I got a good learning to cook story.......sm
When my DD was I think 11, she and my niece (12) were babysitting for me for a few hours. I was on my way home and told her to get the frozen lasagna out of the freezer and put it in the oven. I said it is very simple, directions are on the box. I get home and open the oven to check on the lasagna and there is the lasagna cooking in the BOX AND ALL!! Directions said to "poke holes in the top" which she did in the top of the box that is and never removed it from the BOX! So here was my lasagna baking in the oven still in the cardboard box container covered in holes! I literally wet my pants laughing so hard. She has NEVER lived that one down as we love to tell that story. She said well it never said to take it out of the box, lol.
My Annie too, Animal Planet fan.
She also loves the cartoon, Miss Spider's Sunny Patch. Will sit and watch the entire 30-minute episode!
Me too! My latest obsession are shoes from a store on e bay
They are called cutsey shoes and I get a pair or two with each pay period. I know it has to end, but they are so cute and not expensive. I am kicking the e bay habit but there's still always room for shoe bids as far as I am concerned. Though I never wear shoes at home and I am there most of the time because I work at home too. LOL.
Cook 'em however you both will like but cook n serve kraut separately. Great with cooked

we are our own god; we need to eliminate evil

You are not evil, you are just worn out - sm
he is laying on the guilt trip big time. You have done what you can. He is able bodied and more than capable of working, especially if he has a friend who has a job available for him but he is too lazy to take. He just does not want to work, why should he when everyone around him will pay his way. I'd cut him off. Tell him the gravy train made its last stop, and not to come back until he has a job and a pay stub to show for it. If he refuses to work, then give him some addresses of local shelters so he has a place to go after he is finally evicted. He has no one to blame but himself, though I am sure he will blame you, your mom, your husband and anyone else he can think of. There is no helping someone like that, their sense of entitlement is too high.
He's plain creepy and evil looking! nm

Resident Evil was scariest because it could happen
who knows???
Well, I guess it's a necessary evil. I have a son in HS and daughter in 2nd grade.
In the HS, if their balance is too low to cover their lunch, they don't get to buy lunch. They figure high schoolers should be responsible enough to make sure they fill their accounts up. At the elementary school, they are allowed to be in the hole, although I'm not sure how deep they can go because I never let it get too far. The elementary school sends a pink slip home when your child is in the hole telling you how much. They never deny lunch, they just pink slip you and you know you need to fill up and I always do.
I realize parents should make sure their kids eat, but what some people don't realize and is some people's pay checks are stretched way too thin. There have been times when I've paid bills, etc., and then find out my kid is out of lunch money and I have to wait until my next pay check. I rely on the school to cut me a little slack. I make too much to qualify for discounted lunches, so I do what I can and I hate the idea of my kid having just a baloney or pbj sandwhick in lieu of a hot lunch!
Resident evil Apoc? That sounds AWESOME!
I love those things. Are there any others like that you could recommend? I am a member of Columbia House DVD and they have a sale and I was looking up sci fi, fantasy, and there were so many to choose from, I did not know which to choose. I heard the 400 is good. Also there is a movie out I think Alien v Predator. Sorry to get off topic, just wondered if you can suggest any other good things to watch.
Ditto - but add arrogant and evil to the list of adjectives to describe this loser

Played Prey on Xbox 360 and watched Resident Evil Apocalypse
yay!!!
sure we cook for the dog
he does still have the food we cook mixed into some dry kibble.
For dinners he will have cooked meat, usually chicken or steak strips, sometimes burger mixed with something else, vegetables, cheese and potatoes (his favorites). For breakfast he gets a whole grain granola type cereal mixed in with a little yogurt or pumpkin.
I know a lot of ppl who are cooking for their pets now. I always thought my dog was just being "spoiled" until I started asking around who else was cooking for their fur babies :)
How to cook
I'm 27, moved out of the house at 19, but still don't know how to cook!
The thought of making a whole meal for just me seems like too much effort, but I'm getting a little bored of the melt-cheese-on-carbs kind of life.
Any thoughts?
....nm up there! Got my used BOS II from there, too. Cook

