Cooking

[hoaxci5]

Anyone else enjoying cooking? I'm fortunate that both my wife and I do (when she's home..) and we have talked about in the future opening a restaurant/brew pub (I'm a homebrewer in case you missed that...)

So whats your specialty? What does your family/friends ask you to make when they come visit?

So far I've got tequila shrimp, shrimp pasta in a vodka cream sauce, and my ribs which are ever changing but always good. I think all three are good enough to be on my restaurant menu.. I feel like a yuppy but I kind of hate going out to restaurants anymore unless they are stupid expensive because in general I feel like I can prepare better meals than they do.. I only go out anymore for convenience or have to spend big bucks to be impressed.

Anyone else? Or am I really a food yuppy? Share your specials if you've got them. It doesn't have to be fancy, I'm still a sucker for a good grilled cheese, I feel like it's my kryptonite, I can't make right to save my life, along with meat loaf.. go figure.

We cook quite a bit.... my wife didn't cook when we first met, but over the years she has taken over the kitchen. Our "signature" is our chicken cacciatore! Started with my Grandmom (we're 100% Italian), then my dad modified it (he's a really good cook) and we've made our own adjustments. The meat literally falls off the bones and has flavor all the way through.

.... i think we're going to make that tomorrow now that im craving it...

No, I have always wanted to try but have fallen back on store bought.

My wife has made pizza dough in her bread machine, take all the hard work out of it and turned out pretty well.
