My dad told me that I got the chicken pox from playing in the chicken coop. I believed him for years

Thank you! Actually, the fried chicken is chicken strips sm
breaded and fried that I make from scratch. Yes, I buy the 5 pound bag from Sam's club, fry it up and then toss is with my mom's famous teriyaki sauce cut into small, bite sized pieces. With 5 pounds cut up I can make well over 120 pieces. No big deal! Thanks for your suggestions!
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.

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? :-)

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.

What about chicken; so much you can do with it.
And if you buy the large packages, it's fairly inexpensive. Also, eggs are inexpensive, quiche or omelets. Grilled cheese with tomato. Baked macaroni and cheese casserole. There is really so much.
Do try Zatarain's meals in a box, very cheap and we love them. You just add the meat or seafood. Here is a website.
http://www.zatarain.com/products/products.php/1/1/Rice_Dinner_Mixes
And their rices are by far the best as side dishes, much better than Rice a Roni or Uncle Ben's I think. Cooks up fluffy, not sticky and a large amount.

Here's one of my chicken recipes:
Easy parmesan chicken
Dip chicken breast in melted butter/garlic mix (1 stick butter and 1/2 tsp minced garlic)
Coat with breadcrumb mix (I used flavored/seasoned with about 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese and pinch of garlic powder added).
Place in pan. Pour the remaining butter on top, or not. I do! :)
Bake in oven at 325 for around 30 minutes.
Yum.
Chicken leg
We played this at a friend's for Thanksgiving. It was fun. There may be a limit on how many people, I am not sure. You take regular dominos. Each draw 7. Before you give out the tiles put the highest domino that is the double number or the lowest number like 1 dot 1 dot. Then, everyone takes turns around the table and puts 1 tile only to match one of the ends. In this case it would be 1 dot of course. If someone has a double number again they put that tile diagonal next to the tile they are matching sticking out like a leg. Then the group has to keep going to match that other side to make the other leg. If you can't match it you keep drawing from bone yard (again one each time then onto the next person). All other times than doubles you keep matching the dots and if after you draw you don't have it next person goes. You do this until a person has only 1 tile left, they say 1. And when the first person has all tiles gone, the game is over and the people add up their dots and that is their high score. I got the highest score ever, which meant I was the biggest loser ever LOL. There are many strategies like cards, but mostly try to get rid of the high number dots first. The difference between this and dominos is the chicken leg part which is tough, and of course the fact you only draw 1 tile instead of keeping going and each person only puts 1 tile then the next person goes. You'd be surprised how the time flies when you play this. BTW: We were all from 46 to 56 in age range there. Hope that if anyone plays this the time flies by as much as it did for me. Happy Holidays!
Raw chicken??
I wouldn't give raw chicken to a dog for the same reasons I wouldn't give it to a person. Dogs can get salmonella poisoning, too.
& ditto what the poster below says about chicken bones. Except neck bones.
I buy chicken thighs once in awhile & boil it until it falls off the bones & add some broth to my dogs' food every day. They eat the *cooked* meat & skin as well, but I throw away the bones.
Andy is a picky eater. It took awhile to find a food he liked. WorriedMom (OP) may just have to keep experimenting.

Crustless Chicken Pot Pie Skillet.
Boneless chicken breasts cut in to 1-inch pieces.
Chicken boullion (cubes or powder)

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.
Grandpa from Tennessee taught me to cook it

I can't cook. I live alone but have adult children...
So I resolve to try a new entree once a month and invite my children and their families over to try it.
I think that may be an easy one to keep!

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.
How long to cook corned beef
Does anyone know how long to cook a corned beef briskit (don't know how to spell that). I'm thinking its a few hours but not sure.
I cook mine in water seasoned with
a sliced onion, crushed garlic, etc.; pretty much anything I have on my spice shelf. Maybe a beef boullion cube or two. when tender (couple of hrs), I pop 'em in oven or on the grill, and based with BBQ sauce.
