Cooking? Me? *snerk*

[kageotogi]

I was somehow roped into making dinner for my family tonight. *headbash* Now, you see, this is a complicated thing. Why? Oh. I'll tell you why.

Point A: I do not have the attention span to cook. I can bake, yes, and occasionally that'll even turn out the way I want it to, but cooking? Nuh-uh. Too much work for my brain to keep track of.

Point B: There are five people in my family. Both of my younger brothers are very picky eaters, which makes it hard to find something they'll eat. My mother is a low-carb nut, so anything I make has to be made for her needs. My dad is easy about this sort of thing. Yay Dad!

Point C: Because I don't cook, I have no recipes. This makes cooking difficult, as I will forget what I'm doing (see Point A above) and leave something out or repeat something altogether.

Points A and B I can deal with. Point C is the real clincher in this case. *taps foot* I can improvise. I just need a recipe. Preferably something to do with chicken. *goes off to root through her pathetic recipe collection*

And, once that's done? Homework. Oh yes. Gyaah. T_T

My suggestion....

Easy Supper bakes by Campbells. You put everything in one pan and then put it in the oven. 30 minutes later you've got dinner.

*lol* Nice. I'll remember that. I think I found a good lemon chicken recipe, though, and if the brothers won't eat it I'll tell 'em to make their own dinner.

You're posting on the internet about not having recipes?
Google is your good friend-- even for dinner! :D

oooh, I can't tell you what you should cook (I'm a caribbean vegitarian and I like seafood, so that's nil if you want chicken), however, I do know that I also lack the attention span to watch and make sure that food doesn't burn... that and I become happy when it does burn, because then something changed XD (not a pyro)

*lol* Okay, okay. :P I'll never share my cooking-related pain with the world ever again. ^_~

Hehe. You should add (not a pyro) to the end of everything you say. It would make me giggle all the time.

Oh, I sympathize! There's a lot of pain associated with cooking-- the least of which is a healing burn on my hand. I hate cooking. Of course, I wouldn't have volunteered to cook and if I had my family might have said something like, "NO! Dear gods, NO! We'll order pizza or something instead."

Eek! Have someone kiss your burn. That'll make it all better in no time. *nod*

Cooking is the evil. I don't know what I'll do if I ever have a huge fight with Joan. *__* Between the two of us, she's the only one I trust with a stovetop. For that matter, I'm not sure why my family decided to volunteer me. My brothers hate everything I make (like I said before, they're very picky eaters) and my parents were around when I once made tacos and we ended up going to Pizza Hut instead. I guess they're hoping I actually learned something useful at school. -_-

When you cook, all you have to do is follow your nose! When it smells done, and tastes good, it's ready to eat! Stir fries are fun and easy, and low carb....just get one of those frozen stir fry packs(with all the veggies), cook the chicken/beef, then add the frozen veggies, stir & fry, voila! easy cooked meal...
