Can you believe I almost fucked up a simple chicken dish??? I should have made the wine/broth ratio more in favor of the broth (too much wine!). But I was able to save it, it's actually pretty good.

And I made curry eggplant, so I cooked TWICE this weekend - that's a record for me

I haven't cooked since 2005.

The act of turning on a burner and putting something on a stove. Wow. I haven't done that in a WHILE.

I move around too much. Actually, I take that back. I made some scrambled eggs sometime late last year.

But I barely cook, though. Sandwiches and tea don't count for me.

I enjoy home food and eating out! I don't cook at all cause i live at home- but i LOVE cooking- it's ludicrous ...well if i love food then ofcourse i'd love the process of putting something special together! I will never complain of cooking when i'm out of home! I find it relaxing

But it all depends on what im eating if we're talking in general!

If we're talking good company i don't care either way!

I think I'd forgotten how GOOD eggplant is, gonna have to dig up some recipes. I've always loved it but I'd forgotten about it or something

I love eating out, and would do it more often, if it wasn't so expensive. I like not having to prepare, cook, and clean up the meal afterwards. I would cook more for myself, but it's kinda hard to cook for only one person. Sure I can cook something and maybe cut the recipe in half, but even when I do that, I still have tons of it left over. After eating the same thing for several days, I find that I tend to get tired of it. What about you?

I tried to mimic a dish from a restaurant that's basically baked eggplant w/ plum sauce - it's really good in the restaurant but mine was nasty as fuck I think I'm missing an ingredient, maybe miso

Becoming a good cook requires time and patience though...you can't expect yourself to make fabulous dishes right off the bat. It took me years to know what the heck I was doing and what stuff like "minced" or "sauteed" meant. My boyfriend actually thinks I'm a great cook now...that was NOT how it was like when we first started to cook..I ruined practically EVERY dish I created. Now my boyfriend thinks I'm one of the best...and it REALLY is hard to please him because his mom is such an excellent cook. Although I'm STILL trying to get him into my more exotic and vegitarian dishes.

Wow, this thread is still going?

Any excuse to talk about food. Plus, orgers don't generally get into disagreements with this topic which makes it nice.
