Warming up the Grill!
About this Cook
Im 32 yrs old. I love to cook and have been doing so since i was a kid. I have been a body piercer for over 10 yrs, if you are curious about the 'danthepiercer' nick.
My favorite things to cook
Lately i have been on a bit of a seafood kick. I just moved to Fl. about a year ago, and while i find it rather boring, i was absolutely delighted to discover that the fishing is excellent. Ive been grilling and pan frying lots of fresh yellow fin tuna, mahi mahi, red snapper, wahoo, sheepshead, and of course the monster gulf shrimp. I also love italian food like no one knows.
My favorite family cooking traditions
The cooking side of my family is the polish side. Big feasts for damn near any occasion. Lots of butter, lots of starch, and lots of kielbasa.
My cooking triumphs
Well the latest was when i drove with my fiancee from florida to michigan for a camping trip. I brought 15 lbs of beautiful fresh yellowfin tuna and 5 lbs of gulf shrimp packed in ice. I then impressed the hell out of her parents when i made peppered tuna steaks with a wasabi lime butter in the middle of the woods!
My cooking tragedies
Bragging about a cheesecake recipe i swore i had made before (i hadnt) that called for a ridiculus amount of rum. My friend swore it wouldnt set, i swore it would...i was wrong. i tried to fold in a ton of whipped cream and quickly chill it in the freezer, that didnt work either. a few of our friends poked at the 'rum goo' and a few even tasted it...lol.

Lentil and Sausage Soup
5 stars! Excellent recipe. Followed it pretty closely, but added an extra rib of celery and some extra garlic. I hit it with a hand blender for a few seconds to make it a little thicker. Will definitely make this again!

Banana Banana Bread
wonderful! this bread really is nice and dense. i like to eat it cold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a bit of chocolate syrup. as recommended by a few other users, i added 1.5 tsp vanilla and .5 tsp cinnamon.
