  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

can/do you cook?

I am an intuitive cook (versus following recipes) and I like clean food/flavors and fresh ingredients and I like to not spend more than 20-30 minutes total making anything if possible.
 
I'm not a bad cook & most of what I make is fairly good. Except beef stroganoff. For some reason, even following a reciepe it turned out like socks floating in dish washing water.
 
I use to love to cook. Now it is too painful so I mostly eat out or buy pre-made stuff.

I can cook. Although, tonight's experiment...Cincinnati Chili...didn't turn out to be very good.

That about sums me up "Tonight's experiment". I can make somethings that have people begging for more and licking the bowl.... then make the next thing and wonder if i had a spout of amnesia and actually shit in the pot. All about consistency I guess.

I can, and do. I enjoy it quite a bit... plus, I sorta have to, otherwise I'll starve to death :lol:

Trust and believe, I'm right there with you! :lol:

But I have to be in the mood to cook.

My favorite dishes >> Chicken Alfredo, Jambalaya, steaks, and the honey-barbecue chicken drumsticks I did about 2 weekends ago.

As a kid, the local PBS TV station here used to (and I think still do) have two blocks of nothing but cooking shows both in the mid to late morning and in the late afternoon every Saturday. I learned a lot about cooking and food preparation by watching those shows - Jacques Pepin, Julia Child, Martin Yan ("If Yan can cook, so can you!"), the late great Justin Wilson (white wine and "on-yaw" - "onion" with a Cajun accent). I've actually tried some of the more simpler recipes I've seen down through the years (and had to modify some that originally contained alcohol until I got of age to buy).

I'm somewhat out of practice now for some of the dishes I used to do, but I'm sure I can be as good as I once was.
 
Not as well as watching cooking programs on the Food Network.

I do the basic of basic basics, and do not like prep work. I eat a lot of sandwiches. I can count the number of hot, full course meals I make in a given month on one hand with fingers left over... sometimes all fingers left over.
 
Whatever your situation, gay, single girl or single guy there are not many choices out there for you.

Either you eat out, buy in convenience foods or learn to cook.

I started cooking for my flat mates when I was around 20yrs old and have never stopped. It is something that comes naturally; I want to eat therefore I cook. But I am not obsessional about it, being quite willing to buy the occasional junk food meal to save me time.

Cooking is a pleasure though and I enjoy being in my kitchen rustling up a meal or baking a cake. The important thing when you are single is that apart from when you cook just for the pleasure that the preparation doesn't take more than 30mins other wise the "is it worth it" sensation sets in.

lol I'm alright. But I'm not one of those people that can cook just about anything flawlessly.

I think I'm better than I give myself credit for. My main issue is that I get "comfortable" with certain dishes and stick with them. So...lack of variety becomes an issue.

that's funny, I'm the total opposite.

I tell my boyfriend that if he really likes a recipe, he needs to let me know in no uncertain terms and specifically ask me to make it again... because left to my own accord, I'll cook a different recipe every night (whatever grabbed my interest on Pinterest or whatever cooking show I last watched).

the only time I fall back on old recipes is when I'm feeling lazy (let's say, all I have in the house is a protein and rice/beans and I don't feel like shopping or thinking outside of the box) or if I'm cooking for company and don't want to take a risk with an untested recipe.
 
I can be very creative in the kitchen if left to my own devices, but that's only if I'm cooking for myself. If I'm cooking for guests, I like to stick with my safety dishes or at the least I'll be sticking to recipes very closely. Generally I like to cook with someone else instead of cooking alone.

Cooking together can be fun.

Yes it can.... I met a young man, barista at a local coffee shop in the northland that I had not been to.... he was positively gorgeous and engaging, anyways to the topic we discussed the flare for finding what we want to eat every day and then making it up when we get home.... that is my favorite way to cook, I simply conceive a recipe or follow an old one and pick up ingredients.... then do my damnedest to get it tasty ....

so yeah I wanna be creative with that young man.....
 
I did macaroni and cheese tonight -- kinda boring, but I added bacon bits fried up right there with chopped mushrooms.

I used to make it with venison, too... need to acquire more of that.
 
this may sound dumb, but one of the most "romantic" moments I've had with my better half is the time we teamed up to bake peanut butter cookies. I dunno...something just felt so special about it.
