I was looking for a variation of the "What's cooking at your house?, What foods do you like best?" thread.
With this thread, I was looking for those of you who have a specialty they like to prepare that is in high demand by friends and family.
In my case, it is my crepes.
I prepare some mean crepes that seem to be a big hit. Whenever mine or my wife's family visits from out of town, they always request that I prepare my crepes for breakfast. My wife likes me to prepare her a breakfast of crepes to celebrate our anniversary or her birthday.

Sounds wonderful! What do you fill them with?
hmmmm.....in the winter...or if the nephews are here they are always asking me to make vegetarian Hoppin' John...smoky black eyed peas on rice with smoked chedder, tomatoes and a dollop of sour cream on top...my sons and nephews are all big boys and they ALWAYS ask. I also make great coconut curries

The crepes are desert crepes with a hint of sugar. I serve them plain and leave it up to the individual to fill them as they please. I personally like to top mine with maple syrup.

Two things: basil burgers and my greens.
Yesterday's basil burgers were made with garilc, basil, black pepper, shallots and soy sauce. I'm also not at home so experimented a bit with this "spice rub" that I found at my favorite hoity-toity little market in town. The grillmeister cooked them perfectly. After they are done, put thinly sliced tomato (I use on the vine type) on top, with a spoonful of crumbled gorgonzola. Let guests dress the buns with gourmet mustard, ketchup, etc. If I make them without the shallots, sliced red onion really livens them up.
As for the greens, I make them the soul food way, which is to boil the hell out of them in broth made with some kind of really-bad-for-you pork product, preferably smoked hamhock. Obviously, I do not have a kosher or halal kitchen, but if some Jewish or Muslim or non-pork-eating friends are coming over, or the party is an unknown mixed crowd, I'll make them with smoked turkey wings.
I give guests a couple choices for condiments - Crystal brand pepper sauce, or an Asian touch which goes over REALLY well...gourmet soy sauce and Thai sriracha garlic pepper sauce.
Never fails to please.
I make a fabulous chicken parmesan (sp?) with spaghetti.
Here is what you do, you boil water, put the pasta in the pot. Then you forget to set the timer and get busy doing other things. One hour later when you smell something you run back to the kitchen and see what is now almost a fire on your stove. Turn off the gas, open the door, use pot holders and throw the entire thing outside to cool.
Now order in chicken P / spaghetti from Mama Lisa's restaurant and in 30 min you're ready to eat.
Total time from beginning to end about 2 hours so start early!

So, you have decided to start cooking with hemp. Get ready for a very rewarding time as while you cook you will be cooking with the best plant in the world.

OMG Kim, that's high-larry-us!
I've done that a few times. The last time was when I was boiling potatoes to make potato salad. I left the kitchen to be closer to the radio because Randi was on. Then Brother David called her and they had a long chat. I sat down to listen....and soon started smelling something weird. It smelled electrical so I started checking all the cords and wires in the house. I went into the kitchen to get my flashlight so I could check the fuse box and saw the smoke coming from my now dessicated taters. I was so swept away with Randi & Brother David that I had completely forgotten they were on the stove. It took 3 days for the weird smell to go away.
It took me a few attempts but I can make a wicked good eggplant parmesan. It's a lot of prep work so I only make it when I have a few hours to spend.
My specialty is the Beef Stew as per the Rhodies' Favourite Recipe Thread.
