I'm cooking pork chops and sauerkraut for dinner tonight. I will be cooking the sauerkraut in dill mustard.

Does anyone else here like to cook?

I cook seldom. But I enjoy it when I do. It nearly always turn out perfect.

I know basic stuff, never really broke out and tried other things. I enjoy cooking spaghetti and meatballs, omelets, grilling burgers and what not, but other than that, nothing to different. I want to, though. I had a cooking class back in high school and I feel all that stuff I learned is going to waste.

If I had more time I'd actually cook and bake a lot more - I like it cause it's kind of soothing (if you take some friends, a bottle of wine, fresh ingredients etc.).

It's the everyday cooking that's been really bugging me for quite some time now ... starting with the pesky question: What the hell am I going to cook for dinner?

Uh, I like Moe's Southwestern Grill. I don't about cooking though.

I like making grilled cheese sandwiches. That's about it. I'm hungry now.

I love to cook. I try to cook just about every meal I eat. It makes me feel a lot healthier than eating out all the time. I've been doing this for just over a year now and I've gotten pretty damn good at it. I love roasting whole chickens.

I like how roasted chicken/turkey looks, (my thoughts partialy go to Mr.Bean, warm feelings) but I hate to eat it. I don't like to hold the bones, almost suck them and so on. If food-surgery, then fish-ish only. But I love the taste of poultry. It's my favourite kind of meat. I often make a chicken/turkey's breast chops. Those and soya ones. I love to make fancy sandwiches. Grilled cheese sandwiches too. And salads. I use a lot of tomatoes. Not-measuring things but tasting meal and feeling that all things I used are in right proportions makes me happy. I don't cook often in strict sense, rather in preparing. Enjoy it a lot anyway.

You know, I realize that I've been imagining all users from the BBS living in NY City like characters of Friends. The chicken thing doesn't help. Now, my brain thinks you look exactly like Monica. Your appartment is really cool.

Being able to roast whole birds is the line between "can cook a little" and "can cook, for reals". I can do it, but I avoid it as much as possible because it's tricky, annoying and poultry tastes like cardboard (unless it's gooses).

In keeping with my general cavemannyness and my unwavering belief that Mad Max will happen and I need to be ready for it, I've stopped learning to cook new things in the kitchen, and all the new stuff I try is open fire and coalpit baking, using only dried/canned food (and fresh meat). I can make some pretty decent stuff now, even a few desserts.
