What do you like to eat? What are you eating? What's your favorite dish?
...What was the last dish you prepared for yourself?
Do you prefer healthy vs indulgent? home-cooked vs takeout vs gourmet? or are you up for anything, as long as you aren't paying?
lastly, do you post food pictures on the 'net... be honest.
If yes, let's see that food from around the world... and what does it taste like? http://themittani.com/ | http://evenews24.com/ || Vincent Athena-á||-áflycatcher waaaaat |

I love cooking. My favourite ingredients are fish, mushrooms and onion.
The food I cook has a lot of fat in it. I cut no corners on butter or cream. I compensate by sticking to a 700 carb a day diet consisting of mostly shakes. Vegetables and chicken, followed by one proper dinner of good food at the end of the day.
Today for dinner I am making breaded cod, pan-fried in butter with sea-salt and black pepper, Served with boiled potatoes and a hollandaise.

almost every night is Thanksgiving for me: Microwavable stuffing and jellied cranberry sauce, the kind that comes in a can.
Angelique I don't even have the patience to bring water to a boil, otherwise my next choice would be spaghetti with plain marinara, the kind that comes in a can.
I feel ya on the light calorie count... I've been known to go calorie-negative when I'm trying to lose weight. Everyone I know thinks it's unhealthy to limit calories like that, so it's nice to know I'm not the only one who keeps a sub-1000 calorie diet when they can.
There's a short but solid list of things that are quick, cheap, clean, and not-unhealthy. Spaghetti or any sale on pasta (macaroni, bowties, rottini, etc), end-of-the-day supermarket baguettes dipped in marinara, and sometimes beans... the kind that come in a can. |

Potatoes are alright. Put them in the water with salt, turn on the stove and set the timer to 45 min. You won't have to touch them again until they're done. Less work than spaghetti.
You can make it 30 min if you just dice them a bit. Depending on the type you don't even have to peal them. Just brush them off a bit. When the priest killed a maiden in the metal church.

I do about 70% of the cooking, though it used to be less. Then my wife got a new job. But lately, she and my daughter have been on a baking kick. So last night it was empanadas with cherry pie. Odd combo, but what the hell. A few days back, it was Cornish pasties. Rugelach have been showing up, too.
Mostly though, I do the cooking. Chicken fried rice night before last. Tostadas before that.
I tend heavily towards American Southwest-style and Italian. Obviously, I slip some Chinese in there too.
Most recent major meal I've done though, was for our Anniversary night - Bacon-wraped, roquefort-stuffed filet mignon accompanied by jacket potatoes and steamed green beans and a green salad. It's actually a long-standing tradition of a meal for us, done on our Anniversary every year, conditions permitting. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

4 Potatoes might be too much though.
I wonder what might be a good dinner for tomorrow.

i grill a great deal. all year long. but i also use the oven and stove. i like to try new recipes. i have a couple websites i go to for ideas. like the above poster i also do not skimp on taste. i try to stick to proper portions but sometimes seconds are just too tempting to pass up lol
i use a lot of chicken and pork. the bf is huge on seafood but i'm not. but i do like shrimp so we have that often as a compromise. i absolutely love vegetables of all kinds and make them often in many varieties. i like to make spicier foods and crushed red pepper, jalapenos and cayenne get used almost everyday on something.
am i some great chef? not particularly but i get the job done for us. |

By far, I am the biggest veggie eater in the family. Steamed, raw, roasted, whatever.
This evening, it was honey-dijon chicken with rice and peas, followed by homemade cherry pie. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Ok, this thread just made me hungry again for some reason.....
Between me and the wife, we share both cooking duties and grilling. I do almost all the baking.
Since she is Hispanic, we eat mostly Mexican/Spanish food when she cooks. When I cook, it's mostly German, French, and Asian. We both like to go a little heavy with cream, fat, and butter from time to time, but we'll look for more healthy alternatives and make smaller portions. There are only three of us to feed.
As to baking, I'll bake pretty much anything from what my grandmothers taught me to anything we find on the InterWebs that looks interesting.
When we grill, whether it's me or her, I'm the designated fire starter person. She has zero patience for that. Surrender is still your slightly less painful option. |

