I thought I'd change it to Steak and Trucker's Omelet. That sounds more fun.

Step one: Fire up the generator. Gotta have power if you want to make awesomeness.

Make sure you fire up the battery charger too. 10.3 volts of awesomeness.

Okay, now that we have power, let's preheat our George Foreman Grill (or suitable facsimile). Once it is preheated to the manufacturers specifications, throw that hunk of meat on it, but make sure the grill is SHUT OFF! Don't want to overcook our steak now! Just let it cook shut off while we make the awesome Trucker's Omelet.

Step one for an awesome Trucker's Omelet is to start with fresh vegetables. I like to use tomatoes, green peppers, and onions, mainly because I like tomatoes, green peppers, and onions. You can't have too many, so start cutting! Careful not to cut your fingers off, because they don't taste right in a Trucker's Omelet!

Once you have all your veggies cut, it's time to preheat and butter the frying pan. Don't use too much butter, because it's not good for you - who am I kidding - THROW AS MUCH BUTTER ON AS POSSIBLE!

BAM!

While that melts, sit back and marvel at your awesomeness for being able to create a masterpiece in your truck.

Once that butter has melted (which, if you used the right amount, should take a while), throw those veggies in and let them start simmering.

While the veggies cook, let's work on the eggs. I like to use two extra large eggs in my omelet. Add a bit of milk to the mixture (I prefer skim - watching my figure after all).

Whisk the eggs into a frenzy, and then carefully dump them on top of the veggies. If the eggs cover the entire pan, you win. If not, quickly add a little more milk to the mixture and stir.

Let that bitch simmer - it's going to take a while to cook.

You might want to take this opportunity to marvel at your cooking setup, and laugh at all the other guys in the truckstop who are eating cheese and crackers - the chumps.

Okay, back to cooking. Now we don't want the omelet to stick to the pan, so every once in a while give it a nice gentle turn, to keep it from sticking. It is also a good way to get the runny egg stuff on the top to go to the sides where it can cook better.

Looks like the omelet is almost done, but there is something missing, isn't there?

CHEESE! BAM!

http://www.overdesaturated.com/cook14.jpg

Shut the burner off and let the cheese melt. While it is turning into cheesy goodness, throw your toast in. Don't burn it, dammit!

Now all that is left is plate assembly! I find that throwing it all on the plate wherever makes for a wonderful presentation. A dollop of sour cream on the omelet makes for extra fun. A Dr. Pepper, vintage 2008, makes for a great addition to the wonderful meal you just created.

So there you have it! Total time to make = about 15 minutes. Total cost of ingredients = less than 5 bucks. Total awesomeness = 1,000,000,000.

Extra credit - take your assembled meal outside your truck to eat it, and watch the chumps in the other trucks get jealous. Extra points if they come over and ask you how you created such awesomeness. Tell them to enjoy their cheese and crackers.

Splendid, Rev...

Hark... I hear your phone ringing... it is the Food Channel..

Nice job there man. :D
Now I'm hungry.....again. I just had some sliced tomatoes w/ mayo and pepper on top. mm good.

ROTFLMAO :lol: :lol:

What, no bacon grease? Oh, that right you are watching your figure. I admire a man who knows how to cook good food.

Good job. When you fired up the generator I thought you were gonna do it over an open flame.

:lol: ouch... :lol: ouch..... :lol: ouch

I thought I just did. It's not my fault you guys aren't here.....

ok, I'm up, what's for breakfast? eggs with steak or steak with eggs? the suspense is killing me.....

I could eat a loaf of freaking toast right about now!!!!!!!!!!!!

whole grain toast there Stevo? :D

I DON'T CARE!!!!!!! I JUST WANT BREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've lost weight, I can tell ya that.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell ya, this way of eating can cost you your sanity. I never had sanity so it's all good here.

:lol: :lol: :P :P

Nice lesson Rev! Just keep Sonix away from the kitchen!

Rev, that was a great post...the commentary had me laughing.

But...

Jumbo gets the Emmy, hands down. That was too freakin' funny!

:lol:

Fire jokes are the bomb.

So are Rev's generators. Oh wait - those ARE bombs.


Today I'm feeling lazy, so it's frozen waffles for breakfast. I just booked a load in WI, so I'm heading home for the weekend. That was unexpected, but it'll give me a chance to do some more grocery shopping.

...and a chance to attack some of that "honey do" list that I'm sure grows like a weed while you are gone :wink:

Since I have nobody calling me "honey" anymore, not really. I'll mow the lawn and work on the generator's exhaust system. That's about it.

If you could figure out a way to power some mower blades off the generator you could mow the lawn with the truck in just a few seconds............... and you'd be like some kind of mowing king or something. Competitions, mowing shows, autograph signings, probably movies as well. Sky's the limit really.

Sounds like a plan. I'll have it finished by Monday*. 8)















*by "finished", I mean I will have burned the truck, the lawn, and likely the house down....

Hey REV,
You owe me some money. After reading YOUR thread about cooking steak, I ran up the street and bought a few. Now the wife expects me to cook them tonight.

We want pictures of this one(and NO Photoshop ones :wink: )

We all have to start somewhere, the Wright Brothers didn't build a 747 right out of the barn either. I'm sure they had a few fires as well. Good luck and Godspeed.
Remember..........save the old albums and cd's first, everything else can burn. We gotta have music during the rebuild. :lol:

I sure do feel sorry for you guys that have to mow grass... heres my lawn...

The back yard...

Sweet rigid, sweet. Will my West Virginia native credentials transfer over? :lol:

Yea, I believe we can transfer them over. :lol:

Its not all sweet.... look what I woke up to yesterday morning... :roll:

Dry rot along the bank? Looks like some good turtling through there?

Just a weak spot in the tree I guess... it broke off halfway up.

Theres fish in there too but I cant seem to catch them! If I ever do maybe Rev can come up with a good recipie... recipe...rec... aw hell, a good way to cook them. :)

I would like to thank the Academy for this award. I would also like to thank my biggest fan, Me. Because without me I wouldn't be as great as I am.

That soooo brings to mind

So Rev... what's for dinner....

Fresh picked tomatoes and grapes out of the garden. And Dr. Pepper, of course.

What? No partridge fresh from the scrublands? Oh, oh... Not in season yet. Cornish game hens? Something????

You know, I had always wondered who bought Ted Kaczynski's place.

That cabin is way to nice to have been Teddy Kaczynski's !!! To big too!

Heck Rev. them Food Network yuppies ain't got nothing on you...anyone can cook good food in a fully stocked, shiny kitchen, but tell one of them high dollar cooks to prepare a meal in a truck and they would start cryin' and walk off :lol:

Looks dayum good there Chef Rev!!!

They call me the Unibastard. :P

You should have seen me Sunday cutting the tree from the dock... it looked like the "Tennessee Chainsaw Massacre" That tree had to f***ing die! :lol:
