I
enjoy cooking, but I will go for long periods of time without wanting to. I can't bake to save my life, except for macaroons, and I don't think that really counts as baking, lol. Except for a few basic meals, I usually need a cookbook. I get really into it when I do. I put on music, and bounce around in between chopping. I really enjoy cooking for other people, but have only ever had two "dinner parties", and they were more hilarious than delicious. For one, I cooked an elaborate couscous with some kind of veggie combo, and a black olive tapenade/bruschetta (my guests were vegetarian.). The problem was that at the time, my apartment was the sweltering top-floor of a Brooklyn brownstone in the middle of summer, so all of that hot food just wasn't appetizing. To top things off, I wanted to serve ice-cream sandwiches for dessert, but my refrigerator decided to break, so instead, we had ice cream soup with cookie mush, lol. Typical! I dream of cooking for a boyfriend again. I was pretty good at making the occasional treat.

| Posted Dec 29th, 2007 at 4:38PM mmmm struggling to think......depends so much on time of year, how hungry I am, what mood I'm in ....gosh I'm sounding fussy here!! I'd like to try new things actually, I'm getting a bit in a rut .....surprise me! : ) Bit "sensitive" to wheat and dairy....(and alas, bananas and oranges so will be difficult I know).......but you can come up with something I'm sure..... |
| Posted Dec 29th, 2007 at 4:58PM Vegetarian? |
| Posted Dec 29th, 2007 at 5:03PM Not necessarily.......I was for years but have dropped it now, became too sensitive to a lot of the veggie ingredients... Something "vegetabley" would be good to counteract the stodge of the past few days I reckon.....with a bit of a tang to it! |
| Posted Dec 29th, 2007 at 5:14PM Hmm...lobster bisque, crisp green salad with orange-mustard dressing, and a hand-rolled truffle for dessert? |
| Posted Dec 30th, 2007 at 3:53AM Sounds goooood!......will have to change the dressing , can't have the orange, but I love mustard! mmmmm Are you coming here to cook for me or shall I come to you? : ) |
