Cooking

[Paul83]

Alright I better not get blasted for putting a "Cooking" thread in the mens room but hey originality never hurt, right? Anyways I went to the monthly potluck at my homegroup last night and cooked for the first time in a LONGGG time. I used to do it a lot before the years of torture I put myself through and am just realizing how much I missed it. Also I found last night that what I brought (a simple Creme Brulee (Italian Theme Potluck)) was one of the biggest hits there ! Anyways, for you cooks & tailgaters out there, what is your specialty?

Specialty? Don't have one really, though I really like to cook, and I like making different things whenever I can. Either kicked up staples or the simple exotics.

BBQing and Smoking is my favorite way to get it done.

I'm always trying to think of different ways of doing stuff, and I don't keep track of recipes, I just kind of "go with the flow".

Last weekend I made pizza's with a special homemade sauce, and it was really good, but while I was eating it I was planning on how to do it different next time.

While going thru all the bs in the past, at one time in my life I lost control of myself and weighed 350lbs. I weighed like that for about 3-6 months, then started to diet and worked out. I can make some really good food, but with very low fat and calories. I make this one eggplant lasagna, only 230 calories and 6 grams of fat for a very nice sized portion. My family used to eat it and thought it was delicious, my mom used to ask me to make it all the time. I need to start cooking like that again. BTW I lost 90lbs in 3 months, without using any drugs!

Chili and I had the same results at the first pot luck.
here it is 5 years later and they still expect I will bring chili.
I have done shepards pies as well. Once I know who brings what, I can let them know what I would bring and they will bring things that go along with it.
A main dish, they will bring sides. A full sized turkey or roast, another will bring potatos and gravy, another a green bean casserole

I can cook everything. Not much into baking things like bread or dessert, mostly main courses. Seafood, chicken or red meat. Eggplant is also something I love to eat and make. I love to make salads, vegetable and fruit (mostly tropical). I also make a very good cheezecake and Grasshopper Pie.

Mmmmmmmm Grasshopper pie. Now I feel like taking a midnite trip to the grocery store.

My clili is pretty good 2 alarm. My group has a catfish fry in the spring, been on that cookin' detail since I got sober. I just inherited a big ole smoker from one of my bro's today.Put some new wheels on it, gonna clean it up, paint the outside and give it a good hot burn and it will be good to go.
