Chef Illinaisa
One of the few productive things I wanted to do this summer was figure out how to cook at least a few things decently. And by cook, I mean minimal use of microwaves, frozen foods, and cell phones. I'm wanting to do this mostly to save money - eating out and buying semi-made stuff all the time gets kinda expensive. I also figured that it's not a bad thing to be able to do.
Of the dishes that I have cooked, most have turned out okay. Surprisingly, I haven't screwed anything up too bad. There was only one dish that was bad enough not to be eaten, and I blame that partly on the six year old flour. Oops. But out of the dishes I've made, I'd have to say that stroganoff is the winner so far. I've still got a few more I'm wanting to try, so that may or may not hold up.
So if anyone out there has ideas and/or recipes for me, let me know. I'll try almost anything and hopefully won't butcher the food too badly. Even if I do, I'll probably still eat it.

albert. taking the cell phone out of the kitchen is like taking the wind out of the sails.
why don't you make some tuna tar tar?
i've always liked stroganoff myself. i made it a couple times last year and school, and i thought it turned out ok.
probably my fav thing to make for myself is breakfast stuff. usually i mix some hash browns, onions, peppers, eggs, and cheese. if i've got some ham around that's a nice bonus, heh.
Tuna's pretty good, although I've yet to try the chipotle egg sandwich that was mentioned earlier. Maybe I should get on that.
I've tried out some sausage/mushroom/green pepper/onion/tomato omelettes, and those are pretty good...I just can't flip them without breaking the damn thing. And yeah, I remember the eggs/hash brown stuff...I think the version I had had some hot dogs in it :)
But as of yesterday, the feta shrimp linguine I made tops out the stroganoff. Meh, still hoping to find a few more dishes. Yay cooking! Only if it didn't take so long...
I have a lot of vegetarian recipes. Somehow... I don't think you'll be as interested in these. Hmm.
Mm, you'd be right about the vegetarian stuff. Maybe on the side, but not as a main dish.
