Men who can cook.

[Jovan]

I still enjoy a meal or two at the local family restaurants and pubs from time to time. Yeah, it's not gourmet, but it can still be tasty. While I do have much developed tastes from what I used to, it hasn't necessarily "spoiled" me.

 

[Joie DeVive]

In the kitchen, perhaps?

You actually made me laugh out loud with that one....

You are something else! :eusa_clap

 

[Joie DeVive]

*raises hands and jumps in the air*

In my humble opinion, that makes you quite a catch!

Most fellows I've met who say they can cook mean that they can boil up spaghetti and pour bottled sauce over it.....:eusa_doh: lol

 

[Diamondback]

I love to cook myself, when I get a chance... and I'm not talking about cheating with bottled/canned sauces either, unless I made and bottled 'em myself!

On the other hand, I've done things where you almost couldn't tell I started with Hamburger Helper...

The big difference between the two is I only do hardcore cooking (an all-day process) when entertaining company, and the 'Burger Helper cheat' is when I'm with relatives after about an hour of gut-rumbling and nobody else showing signs of being on for mess-call. Or throwing something together for unexpected visitors...

 

[Jovan]

Pft. I make my OWN sauce.

In fact, I'm making fish filets and potatoes O'Brien as I speak.

Pft. I make my OWN sauce.

Hey, so do I--it's just when I do, I also package some up for a "quick-fix" situation later. Nobody specified WHEN you had to make it, as long as you made it yourself... lol

EDIT: Computers in the kitchen? You're almost a bad as I am--my laptop also contains my "recipe box"--how's that for geeking out a kitchen?

 

[Jovan]

People worry about me jumping on the computer for a bit when cooking because well... my computer's actually upstairs. The fish filets were baked in the oven though, which is an underrated way to cook meat since you just have to listen for when the timer goes off. It was blackened with some Chef Paul Prudhomme's and topped with melted butter and some parsley. I'm proud of myself, and have some left for tomorrow!

Yeah, speaking about that, I always make enough sauce etc. for another time, so I can quickly have a meal without needing to make it every time.

So, now the question is, gentlemen, WHAT do your aprons look like? [huh]

 

[Diamondback]

"Apron"? *snort* What's that?lol

Seriously, I don't use one, ever. Although I might consider one that says "Kiss the Cook" under certain conditions... lol

 

[Marc Chevalier]

So, now the question is, gentlemen, WHAT do your aprons look like? [huh]

And *what* do we wear underneath them?

[dhermann1]

Apron???

So, now the question is, gentlemen, WHAT do your aprons look like? [huh]

A lot like trousers.

 

[Jovan]

Don't use an apron. Actually... this is sort of embarrassing to admit in real life, but I dress in a proper shirt and trousers so I can feel suave when cooking. Like Jack Lemmon in The Apartment.

 

[pretty faythe]

So, uh, any of you good looking cooking fellas planning a trip to Vegas? lol

 

[Jovan]

Canada. Not Vegas unfortunately.

 

[koopkooper]

does cooking a tv dinner count??? Am excellent at puncturing the plastic wrap and putting said dinner into microwave. I can even read the packet to ensure I put the timer on correctly. Now that takes skill folks.

My Risotto Alla Tomasso has been known to weaken the resolve of many a young lady.

Sorry ladies, you will be powerless against the effects of my risotto. [huh]

It really isn't fair.
