What do you like to eat? What are you eating? What's your favorite dish?

...What was the last dish you prepared for yourself? Twisted

Do you prefer healthy vs indulgent?
home-cooked vs takeout vs gourmet?
or are you up for anything, as long as you aren't paying? Big smile

lastly, do you post food pictures on the 'net... be honest. Lol

If yes, let's see that food from around the world... and what does it taste like?

I love cooking. My favourite ingredients are fish, mushrooms and onion.

The food I cook has a lot of fat in it. I cut no corners on butter or cream. I compensate by sticking to a 700 carb a day diet consisting of mostly shakes. Vegetables and chicken, followed by one proper dinner of good food at the end of the day.

Today for dinner I am making breaded cod, pan-fried in butter with sea-salt and black pepper, Served with boiled potatoes and a hollandaise.

almost every night is Thanksgiving for me: Microwavable stuffing and jellied cranberry sauce, the kind that comes in a can.

Angelique I don't even have the patience to bring water to a boil, otherwise my next choice would be spaghetti with plain marinara, the kind that comes in a can.

I feel ya on the light calorie count... I've been known to go calorie-negative when I'm trying to lose weight. Everyone I know thinks it's unhealthy to limit calories like that, so it's nice to know I'm not the only one who keeps a sub-1000 calorie diet when they can.

There's a short but solid list of things that are quick, cheap, clean, and not-unhealthy. Spaghetti or any sale on pasta (macaroni, bowties, rottini, etc), end-of-the-day supermarket baguettes dipped in marinara, and sometimes beans... the kind that come in a can.

that I should worry about losing my hearing is nonsense, because there will always be -=BASS=-

Potatoes are alright. Put them in the water with salt, turn on the stove and set the timer to 45 min. You won't have to touch them again until they're done. Less work than spaghetti.

You can make it 30 min if you just dice them a bit. Depending on the type you don't even have to peal them. Just brush them off a bit.

I do about 70% of the cooking, though it used to be less. Then my wife got a new job. Blink
But lately, she and my daughter have been on a baking kick. So last night it was empanadas with cherry pie. Odd combo, but what the hell. Smile A few days back, it was Cornish pasties. Rugelach have been showing up, too. Cool

Mostly though, I do the cooking. Chicken fried rice night before last. Tostadas before that.

I tend heavily towards American Southwest-style and Italian. Obviously, I slip some Chinese in there too.

Most recent major meal I've done though, was for our Anniversary night - Bacon-wraped, roquefort-stuffed filet mignon accompanied by jacket potatoes and steamed green beans and a green salad. It's actually a long-standing tradition of a meal for us, done on our Anniversary every year, conditions permitting.

Tatters are on the stove and the cod is breaded and ready for the pan.

Grade A Cod. Fantastic

4 Potatoes might be too much though.


I wonder what might be a good dinner for tomorrow.

i grill a great deal. all year long. but i also use the oven and stove. i like to try new recipes. i have a couple websites i go to for ideas. like the above poster i also do not skimp on taste. i try to stick to proper portions but sometimes seconds are just too tempting to pass up lol

i use a lot of chicken and pork. the bf is huge on seafood but i'm not. but i do like shrimp so we have that often as a compromise. i absolutely love vegetables of all kinds and make them often in many varieties. i like to make spicier foods and crushed red pepper, jalapenos and cayenne get used almost everyday on something.

am i some great chef? not particularly but i get the job done for us.

By far, I am the biggest veggie eater in the family. Steamed, raw, roasted, whatever. Smile

This evening, it was honey-dijon chicken with rice and peas, followed by homemade cherry pie. Cool

Ok, this thread just made me hungry again for some reason..... Roll

Between me and the wife, we share both cooking duties and grilling. I do almost all the baking.

Since she is Hispanic, we eat mostly Mexican/Spanish food when she cooks. When I cook, it's mostly German, French, and Asian. We both like to go a little heavy with cream, fat, and butter from time to time, but we'll look for more healthy alternatives and make smaller portions. There are only three of us to feed.

As to baking, I'll bake pretty much anything from what my grandmothers taught me to anything we find on the InterWebs that looks interesting.

When we grill, whether it's me or her, I'm the designated fire starter person. She has zero patience for that.

Surrender is still your slightly less painful option.

I have partial anosmia since childhood, so my sense of taste is rather limited, too.
Basically, I could live of garbage like a cockroach if I really wanted. But I do care for a nice look, so I often adorn my food with colorful fruits, fresh herbs or something like that to make it more pleasing on the eye.
I can taste food if it has an extremely strong taste like rocford cheese or anchovis, so I tend to eat stuff like this more often.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

I *love* bluecheese. I eat it like chocolate when I get the chance. Makes my tongue go numb.

You know what's great? When you think you're out of coffee. But then you look into the cup and it turns out it's actually half full.

It's like an itty bitty Christmas.


That's a double edged sword though. A month ago I was eating a pizza. I had it cut into 4 slices. I ate 3 and then I reached for the 4th slice and it turned out I had in fact already eaten all 4.

I was out of pizza. A slice I expected to be there was not there when I reached for it. I was heartbroken.

I made a Texas-style barbecued beef brisket this weekend. The weather wasn't good for doing the whole thing outdoors in a smoker, but this method worked about as well:
-Rub the brisket down with salt and pepper. Onion salt, garlic salt and/or a little Kikkoman soy sauce are optional.
-Grill it over hot coals, with the lid down and some wood chips added for smoke. I used apple wood this time. Sear it really well on both sides. There needs to be some burnt black showing on the meat.
-Wrap it in a few layers of aluminum foil and put it in the oven. 225 degrees F for two hours at the least. 4-6 hours is better.
-Slice it (against the grain, to cut through the stringiness) and serve with barbecue sauce, Japanese yakiniku sauce, or whatever you like. Plus your vegetables, of course.

It's easier in the summer, if you have a smoker. Start in the morning and just grill it, wrap it, and let your coals die down to low temperature. Leave it in the smoker all day, throwing in more charcoal and wood chips every couple of hours. When dinner time comes around it's perfect and ready to eat.

Edit: But this Tex-Mex meal is the one I fantasize about. The photo is from the inside cover of Z.Z.Top's album "Tres Hombres"

You better get some insulation and wrap that smoker next time. Any time all the time is BBQ time.
