It's all about the chef...

I’ve known DouG for quite some time now, we’re pretty good buddies as you may have guessed by the fact that that I am one of the few people that he has listed on the “Friends” section of his website, you can count us all on one hand.  He had mentioned to me a while back that if I ever made a website, he would link to it from his.  So just to see if he will keep that promise, I would like to present...

Cooking with Fletch

...well...I guess if he doesn't keep that promise you won't see this at all...but I will know.

*DISCLAIMER*  I see quite a few of these on DouG's site, and I figured since I was adopting the style and format of his page I might as well go ahead and throw one in for good measure:  The characters and incidents portrayed and the names used herein are fictitious and any resemblance to the names, character, or history of any person is coincidental and unintentional.  Any use of the information contained in this document is strictly at the users own risk. 

Now on with the fun.  What I would like to present are a few recipes mostly for the "financially challenged" and "motivation-to-go-to-the-store impaired".

Most of these “recipes” will not require cooking instructions as they are merely a combination of items (especially condiments), or a variation of what I perceive to be a well known simple recipe or meal.

Spaghetto
Ingredients: spaghetti, ketchup
Cooking instructions should be obvious…make spaghetti, substitute ketchup for sauce.
This is perhaps the only “meal” that may be cheaper than Ramen soup.
Buddha Noodles
Ingredients: any kind of pasta, barbeque sauce
This one fits into the same category as Spaghetto.
Stewp
Ingredients: ???
As the name implies, though perhaps quite vaguely, this is a combination of stew and soup. This is typically a meal reserved for when you run low   on groceries, and are left only with some canned basics i.e. vegetables, sauces and soups. Put it all in a pot, heat, serve. The beauty of this   particular delicacy is that leftovers can instantly become a full meal simply by adding another can of something. Be creative! If you don’t like the   taste…add something new!
Note: This recipe should not be used if there is an extended loss of power as in the case of a hurricane. Refrigeration is necessary for your stewp to live on. I had to throw away an otherwise perfectly good pot due to this oversight on one such occasion.
Buffalo Rice
Ingredients: rice, butter, hotsauce, garlic salt, water
Make rice…add a bunch of the remaining ingredients while boiling. It’s like buffalo wings...but cheaper! (but unfortunately not quite as tasty) To take that extra step towards realism, you could even put some bleu cheese or some ranch on top.
The Beer Sandwich
Ingredients: beer, bread
Take a slice of bread, preferably of the white sandwich variety, and pour 1-2 ounces of beer on it. I like to either fold it in half or ball it up real tight, but you can be creative with your own masterpiece. Serve with cold beer for best results.
Meat
Cook a bunch of meat and eat it.  Mmm, meat.
The Puerto Rican Pizza
Ingredients: notebook paper, hotsauce
Tear up small pieces of notebook paper…about ½” by ½” is perfect. Add a drop of hotsauce to each. Enjoy!

Although some of these recipes may seem odd…at least I have never, I repeat, NEVER: Cooked bacon and dipped it in mayonnaise as a meal. Who would do something like that?
