What's for dinner?

[NikkiLinkle]

Well this is sad, but my mum makes my dinner at the moment. Haha. She just likes to be a mother to me. SO yeah, I haven't cooked for a while now.

But when I was with my ex, I used to do all the cooking. Mainly because I am a woman and that is my place, in the kitchen

Anyway, I am a terrible cook. But I did try. My specialty was roast dinners. Usually chicken and roast vegetables, with gravy. It's all about the gravy you see.

I liked to make beef stew/casserole in the slow cooker. Just chunks of beef and vegetables, I just used this meal base thing from the grocery store for the 'flavour'. Had it with mashed potato. I really like that. BUT I really SUCK at making mashed potato. Haha. I usually put too much milk or not enough milk.

I really really SUCK at making, spaghetti bolognese. Like, I'm never even going to bother making that EVER again in my life.

I made curried sausages twice, again using a meal base thing. The first time, was a DISASTER. Haha. But the second time was a SUCCESS I was quite proud of myself.

I also used to make burritos Which wasn't too bad, but yeah I would only eat my own cooking. I'm not going out of my way to cook for anyone, to avoid the disappointment, of it tasting really horrible or possibly killing someone.

I have never cooked with anyone. But if I did, I'd help out if I could. I'd just cut stuff up or something that has nothing to do with the cooking process. Like eating it.

Happy eating people.

And he broke up with you WHY?

Hell, yesterday a fat old lady working at the grocery store deli asked me if I was hungry and gave me a slice of ham and I was ready to propose! Some people just don't know what they got. Then again, I'm easy to please... if someone gives me a sandwich then we're instantly friends for life.

My dad and I take turns making dinner, sometimes we come up with ideas together. With his cooking, honestly, it's hit or miss. Sometimes he just likes to throw random meat and vegatables together in a sort of prisoner-of-war casserole using bacon fat instead of butter, which turns the whole deal a sickly greenish gray. Other times, thank god, he just gets some steaks and lets me grill 'em up, or makes burgers or hot dogs. He likes his meat almost raw. I concur, with a high end steak... but one time we got sushi grade tuna steaks and he seared the outside and left the inside raw. I took one bite and threw it back in the pan until it was cooked through to a light pink with a caramelized pepper crust on the outside. It was much better that way. With burgers, when he doesn't buy ground chuck (oh god no), then it's good eating. We're the grilling type. Truth be told, besides grilling up any kind of meat any way you can imagine, I have two specialties: Surf and turf, and macaroni and cheese. The surf and turf is pretty easy. I get a thick cut ribeye, at least an inch and a half in thickness. Marinade it in my super secret special blend, pan sear it with a pepper crust and then throw it in the oven leaving a good inch of dark pink on the inside, then I steam or boil a lobster and it goes good with baked potatoes and grilled asparagus. With the mac and cheese I use cubed prociutto, lots of butter and a four cheese blend. If I'm feeling extra hungry I might even through in pan seared salted pork fat. It will make you put on some weight fast. Actually, I'm gonna see if I can talk my dad into buying the ingredients for me to make a pot of it this week! I've been feeling kind of peckish... @.@
