Check out the awesome dinner I made. Inspired by my nap

oh for sure, its all about what you are in the mood for....and i think the scent plays a HUGE role too, i know when it doesnt smell as delectible i am not as interested, but when i am loving the smells its putting out my mind starts wandering more and thats when i create things i really enjoy.

 

one thing nice about cooking...u can screw up and still make it turn out great, subsitute ingredients if needed or add to it and make it better...Baking on the other hand, if u mess up...u start from SCRATCH

 

thats why men dont bake in the first place.

 

I'm not much of a baker in the sense of pastries, i do like pizza, potatoes, etc. I rock the grill, stove top, and toaster oven generally.

 

IMO- I don't consider pizza and potatoes really baking even though it does go into the oven...I'd still consider that cooking in a way or just heating up...

I guess when I say baking, i meant more like breads, pastries, desserts, etc. My hands are a bit on the rougher side...Don't have the patient nor delicate hands for it...lol

 

lol...I wish I could go back and learn how to be a bit more advance on making cakes...especially wedding cakes and techniques/decorations...U can make very good $$$

 

talk to Emily, she does it for a living. lol

 

whose emily?

 

I<3WRSEX

She's a baker by day, my cooking arch nemesis by night.

 

haha...gotcha...I guess emily is ZZZzzzzz She has baker's hours...:banana:

 

i'd say bakers have a normal sleep pattern. Its us weirdos who are up til 4am on a car forum bantering about randomness that have fubared sleep times.

 

fubared or just about perfect? we can get stuff done when others are wasting away in bed.

 

I'll sleep when I'm 6 ft. under, i guess...:cheers:

 

hahahaah this thread is great...the last 2 pages are hilarious...oh and yes i did go to school but not everyone can go to school..i have been cooking my entire life and i myself do the same trial and error in the kitchen...ok so its Mexican you want..i make the best quisedllas yummy.....oh and some fresh fried cinnamon sugar tortia chips with whipped cream for desert. Or how about a deep fried crepe bowl filled with bananas foster served over ice cream! (comes with show and flambeing).

 

i just liked the cake! :-D

 

thats good!!!!!!!!! did you eat the rest of the frosting in beer mug!

 

No, to much sugar... would have sent me into shock!

 

Also, try using the juice from a jar of garlic stuffed olives. makes damn good marinade with a little pepper.

 

I can cook mac and cheese. Otherwise i grill pretty good...

 

^I'll second that.

Grilling FTW

 

i am a microwave master

 

Carl u r the Master of Microwaves

 

I'm not a big fan of olives, but have used the juices in those jars, or should I say barrels, lol...If I were to use garlic definately nothing beats fresh peeled garlic...Those garlic minced in jars are crap...gives off a bitter and awful after taste. Could be the preservatives they added

 

not a fan of mushrooms, olives or the texture of onions...garlic is where its at

 

Garlic is great if there are any vampires attacking you.

 

or gingers

 

true... good point.

 

This thread is making me fatter than I already am! lol.

 

whats the tomato sauce made with, chopped tomato and paste, or something else?

 

No, I unfortunately didn't have time to make a sauce so its Paul Newman's brand. I would've made a sauce, but didn't start this until 10:30-11pm and was too hungry. Just wanted it made.

 

carl????
