    I really enjoy cooking and, not trying to brag, pretty good at it. However m wife does the majority of meals except for summers when I am off. (Teacher) However this will change soon as I am retiring at the end of the school year. I enjoy setting my meals up as sort of a challenge. One is to simply cook a great meal when I can go to the store and get what is needed and I have plenty of time. Other times my challenge is to produce the dinner in about 30 minutes or less. The last challenge will be to prepare something good using only the things we currently have on hand -- sort of a meal like the show on Food Network, Chopped. My wife is usually much better at this type of meal.

    What do you want? An etouffee? Jambalaya? Duck a la Orange? Kung Pao whatever? Barbecue, grilled, fried, poached or steamed? Yankee pot roast, or specialty salads?
    I can and have cooked all of these and more. It's a necessity when you been married and divorced as many times as I have.

    So with all the 'chefs' on here, we should have a lot more participation in the dinner porn thread...

    realist what's the name of the little red book? I think I can find it I believe MSU has been putting old books on line and there are cook books on it.
    The substitutes list would be very handy.

    Got some steaks on reduced price, saved $7 on the family pack... damn beef is EXPENSIVE.
    Anyway, Lil'Bravo has dinner detail tonight, she has watched me plenty of times cook on the grill, tonight I shadow her on her first grillin' experience.

    Ill be DAMNED if a kid of mine will grow up and not know how to cook, much less be well rounded in cooking!!

    EB my sentiments exactly. My oldest is a great cook. My youngest likes to eat and will be out on her own in a couple of months. She does not seem too concerned about cooking..............she will learn or starve........

    Katrina, I'm out here in Virginia teaching a class. I will not be home for a couple of weeks, I will get it then.

    What do I want??? all of it, what time is dinner. I agree I like my cooking much better than my ex-wife and my current wife, its called survival.

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.

    Um, EB... isn't she like in her late teens? Why hasn't she been grilling for 10 years or more already?

    T- Master one skill at a time... I finally got her doing mindful thinking, steaks on a grill are low priority. Raising kids these days is almost like a battle of her mind.

    So anyway, the steaks she did were GREAT, better than if I'd cooked them!

    I hope to teach charcoal soon too... Shes been a help with cast iron & fire wood, soon she will be rolling solo with that too...
