What's for Dinner?

Hope it was as good as it looks because it looks mighty tasty.

 

[jamespowers]

I found the right one, but I still do all the cooking. It's better that way, to put it nicely.
Mine can cook, but it takes all day.

Tonight, since she's still working, I cooked pork loin slices and Italian sausage.

Takes all day. :rofl: Boy she has you trained.

Then again, if she works all day and you are home then you have to do something. I would do pizza---delivered.

I was lucky, before. My ex was a fantastic cook, plus my mom taught her how to cook my favorite meals. I couldn't lose.

I can't cook worth a darn, but mom did teach my sister, so someone benefited from her skills.

A nice girl does not necessarily mean a nice cook... and just in case mine is looking - I got lucky

It seems more and more young people these days can't cook [even basic stuff], and the skills of our parents and their parents, is no longer being handed down... one for the declining standards thread

I hope you do find a nice girl and she can cook Tom

lol lol lol

Why would he want someone that can cook him? LOL

Commas are Tom's friend.
The difference between "Let's eat Grandma!" and "Let's eat, Grandma!".
Remember, punctuation saves lives.
Specifically Tom's.

I've been pursuing one, but my timing seems to be off. I can't win at anything lately. Been in a terrible bad luck streak.

Nice would be one who can cook. Why get married if you have to still do everything?

I am with you Tom, find the right one.

I'm having microwavable country fried steak on a bun, right now.

 

[MarkJohn]

Oh dear, and quite right for calling me out on that one

My punctuation can be terrible, and is clearly a sign of my own declining standards... I can cook though

As for cooking Tom? a hog roast comes to mind; lots of crackling for me please

[V.C. Brunswick]

I've been cooking since I was a teen and was, for the most part, self-taught. It can be done.

 

[Stray Cat]

Someday, I'll find a nice gal and I'll get decent meals. Til then, I'll just have to eat garbage and hope not to die.

Key word here: "nice" girl. Nice girls know how to cook, nice girl make and mend clothes. And nice girls know how to change a tire. :thumb:
..just watch out for "nicely polished" girls - they appear just the same as "nice" girls.. but, oh.. they're so NOT the same thing.

Yes ma'am! I'll have seconds too---before the firsts.

Understood, sir. :nod:
Will you have a pint of cold beer with that?

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Oh, I know. I've been burned by them my share of times lol

I forgot to mention that one: they STING worse than bees. :deadhorse

Took a friend out for a meal: they call it "a salad"..
Chicken, smoked cheese (she took care of it), ham, eggs, mushrooms.. served on a thin pita-bread..
(some green things involved.. we didn't bother to try those)

Sometimes you just can't beat a hot dog. Actually in this case a Maxwell Street-style Polish Sausage. LUNCH.

One of my recent crock-pot meals . . . homemade Brunswick Stew.

You stewed VC Brunswick?! No wonder he hasn't been posting lately.:eeek::eusa_doh: I think I see moustache in there!:eeek:

Yes indeed, you are too kind.

Oh geez! I don't even own a microwave. lol lol

That makes sense. I liked him too, but apparently Matt likes him better...with peppers and onions.

James let's just say I'm self taught like V.C. Brunswick (RIP), but I've also learned a lot since my grandmother taught me 30yrs ago.
Plus I have a large amount of older cookbooks that have the "old" way of cooking, when nothing was bad for you.
Of course working all day has prompted me to gravitate towards meals I can cook in the Nuwave Oven or Pressure Cooker, because they only take an hour at best.

Tonight it was fajitas at my sisters. Precooked meat from Sams, but free is good. Forgot the hot sauce though dern it.

 

[Touchofevil]

After a hot day (93 degrees), mowing the front yard, washing the Suburban and the truck, it was kept simple; two turkey sandwiches with pepperjack cheese, tomato, dijon mustard, avacado, and a zesty dill spear while watching UFC 161.

Oh thank goodness Matt didn't eat you. We were scared there for a while. We thought you met your fate with fava beans.

I didn't say I couldn't cook or even bake for that matter. I said I don't cook.

Here in the deep South we have a summer sandwich tradition called the Tomato Sandwich (also known as a mater sammich). It's as simple as it sounds: two slices of bread, a thick slice of tomato, mayo, salt & pepper to taste. Dress it up beyond that, and it's no longer a tomato sandwich.
