Just throwing out a big wave as the newest 'new guy'. I've always enjoyed cooking beyond just making dinner to feed myself and I'm finally at the point in my life where I can make something of a hobby out of it.

Hopefully I can contribute a bit here and there but I'm really looking to pick your brains as I most enjoy cooking intimate 'themed' meals. It's a search for ideas that brought me here, so once I find the appropriate page I'll post my thoughts for your input.

I've lurked a bit and I've been here for ideas in the past, but I've gotten to the point where I'd like to participate, so a big thank you in advance for bearing with my perhaps-dumb ideas...

If food isn't fun then what's the point ? ]]> Just Some Guy http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f6/new-guy-61487.html http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f6/1000th-post-thank-you-61443.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:34:20 GMT Well, ive reached the 1000 post milestone.

I am a stay-at-home dad with 3 kids. I am also an avid cook. I cook for 5 daily. I am big into buying in bulk and food budgeting.

Love doing stocks and soups from scratch.

I have a slight aversion to buying anything prepared that I could do my self, Like convenience (microwave foods) I would rather take and afternoon and make breakfast sandwiches and other quick snacks that can be frozen in a ziploc for easy micro. As much about challenging myself as a cook as it is about budget.

I am in love with yeast. Yeast is my friend!. I do a massive amount of baking, I own 3 bread machines and use them only as dough mixers, never bake in them. Bread, rolls, bread-sticks, pizza dough, Cinnamon roll dough, etc. I do also do a lot of pies, quickbreads and whatnot.

Currently working on my personal chef certification. I have done a bit of that on the side so far.

Finally I love to garden, in the summer I try to grow what we eat as much as possible.

Well, that is likely enough about me, eh?

Cheers

hi

i'm vi from pa
i found you all because i am replacing a lot of cookware (not all though)

over the years i have gotten some really good pieces and some really 'not so good but needed in a hurry' pieces which were non stick and now it is time to ditch the non stick ( we have birds now, and the non stick is peeling)

this is going to be fun but is also a LOT of research
and has also reminded me to THINK about how i cook what i cook
and ask if there are better ways

let's see.......i'm italian, i was raised old world, and i cook from scratch.
i can and preserve and while this year did not raise a garden due to a back injury, normally i garden.
i also keep chickens and ducks as pets and for eggs (and occasional dinners from my surplus males)

so i will be haunting the cookware section for now

We do enjoy eating out, fabulous places to eat and fantastic chefs between inns and restaurants here in Maine but pocketbook limits the frequency.
