So, I get off of work at 5, after being there since 7 friggin-a.m., and I am super excited to make cheeseburgers! Except I then realize I never took the burger patties out of the freezer, and they are like little ice-blocks.
I am disappointed, so I have the old laziness debate-- should I bother cooking something, or just eat a few bowls or cereal, or possibly just have a bagel, or perhaps yet another tuna salad sandwich/grilled cheese (my usual lunch)? I decide I should cook something, if only because I just got back from vacation and my sleep schedule is completely screwed up, so I am trying to stay awake til around 11.
I have just finished my meal and am stuffing my face as I type-- fettuccine alfredo with mushrooms and delicious steak and fresh chopped tomatoes, and real parmesan cheese.
IT'S AMAZING!!!!1!!111 (ones for emphasis)
So I made this blog to tell you all-- cook some really delicious legit food tonight instead of grabbing whatever is easiest! It's so worth it, even if you're tired! ^_^
EDIT: Dessert = Coffee ice-cream with crushed twix bars. :D
 
|
do you think the same way after cooking done? personally, it seems only worth it because of how good food tastes with an empty stomach
|
Sounds great man. The best meals are when you are super hungry.
|
Agreed. Too often have I just made a frozen pizza only to look on it with regret. Take the time to enjoy your food, especially if you have any skill at cooking. Much like a good macro game, it's more work but it's more satisfying to succeed.
|
Well, lol. I enjoy cooking for itself, as well as for the end product. So I would say it's worth it even after the fact. :D
|
Ah, the joys of cooking... Big ups to you! I have to confess Im a little jelly you can afford steak on a regular workday. As a student, I can only afford to buy good meat on special occassions 
|
This thread needs more pork based deliciousness.
...Just sayin'.
|
Coffee Ice Cream + Twix sounds fucking amazing. imba dessert.
I had a cheeseburger tonight \o/, though your dinner sounds a lot better, rofl.
Now I'm hungry! It's almost Saturday, though, which means Korean BBQ in a couple of days! 
|
I have just one question after reading this blog--what exactly would constitute "fake" parmesean cheese?
|
The food you cooked sounded delicious, but I lost all desire in eating it when you mentioned mushrooms. I fucking hate mushrooms. Make more cheeseburgers. In-N-Out burgers FTW!

Yeah that motherfucker says 100% real but no one believes that crap anyways.
Maybe Fresh would have been a better word.

No fucking pictures? What kind of a monster are you?
I love food too @____@

I can always count on I_Love_Bacon to poke his thread into any food-related thread

Got my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday. Can't eat a thing delicious yet
But as soon as I am able to, I am going to cook so many things, I can't wait.
|
Awesome decision to make your own food!
Inspired me to make some nice beef stew with potatoes, carrots, and a few lentils added in for texture. Like the stew I read about in fiction books that makes me hungry :>
Cheers to healthy home cooking :D

Uhh that is incorrect. It IS legit parmesan, just the elitist cheese snobs dont like to see their priced food turned into a cheapened mass consumption product, hence a certain distaste for the packaging.

Yayyyyy all the hungry people.
I would have included pics, but I ate it too fast. >o> Seriously, lol, didn't think of pics til I was done writing, and then my food was almost gone.
Also, first time I've been able to have steak since New Year's. (Definitely cannot regularly!)
And by fake I mean pretty much the Kraft cheeze dust, instead of a fresh(ly aged?) block of the stuff. :D
Rkie: That sucks. Eat some ice-cream though! :D
CodECleaR: WEWT! Homemade deliciousness! ^_^ Gj cooking for yourself tonight!
|
Congrats on your meal! There's always this feeling of satisfaction I get after making a nice meal . It cannot be generated from eating out or eating a quick meal lol. Unfortunately, I am in a rush so I am going to quickly eat a sandwich plus some yogurt-nut mix 
|
I hate making myself food even though I end up doing it anyways.
I usually feel great when I get to make food for other people and they end up enjoying it, makes me feel like I did something special
....now I'm hungry and I'm too lazy to get out of my bed, thanks.

LoL... Maybe that just means 100% of the "cheese-like product" has been grated? The phrasing is interesting.
EDIT: Wow I should learn to read the shit in the huge red box. I only read the topmost "100%" :X
I made stuffed roasted red peppers today. Delicious! Easily one of the best meals I've ever cooked for myself. I used whole wheat rice and lentils that I cooked a day ago in the place of beef or whatever meat eaters use. Baby seal flesh? I dunno. Anyway, try some of those out. Very easy to make, delicious, extremely healthy and satisfying.

I think he considers "real" parmesan as parmigiano reggiano, aka what real Italians eat.

I wouldn't eat that Kraft shit either. :0
|
I got all excited for the cheeseburgers, and was disappointed you didn't make any. But then you made a dish I absolutely love (minus the mushrooms) so I forgive you.
...but next time include pictures. >:O
|
Red is my girlfriend, but we live accost the country from each other! cant wait to get some of her good cookin!
|
disappointed by the lack of pictures
but i'm happy that you cooked something for yourself and enjoyed it
|
food blog without pics = blasphemy
|
Sounds good.
Last night I made some Mexican rice + Mexican flavored chicken with cilantro for some delicious taco deals.
I also love food.
|
Omg, i hate when people do this to me haha.
Tell me about all the delicious meat + portebello mushrooms slowcooked in wine and...
Listen to Frim Fram Sauce by Diana Krall while reading this

Dont be ridiculous. Even if it is legit parmesan (which I HIGHLY doubt), by grating it before consumption it loses a ton of taste. Same with pepper, any spice basically. It has nothing to do with being an elitist snob, everybody who knows a thing about good food and cooking knows you should always take the whole product and slice/grate/chop/whatever it yourself for best taste. And especially with parmesan, the grated stuff tastes like ass compared to grating it freshly yourself.

Aw you can totally grill frozen patties. The ones at school are all frozen but come out just fine. Personally id never freeze at all if I wanted the best taste. They're gonna get a bit watery when you defrost. Gj on an epic meal tho. Burgers tomorrow! Pick up some bacon, Swiss and more mushrooms and you're set.
