i truely adore cooking... it is an art form

i love to spend all day in the kitchen making a meal for my family... i take great care in making foods that are both pretty and yummy at the same time.... i would be very sad if i couldnt cook anymore


last week, i made something new for my kids... wasnt sure how they'd like it, but it went over really well we had BBQ country style ribs... sweet and spicy (gotta love it ), we call them connies potatoes (most folks call them party potatoes you know, the ones with the cornflakes on top ), cole slaw, both corn bread and corn bread with peppers and cheddar cheese in it, fresh green beans seasoned just right... and homemade peach cobbler .... it was fantastic if i do say so myself


2 days ago, i had my brother and his family over for dinner, i served pot roast (because my 5 year old nephew loves my roast), fresh dinner salad, jello salad, and fresh baked bread.... for dinner we had apple caramel bars that i made for the first time, they were actually pretty good


i love to cook for my dates... its an expression of caring, so much better IMO than going out to eat


i also enjoy taking fresh baked cookies to friends and family....

and at christmas time i spend the last 2 weeks in the kitchen making about 10-15 different types of cookies and then 7 or 8 different types of candies....


yeah, i'd be really sad if cooking wasnt necessary anymore

girl, girl, GIRRRRRLLLL


ok, here ya go... take them with ya next time you have to take a side dish, your friends will thank ya


melt 1/2 stick butter in frying pan.... chop up one onion and fry in there with the butter. after the onion is fried, add one med. carton sour cream, one and a half cans of cream of mushroom soup, and one package (2 cups) shredded cheddar cheese... melt all together.

in large bowl, stir the above with one bag of country style hashbrowns (the square ones).... put into a 9X13 inch dish. sprinkle with a bit more cheddar cheese, but dont put a whole bunch on.

then, melt the other 1/2 stick butter in frying pan... finely crumble corn flakes into melted butter. sprinkle over the casserole.

bake at 350 for about an hour, or until hot and bubbly..... trust me, this one is FANTASTIC ! its everyone's favorite around here.

any of you guys remember the orginal Star Trek episode when the Enterprise gets hijacked by a ship of people who ate only nutrient suppliments and had no sort of physical pleasures? Remember how they beat them by getting them drunk and feeding them real food?

I don't want to be those people.

not into Gary Numan, but blade runner is one of my favourite films

2the9s said:

there would be a special pill for you called the "shut your cakehole," pill.

I've thought about this. . .I think it would be nice to have the option. I find cooking to be a major hassle. It would be nice to be able to take pills most of the time, and enjoy food, sort of as an art form, perhaps a couple of times per week.

Woman : If you were my husband, I would poison your tea.
