I love to cook but don't have much time to do it.
I tend to make dinner for everybody when I do cook. Breakfast and lunch are eaten on the run around here.

One of the people I live with is a chef and he does NOT like to cook at home if he doesn't have to. I started baking cokies yesterday and got called away and he wouldn't even put the last two batches in the oven. He does make lovely, yummy things to eat when he is in the mood to cook though.

Do you make the American Goulash or the real thing?

applekisses said:

There's American Goulash?

My mom's 100% German so I assume the stuff she makes is the real thing. She always makes potato dumplings to go with it.

But what's American goulash like?

about once a week

My dad, and tow of my best friends LOVE cooking though, so I get to
mooch off leftovers alot

every night and usually a huge breakfast on sunday.

Half of my family is Hungarian and it makes me crazy when people try to pass the hamburger/elbow macaroni/tomato concoction off as Goulash. It's like saying a Mexi-Melt is real Mexican food.

So it's basically Hamburger Helper?

Ours looks like this:

With some sauerkraut,noodles or dumplings on the side.

Ever cook rolade?

FruitToAttractBears said:

It's totally Hamburger Helper! I'm surprised they don't have a Hungarian flavor.

What's rolade?

applekisses said:

It's flank steak, and what you do is take bacon, scrambled egg and onion and wrap it inside the steak and tie with with string to keep it all together. Then you fry them in a skillet, and then let the roulade thingies simmer in gravy for a while. DELISH.

Grilled tofu tonight with oven roasted winter veggies.

i'm not german, but i live in germany and i cook rouladen!!! they're yummy! but take a long time bcause the meat needs to be tender. and i make knödels (dumplings), too. although here i can cheat sometimes and buy them ready formed in plastic packets, sort of the way they have rice at home in U.S. that you cook in water with the holes in it

Oh my gawd, I never bake either. Never.

Being good at cooking requires a little bit of knowledge and very little skill or precision. It's mostly about inspiration.

Being good at baking requires a lot of knowledge, skill, and precision. I SUCK AT IT.

Plus, it's almost impossible to scale down baking recipes for one person. Mary doesn't eat wheat or sugar, and I sure as fuck don't need to eat one dozen cookies any more than I need to eat two dozen. So, yeah, no.

I would looooove to have somebody to cook and bake for me. My husband used to do it a fair amount. Mary does sometimes, but since we don't live together it's a little different.

Cooking full meals: not often.

Every Sunday I cook for the week it's easier for me doing it that way.

3 growing boys in the house I cook 3-4 times a week. I am teaching my oldest most responsible one to cook now he is doing great.

Y'all are lazy.


I have three kids, two jobs, school and most of the time I cook dinner every day.

That's because you're a superhero. Many of us know this.

Plus, fine, we're lazy.

lazy

but my man likes to... so at least he won't starve

Stymie said:

come on Stymie. Hamburger Helper dont count.

irrisistableB said:

It don't?

once or twice a day for simple stuff, but about 3-4 times a week for actual recipes requiring measuring & spices & stuff.

Hardly ever. Maybe once a week at most. My husband cooks for me every night. He's an amazing cook though.

Stymie said:

need a roommate?

i rarely cook every day except on weekends. i love to cook but i just don't have the time or energy during the week. during weekdays my days end at about 7p.m. and still i gotta help with homework, my homework, and all other crap. stymie your good

Stymie said:

AND time to Org? Now, that's impressive!

Anx said:

Hell no.

What I cook would be very bad for you.

I org at work. I really should be studying for my commodities license while I'm here.

brownsugar said:

I can't be buying fast food for six people.

I cook at least 4-6 times a week.

I can cook up to 3 times a day 7 days a week.

Same here! I love to cook. While most people hate the thought of coming home from a long day of work to make dinner, I look forward to it. Cooking gives me time to myself, and is another outlet for my creativity. It is truly an artform. I love finding new recipes (then putting a little twist in them to make them my own) and getting ideas from the Food Network. I always look for excuses to cook for other people. That being said, everyone is invited to dinner!
