Cooking!
-
Hi all, how many of you can fix yourself a decent meal/know how to cook? it seems to me cooking a meal is tougher than writing an ATL control(or whatever). as I'm a bachelor, I used to mostly eat out. recently, thanks to my mom, who is a great cook, i'm learning how to cook. nothing ravishing so far, and am cooking for only a coupla weeks (have got a few complains from my neighbour for the thick smoke but no problems with the fire brigade...so far..) cooking definately no child's play. i'm proud to say that yesterday i fixed a whole a meal for meself( and ate it too).:-) what about you guys? how about a cooking section here at cp? :-D Hush..Hush.. thought I heard you calling my name now...
Hey, congratulations. It's a shame you're not more local - I'd gladly swap some ATL lessons for some cooking ones. Cooking is good fun, if you've got the time. It is also cheaper and healthier than eating out ( you don't think they care if the tomatos in the pasta sauce are a little mouldy at the local Italian place, do you ? ) Oh, it's also an excuse to crank up the stereo and dance half naked in the kitchen. Oops, sorry for the frightening window into my personal life.... Christian #include "std_disclaimer.h" People who love sausage and respect the law should never watch either one being made. The things that come to those who wait are usually the things left by those who got there first.

G'day Amit, I lurve cooking. I just wish I was better at it. After 13 years of writing cost-control software for Chefs, I've managed to accumulate >100k recipes in my test database. When I've got the time I dig up an interesting looking recipe from the database and have a crack at cooking it. Not always a sucess, but always an adventure. Steve

Heh, I can cook:
- French toast
- Scrambled eggs
I don't even have the gas turned on in my apartment; I'd never use it anyway. ;) --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ "Holding the away team at bay with a non-functioning phaser was an act of unmitigated gall. I admire gall." -- Lt. Cmdr. Worf

I love cooking. But it turns out it's hard to cook for two, even harder for one, so mostly I just reheat frozen stuff these days. my music, my cooking, my sex life - all casualties of my busy life.

I realy enjoy cooking. It is a great stress breaker after a long day of coding. From experiene I've noticed that often opening a bottle of wine or beer helps produce better results. My partner and I alternate cooking each night, which works well for us. I happen to think I'm a reasonably good cook. We boh find the hardest thing each day is to work out what to cook. I must say though that I don't enjoy cooking for a group very much and I'm not that good at it. Fortunately my partner is. Bottom line - cooking is great. Its very rewarding all around.

Sometimes I like to cook, and I does most of the everyday cooking, and my wife does most of the cooking if we have guests. But, sometimes I think it's a big waste of time, spending almost a hour in the kitchen, then eating all of it in 30 minutes... - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

Well, I have a habit of cutting myself, and so it's a matter of self preservation that I have jocks on. It's also kind of a hygiene issue.... :eek: Christian #include "std_disclaimer.h" People who love sausage and respect the law should never watch either one being made.

Christian, I think you are a conditate for KNIFE.Net - it won't actually be sharp until you are just about to cut what you want to cut - it's called "Just In Time Technology Electronic Resonance Sensor". The configuration menus are self explanatory and only teke .. ATL Student :rolleyes:

Hi, Cutting is one thing, but what about spilling hot soup??!!:) christian, take better care of U R privates.:-D may I suggest a pink PEANUTS apron? :-O Hush..Hush.. thought I heard you calling my name now...
Sounds very sezy - is that a recommendation from experience ??? As for the soup, I can afford to take some risks, I already have my two children....

I really enjoy cooking also. I am mostly a barbecue-er. I have found that that the local (Oregon) Pinot Noirs are excellent with most things I cook. I have also collected quite a few links to sites with recipes. Here is my recipe links page : http://home.earthlink.net/~rickyork/Recipes.htm

Nice links. You might want to add www.epicurious.com to that list. It has archived recipies from Gourmet and Bon Appetit (among others). ------------------------------ Smaller Animals Software, Inc. http://www.smalleranimals.com

Yep, I love my Peanuts apron.:) it's actually a gift from someone and though I though of it as rather 'unmanly', but hey! everybody's gotta get in touch with their feminine side sometime! :-O Hush..Hush.. thought I heard you calling my name now...
