Something Delicious
 

such a good idea sun....we have a lot of good cookers here...of which i am not ....lol I DO love to bake though.....and I am also employed by a former chef who has opened my world to new ingredients and spices and such...ive learned a lot already....and i would love to learn more!

My first thought seeing this is that I want some good Pho.

Foodie checking in. Will be back. Thanks for starting this!

Poutine!

Favourite food memories as a child: Being in my Baba's kitchen, pinching pyrohy and stirring steaming vats of jam.

Favourite food memory abroad: My first meal in Paris (my first meal outside Canada, in fact,) was a full fondue. It was the most interesting hybrid of a place, all of us reclining on chaises and finishing our meal with fruity shisha and surreptitiously refilled glasses of wine.

Favourite food memory under duress: After surgery last year, they wouldn't let me leave until I'd eaten. I stared disconsolately at the toast, which celiacs can't eat, and my mother went and bought those Chapman's ice cream cups. I ate two in a row, having fasted then for over 24 hours, and the nurse came in. Oh my goodness, they tasted so amazingly good, and I was still eating as she said, "You've eaten all that ice cream? You're going to be sick." I pointed my spoon at her in my drug haze and said, "You don't know me. I like to hang onto my food."

I am a foodie in that I love to eat what other people cook! I don't like cooking. Maybe when I am retired. My sister loves to cook and is so good at it. She comes home from work and is so excited to get into the kitchen. She loves to cook for crowds. She loves to grocery shop. I hate it. Sigh. I will read and listen and hopefully get some inspiration. My family thanks you. I am, though, a good cook. Just see it as more a chore. I am cooking dinner right now.

i saw "girl" for " grill "

Wholeeee different meaning. :|

Hi Gemme!

Wherever I go I can find a dish that I will enjoy and miss. Funny how many times spinach salad has come up as a topic in conversations with friends. Must be the dressing? A lot of people use bacon in the dressing. I do a spinach salad with soy, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, fresh garlic, a little toasted sesame oil and a little sugar. Then again I m in love with Asian flavors so that dressing could top many dishes and I would likely enjoy it!

Aww dang it. I thought someone would ask that. Spaghetti. No vegetable with it because I am worn out. My daughter loves ground beef so it has that but she won't eat the tomato sauce. We are having tomato sauce from a jar with ours. It is actually good. Most jarred sauces are awful.

I get overwhelmed with meat. It is disturbing to me although I do enjoy it when someone else makes it. I worry things aren't healthy enough. I have cooking skills. I have knife skills. I used to work pantry in a restaurant. I just get overwhelmed.

Did I mention my ADD tendencies?

i want to cook the best homemade chicken pot pie ever made. i'm working on it. i've cooked 2, separate times. the first, i hurt a little bit after eating (hurt=good). the second, i rushed it, ... i didn't hurt at all.

i'm going to try again and i'll share the what's and how's of my homemade chicken pot pie adventures.

I love pot pies and casseroles! I make a chicken and biscuits casserole that well, yes, I hurt, too...lol

The downfall or blessing to not using measurements when I cook is that I make too much. I pack up the extra and take it to my mom, aunt, uncle, anyone who is available and not on a special diet. lol...(I learned the hard way)...

But it's the only way I know how to cook. I really hate to cook for one, I can NEVER get it right. How can that be?

YUM
 

With cooking lessons from celebrity chefs like you! That would be super fun!!

One of my favourite food memories is the first time I visited my brother in Europe, he was living in Frankfurt at the time, we went to the corner grocer and bought bread, cheeses and meats. They eat that for breakfast.
My favourite was the Quark cheese (with herbs) on their wonderful baguette bread with a slice of salami. Oh my god food is so much better in Europe. I was hooked and now whenever i visit my brother he knows to have Quark and Salami for me. Yummy

That and Lamb in Barcelona, any restaurant. I don't know why they do it so well, but they do.

Ok, and the ice cream from the street vendors in Vienna.

And the chicken donair at the Amsterdam train station.

And the salami and spinach pizza anywhere in Germany.

Have i mentioned how much I like (good) food? And Europe has some of the best. Although my mom made awesome pyrogies.

I didn't think that far. I thought you would want to head that up...lol:goodluck:

<<<Idea person :glasses:

I loathe to measure in the kitchen.
Which really confuses people since I teach cooking classes.
For them, I suck it up and write up a "real" recipe in advance with measurements and how many a recipe serves... but when I'm demo teaching it's all about how to eyeball and tell from texture and scent if something is just right.

My latest exciting dish at a class was a basic split pea soup, but without ham, and fluffed up with steamed and pureed cauliflower stirred into the soup and then the whole thing was topped with a drizzle of balsamic.

*yum!!!*

Shrugs--I don't know I just work here.
 

Nooooooo!!!...Sun is the celebrity chef!

I thought he would coordinate the thing, we shall learn cooking tips and fabulous recipes and eventually all get to try them...How can we try them if we aren't there?

Oh never mind...lol...me and my big mouth.
