Whatcha Eating or Cooking

[Darth Knox]

Can you explain what you mean by "prepare food"? To me, that means getting all the ingredients out of the fridge ready to cook something.

I was using it in something like making a sandwich. You don't actually cook something (usually) when you make a sandwich. Things like that. To me for something to be considered cooking (or baking) has to have some sort of chemical reaction. Whether that is melting cheese or bread raising.

Cool. Are you saying you predominantly make sandwiches? You never do stuff with rice/pasta/cous cous/potatoes?

Yeah, I predominately eat sandwiches because they are easy, fast, and fit in my backpack without making a mess. If I am at home and not the Uni, then I don't usually eat sandwiches. We do eat a quite a bit of rice/pasta/cous cous (or quinoa as we call it)/potatoes, though it is usually with dinner/supper/evening meal. Lately we have been eating a lot of salad too.

traditional English fry-up: eggs, bacon (proper bacon, not the streakly kind), baked beans, black pudding, toast, mushrooms.

Here's a question - how many of you cook and how often do you do it?

I cook but can't really say I enjoy it. My kids would much rather me cook and eat at home but I much rather go to a restaurant LOL.

I also bake. Make an the kids their birthday cakes or cupcakes, even sometimes 100% from scratch. Have even made apple pie, keylime pie, and pecan pie from scratch.

I do enjoy making dips, like roasted salsa, salsa verde (green), creamy jalapeño. I guess these are all Mexican style or Tex-Mex type things.

I thought cous cous and quinoa were two different things?

My parents got me in the habit of making my lunch the night before. They also made us pack our bags and put out our clothes the night before too. I still do it to this day which helps in the morning not having to wake up early to do any of that stuff. I'll use tupperware to take pasta/rice/salad into work with me in my rucksack.

, salsa verde (green),

I can only assume that you know that verde means green?

The majority of what my family bakes is from scratch. Fun stuff. Plus it tastes better than store-bought 99.9% of the time.

You are making me second guess myself now. I'll have to figure out if they are different or not.

Yeah, I do the same thing (unless I forget). I don't like cold food for the most part, so unless I have a microwave that I can use I won't even consider bringing something that needs heated up. And I refuse to use the microwaves at the Uni, so yeah.

Of course but not everybody does, plus there are many different ways and types that fail under it. I make like 3 LOL.

My mom makes something that we call Salsa Verde, but I'm not actually sure that that name fits it super well. It's pretty good though.

To me, cooking requires effort beyond sticking something in a microwave for 1-5 minutes. I suppose "reheating" would have been a better word.

I generally cook meals for the week and freeze them.  My wife and I are on pretty hectic schedules so It makes it easier during the week.  Made Rotel dip as well as the Pulled Chicken for the pot luck...seems to be a hit.

A few bites of a burger. On the run so to speak

Got out of work early and met my wife and daughter out for lunch.  Bento box featuring seaweed salad, shrimp tempura, spicy tuna roll and sushimi! yummmmmmm

I was going to try the veggie burger at Burger King, but I'm sick now. UGH.
