What are your other talents?

[Tiller]

I'm a decent shade-tree mechanic, I can turn larger bits of metal into smaller bits of metal with machine tools, and I'm not bad at home renovations. This: became this:

I have an appreciation for handy men.

Wait a minute...

Talents: does being able to field an AR15 blind folded count?

I've just finished leadership training for the Boy Scouts and offered an Assistant Scout Leader position in our son's troop.

First, hell yeah and second "On my honor, I promise to do my best, to to my duty, to god, to the Queen, to help other people and keep the scouts law" lol, l still remember that. I had a ball in the scouts, but wee had a young leader, girls were allowed in, a trip to Finland and I learned to abseil without a harnesss and facing down. Needless to say essential life skills but we didn't go in for badges much.

Planes I work on don't crash. (The model plane I've been working on lately has a bad habit of crashing into mountains in Afghanistan.)

I make a bad-ass lockpick.

I make the best quesadilla you've ever had.

Ok, well with the understanding that this is strictly confidential and you can never breath a word of it to anyone that you got this from me, I'd lose my redneck card if word ever got out.. but here goes:



any good veggie quesadilla ideas would be eternally grateful . Thanks. Ed

Ok, this is the quick and dirty version that is pretty easy to make and doesn't require a lot of prep - if you want to get crazy an roast your own peppers, etc - you can, but for something you can throw together in a reasonable time frame with almost zero prep work you can get the ones that are already fire roasted and frankly it will save you a lot of time and most people can't tell the difference in taste anyway.

So, you'll need:

Seitan
A jar of fire roasted red peppers
a couple of cans of diced tomatoes (I like the fire roasted on these too)
sliced black olives
Avocado
Green onions
Sweet onions
sliced mushrooms
Monterey jack cheese
Olive Oil
Tortilla

Ok, take your seitan drain off the broth and throw it in a frying pan. Add the roasted red peppers, add your chopped onions and mushrooms and drain the juice from the diced tomatoe cans into the frying pan but leave the diced tomatoes in the can, we'll use those later. Heat over low to medium heat until you get a slow boil going, stir it often. Then switch to low heat, cover and simmer for a bit - usually 5 to 10 minutes or so to give the Seitan a really nice flavor to it. If you like it a bit spicer add some green peppers to the mix as well.

In a second frying pan (preferably cast iron) add a light coating of olive oil (about half a teaspoon usually works well), use a medium to high heat and take your tortilla and fry it, flip it about ever 10 to 15 seconds till you get a nice brown on both sides and air pockets start forming in the tortilla. Reduce the heat to low - Now take your Monterrey jack shredded cheese and put a thin layer over the top of the tortilla, then use a fork and put in another nice thin layer of your seitan/mushroom/onion/pepper concoction on top of the cheese, add your diced tomatoes fold your quesadilla over in half (just like an omelette) and cover the pan, give it a minute or two and the cheese will melt.

You can add the avocado in if you wish, I prefer mine on the side.

And remember.. tell no one you got this from me.. lol

Oh, and for you non-vegetarian freaks - just change the word Seitan to Chicken.

Nice, I've always fancied trying Krav Maga, looks pretty similar to the style of Jujustu we do

Wow, I'm impressed you're cooking with seitan. I love the stuff. Make my own, too, though I "cheat" and just buy the vital wheat gluten instead of trying to wash it out of the flour myself. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Can't wait to try this recipe!

My wife says my hobby is collecting expensive hobby's. I guess she's right if you consider motocross, scuba diving and bass fishing expensive…… :roll:

I used to sew quite a bit, but it's been edged out by photography for many years. Still keep the machine handy but it's mainly for repairs or redesigning stuff I don't like.

I'm a pretty good cook, and love to bake. Have had pretty fair vegetable gardens in the past, too!

I also have an eye for editing. I mentally re-write things I read quite often - a quirk of mine, but I make them better. :mrgreen:
