Smothered pork chops with andouille sausage and potatoes simmer in Guiness and chicken broth in my old cast iron five quart dutch oven:

I like baking as well as making ice cream, I find it relaxing. I'm adept at making pizza as well, but this is only a result of not having any good pizza places in my area. I can make other things as well, like steak, but I don't really like the cleanup with meat products.

Right now I'm planning for a Kouign Amann. I tried it once a couple weeks ago and screwed up horribly, but I think I can get it down the second time.

If you want a good way to keep recipes on standby and easily recalled (plus you have an iPhone) then get the epicurious ap. It will even make you a shopping list based on the recipes you want to cook (really handy). You can search for recipes based upon a plethora of criterion; from main ingredient, meal/course, cuisine, dietary consideration, dish type, or season/occasion (you can include multiple criterions in your searches).

Its certainly simplified my recipe hunting =D

I cook! Spinach and ricotta cannelloni with Italian meatloaf! mmm mmm

 

[MASantos]

I cook too. Did it professionaly for over 8 years now and at home over 10! (I'm 24 ATM)

Today I did 11 pounds of organic tomatoe jam!

If by cooking, you mean making something that is edible and not making something you'd want to eat.... then yes, I can cook.

I believe in doing my part to keep the restaurant industry alive and prosperous.

Otherwise, I can generally just manage to keep myself alive with meals generally consisting of pasta and some sort of sauce, or bread and some sort and meat. When I'm really feeling adventurous, I go wild and put some sort of meat in the sauce, then pour it over the pasta and eat it with bread.

I make maybe half to three quarters of the food I eat. I'm partial to soups, grains, and noodles. I'll see if I can find the right cable, and maybe get a pic or two up (non-standard mini-USB on camera).

Just today, I made miso soup with shiitake, green onions, and herring [size=xx-small](canned carnivorous fish is handy to have when lazy)[/size], for breakfast...kelp-free broth, though*. I'm thinking of mini shells in a white sauce or tomato-cream sauce to meet the sun with.

[size=xx-small]* I ordered konbu, and couldn't tell it was Wel-pac from the store's pic. Sure enough, it cost >90% what the fancy shmancy stuff does, and had what seemed to be bird droppings dried into it (the aroma was obvious once it started soaking), rather than being fairly clean. KAME may not generally be amazing, but Wel-pac never seems to disappoint.[/size]

Herring isn't for eating - it's bait...

That's a non-stick Cuisinart pan that I chose after comparison with stones and their hassle. The real trick seems to be the four minute pre-bake of the crust before it is loaded. That and the Pa's secret ingredients and preparation.

It's been an evolved thing. SWMBO and I think it produces the best crispy cracker thin crust we have ever had anywhere. YMMV.
