Tasty Tuesday???

As you may already know, Donna has a copy of the Pickle Tickling book, and she sent me this recipe. I have made similar concoctions before, but never noticed that it had any particular effect. Confused? Read on.

You'll understand soon. . . .

I found this interesting recipe in the Tickle His Pickle book, which I'm donating to you for research. I'm finding the illustrations very amusing. And it's very educational! Did you know that another name for the one of my favorite teasing places is the "Taint?" The perineum is nicknamed the "TAINT" because if you say this fast: it ain't the balls it ain't the butthole, you get TAINT! LOL! But this chapter caught my eye. . .

Tasty Tuesday Tilapia!

When Donna sent me this recipe back in early December, she was having some dental problems. I believe she's doing better these days, but her solution to the problem is still mighty tasty! I tried this one out last night, and, trust me, it's a keeper. With all that butter and garlic, it smelled incredible while it was baking--not fishy at all!




Tilapia with Lemon Garlic Butter

Ingredients

• 4 tilapia fillets
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

Tarq's Tasty Tuesday Omelet!

So, Yah-Yahs (and other lurkers)! What do you think of the cover for Stud?

In honor of this occasion, I thought I'd put up a recipe that is mentioned in the book. His secret ingredient, alas, is not available on Earth, but it's still pretty good without it.

And, yes, he can cook it for you....

Tarq's Favorite Omelet

In a small skillet, saute 2 or 3 sliced fresh mushrooms in 1 tbsp butter over medium heat until cooked through. Set aside.

Beat together:
3 eggs
2 tbsp milk
1/4 tsp salt
2 dashes of ground black pepper
1 tsp or more of basil pesto

Melt 1 tbsp butter in a non-stick skillet. Heat until bubbling. Add egg mixture and cook until done, either by flipping the omelet near the end of cooking or by lifting the cooked eggs to allow the liquid mixture to run underneath it. When omelet is done, top with mushrooms and grated cheese of your choice. Fold in half and enjoy!

Tasty Tuesday Blueberry Buckle!

Took down my Christmas tree last night. Now I need something really tasty to get me over my post holiday blues. Hmmm.... let's see now.... This looks like just the ticket!

Donna sent me this one a while back. Maybe blueberries will help to liven up the winter doldrums!
