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.

I'll leave the baking to my other half. I don't have the patience for it.

Kidney stone remover?

Either to remove the brain thru the nasal canal (Egyptian mummification) or to remove something from the body, surgically, in the least invasive manner (at the time).

And size DOES matter. :lol::rofl:

Baking is too "Do it this way, set it at this temp and come back later." I just need to be there, hands on, for the whole time. It bores me to tears when I have to start something and walk away to let it finish, which is probably why I have a stack of half-built model cars in the corner of my...

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...

Just picked up "Physics of the Impossible" by Michio Kaku, "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" and "Earth (the Book)". :huh: I'm not a geek, I swear... :ermm:

Sorry for the double post, but I had to add this. The community college I am attending in Central Jersey has the same basic program and it's much cheaper then going to a cooking based school. Sure, things may be limited, but unless you are looking to be a 5-star chef, you don't need the big...

I am a Pro, but only when talking about the main dishes on my personal menu. I am slowly expanding that menu, but hardly a professional at creating those dishes or scanning the pantry and throwing something spectacular together when it seems there is nothing to work with. Unfortunately...

Newman's own four cheeze frozen pizza. Going all-out tonight!!! WOO!! :blink:

You make an excellent point here, Mollyanne. And although I do agree with you, for the most part, I do have to disagree a little. The information is out there, sure and some people are paying attention, but overall, the obesity rate isn't going down. Obesity is still rising. Mainly due to the...

Just a little. Plus, plastic handles don't get all grimey, soggy or peel with time the way the foam handled BBQ tools do. My fiancees family has a set like that and I can't stand how the handles are full of grease and who know's what else. They think I'm crazy cause I use a regular spatula and a...

Been there, done that. Love your sig by the way. Here's mine: Never was a fan of nor understood the dishwasher concept. Kinda redundant having to wash the dishes before you put them in the dish ... washer.:huh: But I heard they recently resolved this problem with the newer models. :lol:

:flowers: My apologies if my post was misunderstood. There's nothing wrong with a hard days work, especially if you are doing something you love. Just people near me seem to use a long work day as an excuse to not spend 30 minutes cooking. No matter how long your work day is, no matter how tired...

Hadn't thought about a sauce. Saw some feta cheese in the fridge last night and was thinking a sprinkle of that on top might make a nice touch. The missus would kill me if I put tomato or cilantro on it, so those are out. lol Onion sounds like it would give it a little bite and some added...

I've noticed this as well. It's quite disturbing that the chances are, most of the people you see buying this stuff probably grew up watching either mom or grandma cooking from scratch in the kitchen. I'm just as guilty of the bad-food-shopping-list as anyone else, but now that I am trying to...
