Cooking

How good are you at it? I can cook a basic meal for myself but when I have to cook for more than one person I screw up the portions and end up making too much or too little. Also, I hate cooking for other people when they could make their own damn food. They have hands, don't they?

Anyway, I need help making plain white rice. My dad is best at this, but he's also pretty lazy and won't give me anything more than the vaguest instructions. There are onions and garlic involved, but I don't know how he puts it all together. I follow the instructions on the back of the bag and it comes out edible, but unflavorful. Does anyone have any advice?

I dunno much about making that, but it;s something to do with adding water and heating it.
I don't cook stuff, as in, turn raw material into usable and edible resources.

Thanks for that.

I normally cook everyday. Since Im doing the dinner, because either my father is working, and my mum is resting, since she's still sick.

I know how to do Spagetti Bolognese, Hot Dog, Pancakes and stuff like that, and I sometime enjoy to do it, but it would be so much better, if my sister and my brother helped me with the cooking.

I can make food fairly well...eggs, cakes, brownies, cookies, spaghetti and other pastas, rice...sometimes a pizza, not very often though...if given the recipe I could cook quite a few things, I'm good at following recipes (and sometimes adding my own touch, like a tiny bit of Dinosaur BBQ sauce or something if it's a meat dish)

I like to experiment as well.  My friend has been converted to the Baloney-Marshmallow Fluff sandwich.  It was funny...I suggested it to him, so he humored me and made one. Before he took a bite he says "If this tastes like crap I'll punch you" (and HOLY **** he's got an arm), so he takes a bite and says "damn you, I can't punch you now...this is good!"  So i still have full use of my arm...

I sometimes make myself an egg (omelette) sandwich stacked with any lunchmeat and/or veggie I can find in the fridge...I also throw together my own soups in winter, usually with leftover chicken or beef, sometimes I do the cheap way and use the storebought boullion...usually add macaroni, quartered angelhair spaghetti pieces, carrots, celery...good stuff. 

****, now I'm hungry. 

If you want, Saladin, I could possibly tell how to cook rice...

Where do you live? I haven't heard of Dinosaur BBQ being available anywhere but Syracuse.

I lived in Syracuse

Then we moved about two hours away this summer.  We're planning on picking up more DBBQ when we go back to visit peoples.  good stuff. 

I can cook some complex meals, but mostly I cook italian! yay

mmmmmmm...italian....

Some italian sausages make me sick but other than that Italian is good stuff.  I like foreign foods, so long as they don't make me sick after consuming them. 

The only really foreign dish I know how to make is authentic recipe Belgian waffles...not the out-of-the-box generic flour-and-water "Belgian" waffles you order in restaraunts....no, I'm talkin' the REAL thing.  My grandparents are Belgian.  Long process to prepare but VERY good results...yum...

I can make a few things. Not a ton, but a few.
