MCDANK

This is exactly what it looks like. A mcchicken in the middle of a double quarter pounder.
This is probably the worst possible thing you can ever eat, but it's incredibly delicious. I'd not suggest more than one a month though.

This abomination more than likely shaved a chunk off my life-expectancy.

Corey in the house cookies

Since moving into my current residence, we've had quite a problem with mice.
Recently, my housemate and I decided we ought put a stop to their tyranny, and in response purchased some mouse traps and peanut butter to use as bait (crunchy of course, everyone loves crunchy peanut butter). However, they only sold large tubs of it, and i'm not really a fan of peanut butter in sammiches, so I decided to make a peanut butter/choc-chip cookie hybrid. The Corey in the house cookies was the end result.
Named such due to the fact that I couldn't get the theme song out of my head as I cooked 'em.

Unlike your traditional cookie recipe, these contain -no- brown sugar. Not for any flavor-related reason, simply because the shit is expensive and I already had plenty of white sugar in the cupboard. The recipe itself is pretty cheap'n'easy, I can see myself doing more of these.

Le' Ingredients-
1 cup o' sugar
1/2 cup of melted butter
1/2 cup of peebnub bubba (If you're not using crunchy you're doing it wrong.)
1 egg
1 1/2 cups of SR flour
As much dark choc-chips as you see fit
Vanilla to taste.

I blended the melted butter, vanilla, sugar, egg & peanut butter all together first, then threw in the SR flour. Once it was all doughy I started putting in choc chips until it seemed to be an even-ish spread.
Roll the dough into balls (keep in mind it'll expand when you cook it), put it on some grease-proof paper on a baking tray, press it down a little and cook at 160c for about 15 minutes. They should be flattened out and have some cracks on the top. When you take 'em out of the oven they'll be quite squishy, you need to let 'em cool before you transfer them to a plate or crack pipe or whatever.

THE CHOAD.

 Aptly named, the choad looks like some sort of bodily waste belched from the square-anus of a mexican. However despite the way it looks, this cake (yes, it's a cake) was actually fucking delicious.

It was some time ago, in the wee hours of the morning- Heather and I sought delicious chocolate mudcake although neither of us were really in the right frame of mind to cook. We took a simple chocolate cake recipe, doubled the amount of chocolate (We had extra, you see), and omitted the coffee as we had recently run out due to our housemates debilitating short-term coffee addiction.

The cake itself came out rather well- the icing on the other hand is what gives the choad it's delightfully effluent-esque visage. The icing sugar was lumpy, and neither of us could be bothered to sift it and so there were tasty little chunks of icing sugar all over. Upon icing the cake it was given it's name, and then we ate it. All of it.

The recipe is as follows (Perhaps future choads should be less lumpy in the icing sugar department and moreso in choc-chips- although I guess it depends on the mood):
200g butter
200g of cooking chocolate (the more the merrier!)
1/4 cup of water
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup caster sugar
3 eggs
3/4 S/R flour
Vanilla to taste


Put the butter, chocolate, water, cocoa and vanilla in a saucepan, and mix it over a nice low heat. In the meantime, get your sugar and eggs and whisk the fuck out of them, add your melted chocolate mix when it's done, then your flour.
I think we cooked it at about 180 degrees for 55 minutes or so? Our oven is shit. Such is life.
As for the icing, i'm not entirely sure about the amounts but as for ingredients it was rather rudimentary- just cocoa powder, icing sugar, butter and milk. Put all that shit in a bowl and mix it. Everyone knows how to make icing, right?
