Do you cook ?
- Thread starter MAJOR METAL
- Start date
I enjoy cooking a lot, but unfortunately if I have to go out and buy the ingredients, I'd usually rather not cook. If I have the ingredients available to me then I will have no problem whipping something up.
Hell ya, eating stuff i made last night rite now...
Thai Curry beef, Thai curry chicken and pad Thai... MMMM pretty good...
Cooking FTW
I usually get some idea (the basics), and then just go with it myself... (ie... "where is the salt, where is the salt, damn salt... mmmm this thing will be good in there... wth is it? oh um... smells like it might be ok... ok i'll put it in there... salt, salt, salt hmmmmm garlic... this thing does need more garlic... salt salt salt, mmmmm is that soy sauce? who cares, it looks good... salt, salt, salt, mmmm this stuff, i've seen it before, it's going in... salt, salt salt, oh there is salt... oh and behind it is some sort of a thing... eh it's going in there too, hmmm... hmmmm, eh... who cares... if it's not enough i can always add more salt if it's too much i can always make the dish bigger...") that was an episode of me cooking...
PS Don't touch another man's grill....

Yep, but same as you I would rather use someones recipe the first time. If I make it again I will experiment a little and tailor it to my taste. Especially things with marinades and sauces.
I'm still perfecting my beer can chicken. My older brother has challenged me to a cook-off this 4th of July. Poor guy doesn't stand a chance.

I prefer to go without a recipe, although lately people have been asking me to write down my recipes so they can cook for themselves.
I don't really bake ever, but if I need to I'll work from a recipe as baking is more precise than most types of food prep.
I prefer to go shopping and see what's fresh and what strikes my fancy and then work from there. I tend to like to make things with bold flavors and super fresh ingredients.

I love to cook. I only know how to make a few things well, but they are DAMN good. Extra-spicy too...

Basic stuff, easy recipes, lots of bakery.
Anyone here has some good bread recipes?
My breads are ok but they are rather 'heavy' despite adding enough yeest (?).

Yes. I figure that as I would be eating every day for the rest of my life, I might as well enjoy it and do it well.
It seems like since things are no longer like Pleasantville and women are a large part of the workforce now most men know how to cook.
Absolutely, I do all the cooking in the family. I love it, definately a passion of mine. Even went so far as to get cooking certificates in a local school here. It's not my job but something I do on the side.....
Other than breakfast, I only cook outdoors. I like to BBQ, fry turkeys, fish, frog legs, boil peanuts, crawdads, make chili, etc. I had a good friend of mine fabricate all my outdoor cooking equipment, mostly from stainless steel, it's a intersting collection of stuff 
+1 on that brother...I don't let my wife cook at all. She even admits that she can really only boil water....

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to...
I cook and rather well actually... Im not inventive or anything, its more like... im not ********. I see a recipe, and follow it, i approach it more like science. ROFL

Yep, frequently (>3 times a week, a duty shared with my Mom).
I love cooking, particularly when it's with someone, like a best friend or girlfriend so you can have some fun at the same time.
