How many of you guys cook, or rather enjoy cooking? I was the chef in my house. (Meaning I cooked a few more times per month than Vanessa, but she liked the sound of that....
 ) Anyhow, I realised tonight that it's been donkeys ages since I cooked a meal. Tonight I simply threw some herbs here into some soup (Basil, Thyme, Ginger) and it reminded me how I did actually enjoy it. Anyone else? I've heard it mentioned as the ultimate art, because you can live off it. ------------------ I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on....  A fair dinkum laughing Hyena! |

err, does making a sandwich count? how about mac and cheese? or cereal?
------------------ It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

Guilty here!
Emeril or the Iron Chef are constantly on here. I must love to cook, I toted over 100 cookbooks from Florida to Michigan and back! My oldest is from 1885. My weakness is spicy food. ------------------  Proud new member of LH! |

If you are REALLY into cooking, you HAVE to subscribe to "Saveur" magazine!
They actually go into real people's homes from around the world and publish true authentic recipes! It's like the National Geographic of cooking magazines! ------------------ Proud new member of LH! |

 In Sydney I ate more Asian food than western. Singapore and Italy were tastebud heaven for me. Does Cumin affect you? I had some "Afgahni" food in Singapore (really just Indian food under an Afgahni resteraunt name) which was really heavily dosed with Cumin. My brain would buzz all night in an awakeysleep. Coriander is another fave of mine. ------------------ I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on.... A fair dinkum laughing Hyena! |

I love cumin in moderation. I think that it can be overpowering very easily if not used correctly. I use it all of the time in black beans and rice.
Cilantro is another of my favorites! ------------------ Proud new member of LH! |

Hey I read a book once that had insect recipes. Totally bizzare. (The around the world bit threw me on that tangent) Witchedy grubs in Oz, live scorpions in S/E asia, termites and grasshoppers in Africa, and beetles in the Americas amongst others. Very very odd. I'm adventurous with food, very, but when I read "People allergic to...blah blah...and bee stings, should not eat these recipes" I breathed a sigh of relief.   ------------------ I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on....
