About Doug and June

This Blog was the brainchild of Doug and June...as they spend as much time discussing food as just about anything else. I (June) suggested Food Porn as a name for this blog, but he (Doug) thought people would get the wrong idea and be looking for some oddly shaped cucumbers or something like that and I had to agree. So he came up with Food DJ (Food Doug & June) if you couldn't figure it out on your own. But you will find here is some awesome recipes and lovely pictures of food (and possibly the equally lovely Doug eating said food). However just warning you, I believe Doug has an unhealthy preoccupation with bacon. Might I (June)add that I love glossy, scrumptious, food-porn-filled cookbooks? The glossy paper, the photos that ooze calories, the chatty yet suggestive descriptions... ahh I smell sex and bacon.

Dirty Pirate...

That’s rum and coke with a some Kahlua. While we’d love to take credit for this awesomely name cocktail, we can’t. 

Pirates, Coke and booze, argggg, does it get much better than this??.. I think not... And if you need a variation, replace the Kahlua with peach schnapps for a Dirty Pirate Hooker.

  • 2 1/2 cups Coke
  • 1/3 cup Captain Morgan Spiced Rum
  • 1/3 cup Kahlua
Instructions:
  1. Place all ingredients in a large glass and stir to combine. Pour mixture into popsicles mold. (plastic cups)
  2. Freeze for about 2 hours or until mixture starts to solidify enough to hold a popsicle stick upright. Insert popsicle sticks and finish freezing popsicles overnight. To release popsicles run hot water on the outside of popsicle molds for a 2-3 seconds.
*Slightly flat Coke will produce a popsicle that stays frozen longer. To quickly and manually flatten out the carbonation, empty out enough Coke from a 2-liter bottle to leave a 3-inch space from top of bottle to top of coke. Place cap back on and shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Set aside to leave bubbles to subside.

You like fruit, you like booze, you like popsicles — hot damn, you like a lot of things. But here we can help with a few...
Before your skeptical brow can arch upwards, let us say — yes, you can freeze liquor.
And careful, these are deceptively kid-like in flavor but packed with adult enjoyment.

Sex on the Beach

Use the narrow handle of a spoon or fork to gently drag raspberry mixture through the pineapple mixture and against the walls of the mold for a soft swirling effect.