im not much of a cook, but...
what about baked ziti? It's a change from plain pasta or lasagne/spaghetti. I was just asking my boyfriend last night for it (since he makes it). it's been awhile. We are a young couple so we seem to do the same things every week!! (Tacos, spaghetti, steak) Last night we had pork chops, rice, and broccoli. Tonight we are barbequing hamburgers..
The thing I like to do is twice baked potatoes. It's the only thing I really ever do from scratch, so you of course can add/take away ingredients. I'm very plain so mine are very plain but bake your potatoes... then
I melt a tablespoon of butter, add chopped mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper.
then when the potatoes are done scoop out the middle, add a little of the melted stuff, add some shredded cheese and sour cream (total will be about 2 cups and 16 oz sour cream)... mix and then add more, mix... scoop back into potatoes and put the rest of the cheese on top, bake for 15 minutes!
hope that made sense, ive never written down my recipe before :)
okay, I was looking for a certain cook
on PBS who was making an apple dessert in a cast iron skillet about a year or so ago, but I guess they are no longer showing him; an older white haired man with a full white mustache. Anyway, I remember him saying don't use McIntosh or eating apples because they have so much moisture in them, they break down in heat. So I stumbled across another site that really goes into the different varieties and uses. Hope this helps; and he likes granny smith, too.

I was in the bathroom with a cook at a SM
restaurant who didn't wash her hands. I was totally disgusted. I loved this restaurant. I went to the manager and told her what happened. She ran back to the kitchen and screamed--loudly--at the cook in their language and then came back to me and apologized and said the cook said she washed her hands when she got back in the kitchen, but that she would make sure none of her employees ever left the bathroom again without washing their hands.
I used to work in fast food as a teenager and even if I just went in the bathroom to look in the mirror, I would wash my hands just in case a customer should come in and suspect I had gone to the bathroom without washing my hands.
So, in short...lol...that is one of my pet peeves as well!
Chickadee
I do not cook but hubby does and
we can buy groceries for very little. How he uses the food is amazing. He can take 1 chicken breast and make a complete meal out of that. He usually fixes brown rice or pasta of some kind and adds this piece of meat cut into small pieces and adds his herbs, spices or the like to it. When we buy at the store usually get, say 3 chicken. He has these halved and being as we don't have children at home 1 side will do us- I like the white meat, he likes the dark, works out well. But if you have family, you could try the above- I never feel deprived, much to the contrary, my meals are delicious and never feel I am missing meat. He made a wonderful meal this past week using all kinds of onions, garlic, squash, zuccini (spelling?)and we had this over the rice- delicious! He uses a rice as the base with additions to that, such as cut up tomatoes, garlic, bay leaves and then the toppings. This is a very good way to extend your budget.
Me too! But I cook, he does all the rest : )

Don’t cook at all but when I want something sweet,
will have a piece of cake, pie, candy, ice cream, unlimited but adding sugar to things not only to bread but some vegetables is a big turn off for me. Some in the south eat grits, could not tell you what they taste like, never had those. Eating out as a child never served grits with breakfast (in Chattanooga)and still to this date do not eat- my children raised in another southern state and they like grits. It is funny how certain regions eat different foods, all in what you grew up with, like and such.
Anything YOU don't have to cook always tastes

How about: If I lived here, I'd be the cook!
No one can be a worst cook than me
My husband asks me to stay out of the kitchen as he says, he and I both want to stay healthy! Ok, I do have a previous thingy I just made up, call it Spanish porkchops. How simple is this - I put a family size container of pork chops plus 2 cans of canned tomatos plus 2 large onions all together and cook over medium until the chops are done and tender- oh, I forgot the salt and pepper- but anyway that is something even I can do and I love it but then again I love tomatoes and we eat them all the time.
AI - David Cook
My husband did not like him at all last night. I don't think he likes him period. He said he's very arrogant. My daughter and I have him pegged as the winner, although I didn't think he was as good as usual last night. On Dial Idol.com they have David Cook in the bottom three along with Carly and Syesha (Sorry if these are spelled wrong). I'm not sure what'll happen tonight.
Christy Lee Cook
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels Christy should have already been gone. I guess she is this year's Sanjaya.
YAY 4 DAVID COOK!
I finally picked the "American Idol" winner!!! 
too tired to cook
We just have homemade tostadas and microwave them. You can put anything on them and there are no dishes, pots or pans.
we almost never eat out. re not wanting to cook,
when i just don't feel like or don't have time to cook, we have something quick, ie soup or sandwich or breakfast, ie eggs or waffles.
That is how I cook mine.

