cooking

I now have all kinds of time to try out different cooking recipes. Let me start with my egg recipes first. 

I used to never like to eat scrambled eggs, but now I do enjoy them. I think the problem was my mom and dad told me to make scrambled eggs by putting some eggs on a skillet and just mixing them up until they were cooked. This result was not especially tasty, and I now have found a much better recipe that makes nice and fluffy eggs. I also have a funny story about omelettes. I used to never order an omelette at a restaurant because I never knew what they were. I was looking up recipes to try out on the internet one day and found an omelette recipe where you put the eggs and cheese in a heavy duty bag and boil the bag in water for fifteen minutes. My dad thinks this is asinine and gives me hell about it, but I've never seen him make an omelette, so how can my way be so ridiculous? I have now found a better easier way to make an omelette from watching a video on youtube, and the recipe is coming along very nicely. I also found an easy way to make french toast using a george foreman grill, so I can eat french toast as often as I want also. 

My hamburger recipe could use a little bit of work. I have advanced to where I now form up the patties using a plastic bag. That works pretty well since I don't get my hands all grossed up. However, they don't come out just how I have in mind when I cook them on the grill or the foreman, so some more investigation and practice are needed.  My steaks turn out okay, but I think my main problem may be how clean my grill is. I used to always cook hamburgers and steaks on top of some tin foil, but I have lately got away from that. My chili usually turns out pretty good, but I don't have much of a recipe that I follow. I just dump plenty of seasoning in, some hot peppers, onions, and some other things that I don't recall at this instant. I have tried some pot roast recipes, the one I have bookmarked got some good reviews by my mom and youngest sister last time I tried it out. I have tried some hamburger helper deals, the one I cooked saturday night was pretty good, but most of it is still left. I just put my leftovers in a mixing bowl and put the lid on it. The leftovers are sitting in my refrigerator still. 

When I go out to eat, which is generally with my dad and mom, I usually order chicken or seafood. I must piss off my dad when we go to longhorns steakhouse, because I order shrimp just about everytime. Getting a steak or meat cooked by someone else doesn't appeal to me, since I eat that food all to often at home. Even when I go to the old y restaurant, its either the shrimp dinner or texas tenderloin and french fries. 

I also notice that about evertime I type often, I type oftern the first time the have to retype it. Maybe I can convince enough people that oftern is a form of often and put that in the lexicon.
