Do you like to cook? If so what is your favorite/best thing you can make? Sorry if this post sucks, but I'm hungry.
I want to get into cooking, I want to learn to make my own Thai and Indian foodlamprey263You can find good recipes for this online and honestly it's not as hard as I expected! This is from a Southerner who has grown up on fried everything, I expected Thai/Indian to be really out of my league. I'd recommend buying curry paste to start with and only make your own when you're feeling super ambitious or have had more practice. Great thing with curry is that it's nigh impossible to mess up; you can add more sugar or spice or curry powder infinitely until you get the right balance. Very mutable too, once you get down the basics, changing up the meat and vegetable combinations is very easy :D
I love to cook. My favorite is anything on the grill(ribs, steaks, chicken etc...) But i really like making fish and chips
My passion in life! I want to be a chef when I grow up and go to culinary school.
Just a couple of my creations:
Frenched rack of rabbit, spiced carrot puree, parsnip soup
Compressed melon salad, pickled watermelon rind, basil oil, chocolate balsamic pudding
Filet Mignon 'en bleu', caremalized onion puree, butter poached potatoes, chive garlic butter
Tomato 'tartare', mango 'egg yolk'
Liquified caramel popcorn; popcorn broth, caramel air
I'm really into a more whimsical and modern approach to my food and cooking :P
i LOVE cooking. while i dont know if i have a favorite dish. my three favorite ingredients are mushrooms, cheeses, and tomatoes. the things you can create using those ingredients is incredible
my favorite meal ever is steak, maceroni and cheese. and greenbeans (I mean these properlly not boxed. i bake my maceroni with tomato soup its incredible. and i love the natural appeal of steak dishes let the flavor of the meat just come out, no puns)
Not really. I do not have the patience for it. For the most, I stick to simple meals that require no more effort than taking it in-and-out, flipping it over, etc. In that sense, I guess you could say I am kind of your stereotypical guy, other than fact I almost always opt to use the oven, as opposed to some other folks who often settle for the convenience of the microwave.

If you really did those, they look damn tasty. Looks like you could be a professional cook to me. I'm looking to go to a cooking school, but want it more so I can cook for myself as I find it incredibly satisfying when I make a good meal, plus cooking relaxes me.
I know how to make a few things.....beef tongue (best cut of the cow), hot dogs, spaghetti, BBQ steaks, baked chicken, beef stroganoff, and all the usual side dishes (mashed potatoes, brocolli, rice, etc.) but my best creation by far is garlic chicken. Six thighs browned, then cooked with garlic and mushrooms in white wine and chicken broth. Best. Food. Ever.
I really wish there were a cooking union here on GS.

beef tongue best cut? its 100% muscle, no fat.... I mean if you thinks its tasty... eat the hell out of it.
But in terms of what makes a good cut of meat on a technical level, beef tongue is worse than flank steak :P

Actually tongue is very fattening. Lots of fat. Maybe not the best cut, but best to me. Nothing beats the taste. Some A1, mashed potatoes. Mmmmm. It's hard to find though-most major chains don't have it. :([QUOTE="SoBaus"][QUOTE="Rekunta"]

Check out Wiki. 75% of all calories in tongue are fat calories.[QUOTE="SoBaus"][QUOTE="Rekunta"]Actually tongue is very fattening. Lots of fat. Maybe not the best cut, but best to me.

You are probably a better cook than me, but im not about to eat your cow tongue either way. :P
Its always gonna seem gross for me.

Haha yea....I can see how someone would be grossed out. If I hadn't been raised on it I probably would be too.I'm (almost) a vegitarian but I enjoy food as long as I can stomache it. I got a weird situation with meat, I find I suddenly don't want to eat it, but then sometimes I can. I have to trick my mind into thinking it's not meat, which is easy to do with burgers or sausages, or if it's sliced or diced into very small sections and curried. If it's too meaty, too raw then I vomit as soon as it touches the roof of my mouth.
Oh and I love to cook pancakes.

Thats called a diet... i hate fish, to the point where i would murder the entire sea if i could. But i ate canned tuna every other day.... gagging the entire time.... so technically i think im ready for gay porn.
I enjoy cooking though I am out of my brother's league (certified executive chef) though he will eat my cooking and is surprised how well I do compared to him. I smoked a NY Strip Loin for him and out parents and turkey breast (for his wife) last week and everyone enjoyed everything. I prefer to BBQ and grill but can cook in the kitchen.

You can put ribs straight over coals, I have, you just have to keep the heat low so you don't burn them.
