I am going on a weekend camping/float trip with some friends, and we are having a giant dinner where everyone brings a certain item. It started out as hamburgers and hotdogs. As the years have gone by that we've done this, dinner has gotten more elaborate. Last year we made this awesome giant campfire pizza and a pie in a skillet for dessert. Nothing too crazy. This year, we have a professional chef coming along with us. She was on Food Network and participated in Cupcake Wars, (didn't win in the last round, her icing was too sweet) (yes I scoped her episode) but has her own restaurant. I am typically a nice person, and I consider myself a pretty freaking great cook. I grew up in a very traditionally Hispanic household, and my grandmother taught me how to cook great things. Anyway, when I first met this chef, we were talking about who would bring what. I said I could do dinner, and she asked what I was bringing. I mentioned making sopez and posole (sopez are like tostadas made with masa that hold various ingredients, posole is a type of soup made with hominy). She told me, "Oh, I think I'll do dinner. I rarely cook Hispanic food, it is just a knock off of the real cuisine from Spain, mixed with some Texas trash." Needless to say, she and I are not going to be bosom buddies or anything.
I got stuck with dessert, and I fully intend to kick her butt. My plan is to go with some lemon-pistachio cupcakes and raspberry vodka icing, and finish with a bourbon flan made over the campfire. I was feeling good about that until I found out she was ROASTING AN ENTIRE PIG OVER A FIRE. How do I top that? Make a pie that shoots fireworks? Make an Eiffel Tower replica out of chocolate stems and baby strawberries? Roast a blue whale? (Joking aside I would never do that, whales are great).
I need to beat her. I need her to taste my food and cry in the face of defeat. I need to roar, "EAT IT" while she devours my food in horror and pleasure. What do I make to blow her world apart? I want her to BURRRRRRRRRRRRN.
*Endnote, I am not okay with my culture being put down, especially my food.
*tl;dr best dessert I can make ever to kill a chef with my skillz

Anything. It could be a tiramisu made from the eyes of goats, I don't care. It just needs to be great.0 -
Well, It needs to either be self sustaining in heat or able to pack away in a cooler, or I can make it in a skillet.0

I even have a Pinterest Board that I labeled "I love cake."
But the Raspberry Vodka Frosting? OMG.
I don't give a spit about the pig. I want cake.

I don't really dig dessert. But just wanted to say her comment makes me want to punch a hoe. What a ****.
I kind of hate that your soiree has went the route of fancy and away from burgers and brats.0 -
Dude, you've got it covered. She may be roasting an entire pig, but when it comes down to it, it's just some pork.0

This is a weight loss website and this seems very counter productive to all our goals.0 -

Honestly, we are all kind of food snobs. I'll admit it. I say that while contemplating Sonic for lunch... so you can take that with a grain of salt. I think it is just a tradition for us, something to show off to the other campers how cool we are.0 -

I hope you are being sarcastic because I would be able to easily have one of these and not feel bad about it. This is not a WEIGHT LOSS website. There are also people on here who want to GAIN weight or MAINTAIN weight.
Also, this is listed in the "Chit Chat/Fun and Games" forum, not the Motivation or Weight Loss Recipes area.
I'm excited to hear what you decide, Mikki. when is this camping trip again?0 -
