How many of you like to cook? (kinda fruity question)

INsr5runner · 01-28-2004, 04:29 PM

ok ok keep the flaming to a minimum, but I'm about to go cook my dinner, and I must say I like to cook a lot more than eating out. especially with my workouts, and trying to keep a balanced diet.

So who else likes to cook?

I LOVE to cook!
In fact, in the 'official' cook on my platoon.
Try cooking for 12 hungry firefighters.

And as for 'fruity'...chicks dig a guy who cooks at least as well as they do!

INsr5runner · 01-28-2004, 04:33 PM

I agree about the chicks, except it kinda sucks when I can cook MORE, and BETTER than my g/f! :pat:

I cook more than my wife. Its no big deal. I like to cook and she doesn't.

PoBoy · 01-28-2004, 04:42 PM

My Fiancee is a great cook...but I still make my own meals 5 days a week. Just grilled up 2 bugers and fried up some potatoes. Im not much for eating heatly (Im that kid destined to have a heart attack at 30). I just like to cook because its a hell of a lot cheaper than eating out and I make some pretty mean burgers and pastas. Its also very satisfying to have a special meal that you have perfected and everyone wants some.

nothing fruity about cooking. unless you wear a frilly apron.

i used to cook alot in college and after college, but since getting married, my wife does most of the cooking. shes a better cook so im not complaining.

i like to grill more now, though.

I enjoy cooking. It's a great diversion. It better be, or I'll cut myself. I've taken cooking classes and have many cookbooks, but usually cook American style, mostly grilling, and sometimes French or Italian. Some of my favorite cuisine, although I don't cook it, is Japanese. I'm not sure why...

toy283 · 01-28-2004, 05:19 PM

I like to get behind a stove on occasion. I'm usuaally too poor to go get the necessary ingredients and I certainly don't have a stock of essentials. More than once have I been heading to the store and got sidetracked at a restaurant (usually a new one).

Flygtenstein · 01-28-2004, 05:19 PM

I cook a lot and really like cooking.

Unfortunately, I live with 4 other dudes and to them cooking is turning on the pizza oven or picking up the phone.

Mostly I cook Tex-Mex type stuff, peppers, onions, beans, rice, chicken then wrap it in a tortilla, usually spicy.

I got a cool Beer Cheese cookbook for Christmas and have been checking out a lot of those recipes. So far nothing has been earth shattering.

Glenn · 01-28-2004, 05:19 PM

I love to cook for my g/f. She is handier in the kitchen than I am, and I am always learning how to make nice meals.

I used to work as a prep cook in a restaurant, and tha twas a lot of fun too.

Let me know if you hit a winner...Ive been trying all sorts of beer cheese soup and dip recipe's...the come out decent, but not spectacular by any means.

oly884 · 01-28-2004, 05:23 PM

I love to cook, but it's all on the grill. Thats the best way to do it.

Krash · 01-28-2004, 05:58 PM

Heck when ya live by yourself and don't have a extremely large budget, due to mods invoked by this place, you learn to cook. I like cooking except during the winter when its cold outside and can't use the grill, kinda angry my gas grill went kaput last summer. I need to go get a new one. I agree the grill is the best way to go. More manly too

INsr5runner · 01-28-2004, 06:01 PM

I love using the grill, but when it's cold like it is now, the foreman gets the grilling action.

I like non-grill cooking a lot though. I ended up with a tuna casserole tonight, with a baked potato as a side.

Cebby · 01-28-2004, 06:02 PM

I love to cook, but don't always get the chance since my wife is an excellent cook (she has her own catering company!)

KING · 01-28-2004, 06:04 PM

I do enjoy cooking.

I prefer to cook breakfast meals.

TDiddy · 01-28-2004, 06:07 PM

I love cooking. My favorite is making homemade spaghetti sauce and meatballs. That's a fun project when you have some time to kill on a weekend. Go to the store for fresh ingredients, the great aromas form the stove...mmmmm.

Where's the write up and pics

Just Kidding.

**waskillywabbit** · 01-28-2004, 07:22 PM

If I want to eat, I cook! The wife and I take turns with cooking duty, whoever gets home first! But she is by far the better cook, as I just typically cook a big hunk of meat with a side item!

Write up? That's easy enough, I can post the recipes. Pics? Not yet, but there will be next time!

We used to have a trail food recipe section, I'm not sure if its still around, but we should just use that for all recipes if it is.

jx94148 · 01-28-2004, 07:24 PM

I cook for a living and have a lot of fun doing it. I like to cook at home to. Right now I have some taco meat simmering. Last night was shrimp coctail, tomorrow might be beef stew.

A great way to impress a woman is to cook filet mignon for her.

jruz · 01-28-2004, 09:02 PM

I like to cook...but my wife is far better.

I'm "better at layering" though (as she says). I'm good with lasagna, nachos, tiramisu, etc...

phosho · 01-28-2004, 10:02 PM

I used to enjoy it... then I got a culinary degree worked 60 hour weeks + weekends and holidays for 15 years then on top of that married a woman (waitress at the time) that cant "cook" a cup of ramen noodles. I find it to be a bit more of a PITA now a day and wish there was a pill to supply the necessary daily nourishment.

I still have a passion for cooking I just gotta dig a little deeper to stay creative.

knemo77 · 01-29-2004, 12:13 AM

i worked my way through college cooking at numerous places....but now my idea of cooking is making a sandwich. If you look at 99% of chefs out there, they are men and they don't look too fruity.
