" So we can just let them go at it for a while, but it doesn’t take very long. Just watch. Are you watching? "

Yeah ... just enough time for the eggs to stick to the Teflon in a cheap frying pan... or should I say, the Teflon to come off the cheap frying pan and become part of the eggs.

You don’t need fancy equipment to be a gourmet cook

Some of the best meals I ever ate in my life were over a camp fire or from the coals of one.

My cast iron dutch oven is a great place to make biscuits.

I like to eat and I like to cook. That is pretty simple.

And even my mother-in law likes my cooking.

Especially when I make sweet rolls

Cute. :-) My husband is a great cook, btw. He uses the gas grill all year long, even in the cold winter.

You cook! risotto?! I thought he was an opera singer?! Oh, sorry. I confused him with Mani Cotti (or is it Gotti?).

Actually, our family enjoys cooking.

The fictitious character, Al, reminds me of an old friend of the family. He’s single and in his 80’s. Can’t cook toast.

I like to eat, and learned to cook before I met my wife. (married 38 years in March) Have done all the baking in our family for over 30 years. My wife loves it.

At times it has really paid off. She had hip replacement surgery a little over a month ago, and had complications. When they pressed in the “cup” for the new hip socket, the doctor saw a crack in the pelvis. They said it would probably be 6 weeks until that healed so she could put full pressure on it. She is doing fine, but I have had to do all the cooking and most of what she normally does.

Made a batch of oatmeal-raisin cookies for her tonight. On request.

Also put some pork ribs in the crock pot this evening, expect good bar-b-que for lunch tomorrow.

I prefer to put three whole eggs in the microwave till they explodes. What I scrape off the walls of the microwave sort of taste like scrambled eggs, if I hold my nose while swallowing.

“three whole eggs in the microwave till they explodes.”

One egg explodes, three eggs explode.

Anyone fondly remember "Cookin' Cheap" with Larry and Laban?

As a divorced male I am very familiar with the 3 basic food groups:

Drive thru
Take Out
Delivery

Your 3 food groups work for a single lady too, I can vouch for that. (Bump for the 3 groups, and for your great tagline!)