how do you cook your chicken?
are you baking it or on the stove?
my sister used to make us rice and teriyaki chicken and i loved it. im not so much a cook, but would like to do this as it seems so simple
Diabetic cook book.. sm
I need some suggestions on a diabetic cook book that has relatively simple recipes. Any help would be great!
Can someone tell me how to cook it? Breakfast food, right?

Anyway cook using Rachel Ray's recipes? sm
I'm always looking to try something different and her 30 minute meals sure look tasty and easy.
Another frozen dinner. ( I don't cook.)
:)
I can't cook, so take this with a "grain of salt," sm
and maybe someone already posted this, but the best meatloaf is made with stove top stuffing as the filler...
Good luck.
Why does everyone get up so early to cook a turkey? - sm
the only think I can figure is you must eat it at noon. We would get up around 8, make the stuffing, prepare the bird, stuff it and put it in the oven between 10-11. This would be an 18-21 pound turkey, cook it 20 mins per pound, so we would pull it out about 5, then make the homemade gravy (took a good 30 mins to do that), prepare the mashed potatoes, and eat about 6. In between we have a relaxing day of playing board games, watching football or James Bond movies. All I ever see is, mom got in the middle of the night and put the turkey in the oven before we were even awake......either that was one heck of a big bird or they ate turkey for breakfast or lunch. (or else it came out dry as a rock).
I use chuck. I also cook it on top of stove
very slow with golden mushroom soap, a can of beer, potatos, carrots, and onions. Get it boiling and let it simmer for 3 hours or so.
i'll bet your a great cook
I never thought of all these possibilities. You would think in my late 40s I would think of more than just heating them and putting them over noodles or not knowing what to do with them. The mexican chicken soup sounds delicious. I've got 5 cans of tomatos so am going to do that and the turkey chili from someone else and some other ideas you gave here. I'll bet you are a great cook - can I come over for dinner? :-)
Pizza Hut - He was a cook and I was a waitress. nm

I definitely agree with you there. I cook all meals and we
rarely eat out. I am very particular in what I cook and how I cook it. At least food that is eaten early in the day has a better chance of all the calories being burned off. A lot of times as well it will give them that extra boost of energy that they need. We as parents should have taught them how to make correct choices. That part is not the schools problem.
Fruit kabobs? Do you cook them?
Sorry to show my ignorance, but the idea sounds really good. I never thought of fruit kabobs. Do you BBQ, broil or bake? Which fruit combinations are best?
Also, I would add something fun for kids if you have them (and adult easy) by making cupcakes in flat-bottomed ice cream cones with icing decoration. Kids love them. I would also add a relish dish and probably a veggie platter.
How sweet, my DS loves to cook as well. nm
@#$
Yes you are weird, I do not cook, clean, etc., etc.
In fact have housekeeper that just came yesterday to clean and husband does the cooking. I get no satisfaction really from either. My house is kept nice but I pay to get it done.
Forgot to add I cook it covered. (NM)

Totally do not remember, he is the cook here - sm
I remember what he first made me, spaghetti, 3rd date I think it was, very nice. I probably made this chicken casserole I like, though he doesn't. I only make 4 things he likes, steak, hambergers, pot roast and chicken parmasean.....excuse the typo's.

Cook a meal and dine on leftovers
the rest of the week, or freeze what you don't eat. Then you have a ready meal that just needs thawed out.
