Im suddenly inspired to learn to cook

[TallBill]

Well... not necessarily full meals.. but i'd like to learn some easy to medium things... im not a complete retard when it comes to cooking, but i aint that great... anyways.. anyone got some ideas for some stuff i should make?

Tonight im making some bread(bread machine.. easy stuff.. but still fun), brownies, and an omlette + sausage.

Next up.... tacos, hamburgers (real ones, not premade), spaghetti (real stuff), etc... like i said.. not impressive stuff.. but i'd like to get my culinary skills up.

Btw, i also bought some fruits and veggies for me to practice cutting up

Any good sites for n00bs? Recipes, techniques, etc

And Here


I've saved a lot of money by cooking, rather than going out. Although, i love to go out still.

Forget it, some guys are born not to cook, and I'm one of them. I'll have to stick with bad food or go out...I choose the latter.

lol.. well i love the taste of finer foods.. and my father introduced that world to me... so.. if i could wet my own appetite.. that would rock...

Ahh.. that's were SOAR went! It was hosted at Berkeley for the longest time, but disappeared one day. Been wondering what happened to it. I'm happy to see it again!

Watch the Food Channel if you get it...
Not for recipe ideas or anything...
Just to watch...
Food is the new pornography...
Iron Chef and Good Eats are two very entertaining shows...
Remember, Chairman Kaga owns j00!!!

 

[NetworkDad]

Yea- i got lost one day too looking for SOAR. Glad i found it again...

Cooking?

hahahaha, premade uncooked hamburgers? or were you just talking fastfood?
because besides speciality stuff like veggie burgers, premade uncooked burgers would be pretty idiotic. (you take ground beef, make it the shape of a hamburger, and put it on a hot surface =P)

I learned to make chicken cacciatore with spaghetti, minus the chicken. Hehe. Basically it's a brandy and mushroom based sauce on spaghetti, it's really really good. I make it all the time. : )

I'm better at baking than I am at cooking. I don't like handling raw meat. I can cook a lot of basic meats if I can convince myself to touch it =P

 

[TallBill]

ehh.. well.. they do sell beef patties.. that you just throw on the grill...

 

[TallBill]

nice, gonna make some fancy french toast right now
