Default What is your favorite food and drinks? do you cook yourself?

I don't cook roughly, but i can do some light or fast food like sandwiches and tea or coffee and some fresh juices [ofcourse when i am alone].


My best food is our Arabian rice with mutton, prepaid in weddings and some very special occasions.
My lovely drink is a cocktail [not any cocktail].

I eat some healthy food these days, and i left many fast food like burgers, chicken nuggets, some Pizza's,..., and all those drinks like Pepsi, Cola,. and so i don't drink [very rarely like once every 1-2 months].

My girlfiends sister in law is part Sudanese part Arabic and was raised in the UAE. She makes a very nice rice with lamb, among a variety of other middle easter and mederteranian dishes.
All the spices and flavours used a very different from western cooking.

I do most of the cooking at home, sometimes I even enjoy it.

Default Re: What is your favorite food and drinks? do you cook yourself?

I cook fairly often but mostly simple stuff - pizzas (olive oil base, a sprinkle of cumin, some spiced meat, mozzarella (or however you spell it), capsicum, onion, tomato, carrot) hamburgers, fish, rice & veg...

I don't eat any fast food and I don't drink any carbonated beverages - for me it's tea, water or fruit juice

It took me a few months to get into the habit of cooking for myself but it's well worth it - I save money and get to eat much nicer stuff that's tailored to my tastes.

I'm a big fan of this type of food...


My favorite to go out and eat would be Japanese...(sushi) but being from New Orleans, I can't go without our Cajun cooking. Just lastnight I took a shot of some shrimp I cooked. I'll post the pic a little later...

I'm usually in the kitchen with my wife and we often try different dishes. Not long ago I had caught two Rainbow trout and, after cleaning and seasoning we placing lemon slices in the body cavity; I then wrapped them in aluminum foil and cooked them on the grill.

They went very well with the steamed asparagus, couscous and white Zinfandel wine.

We caught a whole lot of Browns at x-mass. Then went from the lake straight into the steamer with a dill and pepper seasoning topped with sliced lemon.
Very nice!
I still have one frezzer, but I know it just won't taste the same.

I love to cook, as long as someone else cleans up. Love cajun food, I make a killer Shrimp Etouffee. Family favorite is my grilled cedar plank salmon. Searching for a good braised lamb shank recipe.

I have so many favorite dishes, but I would take spaghetti any day of the week (and I cook it too!)

For snacks or dinner I take some chicken or beef bullion, eggs, onions, many, many, many spices, and whatever else I feel like tossing in and make a pseudo-egg flower soup. Really good and clears my nasal passages.

Are you eating food at home mostly or you go to restaurants? let's say a lunch time or a dinner.
Lunch time is always at home here, but dinner depends, sometimes they cook at home sometimes we have to order dinner for delivery.

out or in? both...depends on work schedule, but it might be equal amounts. Lunch is 50/50, but dinner is usually in. I try to eat about 4-6 meals a day, so many times it's just a protein shake or some sorta protein snack.
