I thought of this thread today. Realized that many of u don't know how to cook or are afraid. if you are living alone and eating out all of the time this is for u. You will be healthier and save a ton of cash by cooking at home.....
There are very fine cooks on this board just ask.
Let's start. And don't be afraid to ask. I luvs cooking

here's a good one when you feel like being "nice" to the WAS. i got the idea from my 10 yr old, who wanted to do it for h for x'mas last year. at his family's x'mas, there is an orange in everyone's x'mas stocking, and everyone always eats theirs (i know, sorry, wrong time of the year)
ingredients: 1 orange syringe with needle lots and lots of chili powder a little water or OJ
recipe: mix chili powder with water or oj, to make a paste that's thin enough to pass through the needle. Fill the syringe, and inject the mixture into the orange through the skin. place in WAS's x'mas stocking, if possible or offer it to them when they stop by at other times of the year.
make sure you mark the skin so you don't eat it by mistake!!
see, you don't even need a toaster!!!!

so - i'm the serious sort, that when one asks a question, i take it literally!!
here's my easy chicken dinner - takes about 5-10 mins to put together and throw in the oven and then there's nothing else to do. i use a large rectangular pyrex dish
chicken thighs and legs - throw them in dish splash balsamic vinegar and olive oil over them add quartered (big pieces, or whole small potatoes) potatoes, onions, sweet potatoes whole garlic cloves, unpeeled whole carrots peeled 1 tbsp of mixed herbs (herbes de provence) sprinkle black pepper over all if you like add water - about a quarter to half inch in the bottom of the dish
cover with foil - i bake in the bottom rack of the oven at 425 for 25 mins, then down to 350 for 15 mins. then take of the foil and let the chic brown (if you're in a hurry stick it under the broiler) if the veggies start drying out too much, turn them in the liquid that's at the bottom
when it's nice and brown, pull out and serve it.
happy cooking!!

ok.. here's a recipe i use to make when i was just starting out..
-chop chicken breast (or thighs.. whatever) into cubes. -saute w/ garlic and olive oil. remove chicken and put aside. -add condensed cream of mushroom soup to pot and thin w/ milk or water. not too much or it becomes soup! simmer.. -add chopped up red bell pepper slices and sliced mushrooms.. -then stir in penne pasta (or you can use bowtie if you so desire). yummy.. creamy pasta. and cheap!

rick.. now.. if the bowtie pasta is best served in an enema.. do you mash it? blend it? to get in the enema bag? wow. i think i need to be a way better cook to figure this one out. lol
