Cooking Options

[sixfive]

Well I guess first off, do you cook? How long have you been cooking for? What got you into cooking? Do you cook for fun or for practicality or for economic reasons?

I'll answer the question since I also asked lolololl - I've cooked since fourth grade, taught by my dad, and I cook for enjoyment / experimentation with foods/flavors. It also ended up being a nice skill to have especially from a female friend perspective :] but that's far from why I cook.

Second, how are you when you're cooking? For instance, last time I cooked I had a couple friends over whom I was cooking for. I told them to do whatever they wanted for about thirty minutes, tv, computer, wii, xbox, ps3, dogs, whatever they so desired. They wanted to help me cook, though :( I can't cook with other people unless they know exactly what I want them to do. I've cooked with my dad (he taught me how) since fourth grade so we can share a kitchen fairly well. We'll split up the chores and just go at it. My friends realllly wanted to help me cook though, so I didn't want to be an ass and say no so I had them do simple things that would hopefully take up a lot of time.

I don't like sharing a kitchen, at all. When I cook everything's going through my head in a way that if I tried to explain it I would sound like a babbling fool, but it all makes perfect sense to me.

i cook. i've been able to cook some shit for a long time. i started cooking way more though since going to college since my mom can't make my dinner every night

i cook for practical reasons, economic reasons, and every once in a while enjoyment. i don't want to eat out every night. i don't want to pay for it and i just don't want to mess with going somewhere all the time. i get tired of eating food like that. my girlfriend and i switch off cooking. pretty much whoever is home is who cooks. she is a lot better than me though and more likely to cook something extra for enjoyment. i don't mind sharing the kitchen with her, but she minds sharing it with me.

i don't really share the kitchen with anyone else ever. unless my dogs count. i get pissed at them for being in the way and standing under my feet when i'm trying to do something. i don't cook for friends so that scenario is never a problem.

i do find it sorta pathetic when people are grown and can't cook anything at all. i'm not talking about whip up a gourmet dish, i mean they can't cook some spaghetti and heat up some canned sauce. my life would suck if i couldn't do that.
