And I don't mean merely scrambled eggs, omlets and grilled cheese.

cup noodles and variants don't count either.

Nope. I'd like to learn but I never have the time.

There is no poll option for my situation.

I cook when it's convenient. Right now, in college, it's not that convenient. My biscotti is to die for :D

I cook whenever I get the chance. And when I want to impress people, I make Provencal chicken. It takes about 4 hours, but I've had people tell me it's the best chicken they've ever had.

Yeah, whenever I get the time I cook something exciting. I find it very rewarding and enjoyable.

It happens to me, when there is no more junk food lying around, so the only option left is cook.

Yes, I have to. There is no decent (for the price) Korean restaurant around here so I have to make my own dinner.

I cooked every day last week.

Stuff I've made this week:

Campanelle with pancetta and spinach
Yakisoba with garlic chicken
Santa Fe Omelette

*
I'll probably go home to the 'rents house more often to cook.. my mom is remodeling her kitchen. She spent more on appliances (ALL Viking) than most people spend on cars.

well, I grill steaks, burgers, and chicken, other than the easy stuff like eggs, toast, noodles, etc... that's about it.

Where's the option for people who cook every day for their family, not necessarily love it but have to do it? If I only had to cook sometimes, or if I had enough time to plan and cook a great meal, or if people that wolfed it down appreciated the effort, I might love it. I'm fueling three males upon whom subtleties/nuances of cooking are lost. I work full time outside the home but am nonetheless the one who is expected to get food on the table and cleaned up.

I cook dinner for myself just about every night of the week. Of course there are those lazy nights where I don't want to cook a d@mn thing because I have had a rough day of school, but I generally cook every night.
