First and foremost, welcome to the forums. I don't think I could be of much help in this thread, but the following comment made me think of a joke I heard just the other day. After a Beer Festival in London, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer. Corona's president...

It's all about the challenge. I know it goes against what I said about my physics class before, but I love a good challenge. In the end, to me cooking and making that meal unique compared to the basic directions, is more of a challenge than measuring 7 ingredients, mixing them slowly together...

Nose hair plucker?

Agreed, but it never means "Don't try." That would be best described as foolheartedness. :lol: I know better, even when I started, I knew better. I knew I had to learn the basics first before I could begin messing around with different things and even still I would probably never change a...

Blimpie. :sleep:

Owie is some of the other instruments they currently use, but that's another discussion. Meant gallstones not kidney stones. Kidney stones are almost always passed naturally... edit: Which in turns brings me back to kidney stones... lol.

Yeah, My fiancee and I have a huge stack in the basement and in her room in her parents house of kitchen appliances for when we move out and every house we look at, the first thing she shows me is the picture of the kitchen. She want's to make sure we have a big enough one for me to be...

Which is also the reason why I have so much trouble writing my papers for school... :rofl: Welcome to the forum!

I actually have two. First is simmered chicken over steamed rice with lightly steamed broccoli. Chicken is normally marinated and cooked in Italian dressing or dusted with a mix of Italian spices and cooked in EVOO. The chicken is cooked slowly, I stress slowly, on low heat to retain as much...

So, the real question is: Cooking or baking and why? For me, baking is too precise, too formulated, and leaves minimal, if any, room to experiment. I get enough of this 'everything must come out perfect the same way, every time' with school and my future career. With baking, it seems, you...
