So does anybody cook? I've only turned on a stove a few times in my life and I'm almost 34. Usually fast food are the microwave is my best friend. some of you may be shocked to know,that I'm not that fat at all. I only weight around 160 pounds. That's because I only eat once a day and snack on junk food the rest of the time. So,does anybody cook,instead of using the microwave are going out to eat? The food network had made me think about giving cooking a go. What are some easy quick meals? I also drink soda like it's water and water like I should be drinking soda. I just wanted to add that fact for the hell of it.

Need to cook man.

You may not be fat, but all the chemicals/plastic/dyes/poisons you're eating in your diet will kill you early.

Think I'm crazy all you want, but the next couple generations will start having lower life expectancies even though medicine keeps getting better.

Cooking is not that difficult. Plenty of great recipes and instructions on the net.

checking the net is a good idea. thanks for reply.



I normally love to cook but have been real lazy the last 4-5 months.. There are lots of simple dishes that are just great, and some real good comfort home food isn't all that hard. Like a good meatloaf is simple as hell, but man does it ever taste good, especially with a side of mashed. The hardest thing with cooking is judging how cooked it is, and when its getting a bit over done, but with meat thermometers these days it makes is much simpler, and you can also cut into the meat to check. Although this allows the juices to escape.

as said before, the internet has taken alot of guess work out of it. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of recipes online for every ethnicity you can think of.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I don't go to that area.. it's hers

Learn to cook meat, potatoes, vegetables, rice, pasta and eggs the way you like. If you know how to cook them just right every time, mixing it up and adding other ingredients will be no problem. Cooking is easy, cooking to your preference is the real skill.
