Baking/cooking impaired?

I like to cook but not in the summer. :) That is hubby's season to cook (if you can call lighting the grill and turning some meat over once in a while cooking :p ). By the time fall comes I am ready to begin cooking again. Now that we are due for some cooler weather I will bring the cookbook down off the shelf. :p

So I guess I can kind of cook.

I've "stayed alive" (or almost so) for a few more than 3 years!
And I did it before the MicroWave was *invented* and frozen dinners ??
tasted mostly like warmed cardboard! http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/tongue.gif

However, if it wasn't for my George Forman grill,
I think most of my meals would have come out of the freezer.

What's George got to do with the freezer??

George cooks a LOT of my meals - and most of them originate from the Freezer!

Good thing Mickey doesn't sell *Frozen* Big Macs!! http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/tongue.gif

Oh GEEZ, Phred, I am laughing too darned hard to reply,

Gotta Pray for that "frozen Big Mac" huh!!!!!

THAT'S where I went wrong. I'm hopeless at written directions

Hmm, so next time, call one of us, and we can walk you through it! :) Get yourself a paperback Fanny Farmer Cookbook - they're great for explaining things, and then you can call me and say "On page 832 - how do I do that?" ;)

Phred, you've been missing out. In the frozen food section they sell frozen angus beef burgers and they are quite yummy! I wish I could remember the brand but they are 100% better than the tiny little frozen whitecastle burgers. It might not be Mickey D's but it sure does make for a delicious dinner!

Not even a little, unless you count lean cuisine and a microwave cooking... :p

Heh, I am the baker while my husband is the chef. He can cook WONDERFUL meals so he is usually the one who cooks. I, if I do say so myself, am an excellent baker (cookies, cakes, muffins, etc. :p )! :D

Oh, I found the Frozen Angus Burger patties YEARS ago - before George!
Used to pan-burn em ... then George came along ...
YUMMIE with some Mrs. Dash on top and George doin all the work!

Tried those Whitecastle things once ... EEE-Yuck! Like a slab of rubber between
two pieces of soggy cardboard. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/tongue.gif

George an Mrs. Dash do a mean job on Frozen, Neked, Chicken Boobs, too!
Toss a frozen tater cake down in the corner, then nuke a few green beans -
and it's almost a MEAL.

Too bad Bagged Salads are a Killer these days ... they were kinda handy! http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/frown.gif

I can cook and bake and love trying out new recipes. I don't like cooking/baking the same thing over and over. If I am not in the cooking mood, I cook simple, quick meals. :D