I have partial anosmia since childhood, so my sense of taste is rather limited, too. Basically, I could live of garbage like a cockroach if I really wanted. But I do care for a nice look, so I often adorn my food with colorful fruits, fresh herbs or something like that to make it more pleasing on the eye. I can taste food if it has an extremely strong taste like rocford cheese or anchovis, so I tend to eat stuff like this more often. Please don't feed me. |

You know what's great? When you think you're out of coffee. But then you look into the cup and it turns out it's actually half full.
It's like an itty bitty Christmas.
That's a double edged sword though. A month ago I was eating a pizza. I had it cut into 4 slices. I ate 3 and then I reached for the 4th slice and it turned out I had in fact already eaten all 4.
I was out of pizza. A slice I expected to be there was not there when I reached for it. I was heartbroken. Does anyone know a good website to upload loudouts too that doesn't try to sell me plexes in between every line? |

I made a Texas-style barbecued beef brisket this weekend. The weather wasn't good for doing the whole thing outdoors in a smoker, but this method worked about as well: -Rub the brisket down with salt and pepper. Onion salt, garlic salt and/or a little Kikkoman soy sauce are optional. -Grill it over hot coals, with the lid down and some wood chips added for smoke. I used apple wood this time. Sear it really well on both sides. There needs to be some burnt black showing on the meat. -Wrap it in a few layers of aluminum foil and put it in the oven. 225 degrees F for two hours at the least. 4-6 hours is better. -Slice it (against the grain, to cut through the stringiness) and serve with barbecue sauce, Japanese yakiniku sauce, or whatever you like. Plus your vegetables, of course.
It's easier in the summer, if you have a smoker. Start in the morning and just grill it, wrap it, and let your coals die down to low temperature. Leave it in the smoker all day, throwing in more charcoal and wood chips every couple of hours. When dinner time comes around it's perfect and ready to eat.
Edit: But this Tex-Mex meal is the one I fantasize about. The photo is from the inside cover of Z.Z.Top's album "Tres Hombres" If you help someone when they're in trouble, they will remember you when they're in trouble again.

When we lived in New Mexico, our friends thought we were nuts for grilling outside in the middle of winter. Where we lived, it only got down to about -10F. Surrender is still your slightly less painful option. |

I have a couple of these. They're cheaper and they work.
This is one of my favorites to cook up. I usually use Sam Adams Amber and cyan with pepper flakes in my version. You end up with enough sauce to make several meals and it works on pretty much any meat. The beer type really makes a difference in the flavor. We started with a bud light which was ok but we found Ambers to really stand out. |

My wife and I live in the Charleston, SC metro area so we are fortunate enough to have a plethora of fine dining to choose from from the downtown and surrounding areas. Local seafood, asian, italian, we love it all. Half the fun of going on a vacation to us is trying new restaurants.
My favorite food has to be sushi. The sheer variety and richness of the flavors are simply amazing. One thing on my bucket list is to go eat at Sukiyabashi Jiro, a restaurant featured in the documentary "Jiro Dreams of Sushi." Jiro is considered by many to be the best sushi chef in the world.
The movie was on netflix at one time under the documentaries and I think it may still be there.
There's also some clips on youtube from where a guy goes to eat at it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asH4jhr8E20 |

Haha!
Ah. Forgot to answer OPs questions, was too busy! Healthy food as a day to day, I prefer. Indulgent food once in a while of course. If I eat it too much I'd feel so unclean! Home-cooked of course! I like to add bits and pieces to food to make it my own. If I'm not paying of course, I'd probably just wolf down much of anything!
Food pictures? Nawh. I prefer my food to be something of legend. You hear about it but you don't believe it fully until you see it in person! :D
