Ah, the joys of the Mystery Meal...trust me, when you shout-order dinner for 4, the chances of a fuckup go up exponentially...

I'm good at cooking water

I love to cook but I hate the clean up. It's worse when I want to bake so I haven't baked in a few years.

Sis was here all last week and I wanted to give her a break. I cooked all week. Sunday we had the in-laws and sis and her fiance here for dinner. I made a pork roast and sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. As an aside I decided to make navy bean soup with ham hocks as well. If someone didn't like one meal they could have the other. If they liked both they could have both. We pigged out...one and all!

Chicken and dumplings is a specialty of mine for a rib stickin meal. Mr. Lixy and I usually eat light, nutritious meals but sometimes I break loose in the kitchen and go for the gusto!

I love cooking but my success rate is very dependant on what I'm cooking and where. If I'm cooking something I've helped cook first, I usually nail it when I do it on my own. Things from recipes (which I follow religiously (meaning I go with most of it and emit the bits I don't like... sorry couldn't resist)) and things I make up as I go along have about a 70% chance of sucess....

Me and the SO are getting into cooking at the moment, but sadly I can't continue the theme at my place, it being a little busy. I like being a kitchen helper, but if I'm cooking, I prefer to be alone. No-one to watch the calamity :p

My new kick is Spanish food.Love it. Gazpacho & Paella. Tapas with chorizo,mussels,olives,shrimps with romesco sauce,cheese,and plenty of jerez and vino rojas.

I LOVE cooking...most of the time. I'm purty damned good at it too...one of my friends says I've never made anything bad...if she only knew. Kitchen failures happen. My specialty is desserts---baking and such. I make a chocolate mayonaise cake with homemade chocolate buttercream frosting that is TO DIE FOR!

The question is can you bake berry fruit berry pies berry? :bite:

We can make this cooking thing work if you just need somebody to cleanup. :D Your kitchen is going to look a little different but will work REAL well.:nod: You can have ANY ingredients and food stuffs to cook. You take the page from Betty Crocker and I'll take a page from Army mess hall manual. EVERYTHING will be stainless steel and granite, with tile walls and a drain in the floor. We can put flowers anywhere you want.:daisy:


You can bake pies, right? :confused:
