Darth Groovy Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Now I am not talking pop-tarts, toast, or microwave dinners, I am talking about chopping meat, browning, seasoning, baking, sautee' that sort of thing. I would really like to know. One of the fortunate things I learned in the NAVY was how to cook. SERIOUSLY! Before I joined the NAVY, I used to burn Campbell's soup. I found that by complimenting NAVY cooks, they would be so happy, that they would take me into the kitchen and show me how to put it all together. I actually enjoyed the free lessons, and got really involved! By the time I finished my enlistment, I came home, and started cooking breakfast and dinner for my parents, and it freaked them out...TOTALLY! To this day, they still admire my cooking, and I do cook when the opportunity arrises. I can cook almost anything, and I am equally good on the grill. So do any of you cook? My specialty is tacos (not fancy, but I make so many people smile with my secret recipe for meat!)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Ah, cooking. One of the pleasures of life. What is more enjoyable in dining than eating a persona creation that you have put your heart and soul into, and know exactly the ingredients used(which is excellents in a nutritional sense) I would like to divide my favourite modes of cooking into regional classification, and fave dishes i)Turkish *Yogurtlu Doner : succulent lamb, with tomato salsa, served with yogurt and hot turkish bread *Lahmacun - flat bread with mince, spices, sorta like a pizza *Samsun Pide - similar to Lahmacun, different combo of spices *Bulgur Kofte - wheat shell, filled with succulent lamb mince, onion, parsley, spices of choice *Firinda Makarana - similar to a pasta bake ii)Indian *Chicken makhani - butter chicken with yogurt and tomato gravy *Lamb Korma - a lamb curry ! *Chicken Tikka - Chicken fillet cooked tandoori style iii)Greek *Mousaka - *Pasticia - similar to firinda makarna(see Turkish) *Dolmades - vine leaves stuffd with mince, rice *Yemista - Hollowed capsicum stuffed with mince, rice etc iv)Italian - *Chicken Alfredo *Chicken Cacciatore *Bruschetta - oven baked bread, with pesto, diced tomatos/vegetables, dressing with balsamic vinegar *PIZZA ! I can do a little mexican too, but live too close to a great mexican restaurant to be bothered going to the trouble mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBell Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Sometimes I like to open up the BBq and throw some handburgers or steaks on the grill when I'm really hungry. I usually put alittle spice on the steaks and afterwards, alittle bbq sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalukai Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 nah i live on the Gulf coast in Mississippi near New Orleans.. so mah speciality is Cajun cookin--- I GAR-ON-TEE heres some more for you: Habenero Rainbow trout topped with a roasted tomato and Garlic Hollandaise sauce.. marinate your steaks in Orange Juice.. Bass Beer ... and Tabasco for 6 hours prior to cooking... for the record Pizza is not Italian its american first true pizza came from Chicago. Italy had the Pizzaria- which was a bread- like pizza instead of a raised dough crust. You can convert a Japanese Stir Fry to a Thai Stir-Fry by adding Peanut butter to it. ah MUSAKA!!! greek food indeed.. A Yuro with a cucumber sauce topped with feta cheese n spinach is the shizzle- dont forget your black pepper and garlic salt... tons of it! an perfect omlet is made with 2 eggs instead of 3 and you saute your ingrediants in it before you add the whipped egg yolks rather than stuffing them inside a folded one, and add a teaspoon of tabasco to the eggs for heat and color. Garlic Bread.... margerine,garlic powder even coverage, basil and paprika like gravy... try a white cream gravy- ground beef/or bacon fat heated down add in a teaspoon of chicken base TbL of flour and a 1/2 cup of whipping cream and dessert..... Banana Split Napaleon-the perfect Brunch dessert: 3 pancakes stacked with sliced bananas in between- criss crossing maple, blueberry, and strawberry syrups with a scoop of vanilla on top instead of butter.... I make stoners happy....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Windu Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I can cook, but my parents don't let me. So I tell them what I want. I make a mean butter shrimp. Melt butter in a pan. Add shrimp. Squeeze 2 maybe 3 lemons in, depending on how much sourness you want >_> Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Leave the shrimp in there for a while. Serve with white rice. And if these directions are too hard for you... you're a fool ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
