COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #68

oh no. I can learn though.

 

Cut up a big salad! Lots of different stuff.
Throw in some drained water-pack tuna.
Top off with low carb Italian dressing.
Whole wheat bread on the side.

There ya go!

 

Oh I can do that and I love tuna. Maybe some garlic butter for the bread (not good for my cholesterol I would assume)
Thanks Debby!

 

Chips dear, run over to your mothers and get some homemade soup out of her freezer, grab a loaf of bread from the deli and a salad bag and a fresh bottle of salad dressing and you'll be good to go. That is if Debby's idea doesn't grab you. (T would die if I served it to him)

Then I want to know how long you've dated him that he doesn't already know that you can't cook. And how you made it to adulthood without learning how to cook.

Whew, what a day! I can't say I haven't accomplished much today cause I haven't hardly sat down. Now I'm tired and I still need to sort clothes and make Precious' pants. I'll have to see if I can get my energy back.

 

Thanks a ton!

 

My mom wasn't really much into cooking cause she worked two jobs. I lived off happy meals (probably why I have high cholesterol at age 27). I've been dating my boyfriend for over 8 months and I have cooked him lots of desserts but never a real meal. I told him a long time ago I couldn't cook so maybe that's why it never came up. He volunteers to cook for me and I'd be stupid to say no. His food is incredible!

 

Sue, the salmon patties on that thread sound delicious.

 

Sorry to not be here Chipsgirl! Glad Gib wasn't here tho! We know what he'd recommend you cook!

Baked chicken is always easy. I sprinkle mine with garlic salt. Breasts take about an hour and all you do is stick them in the oven at 350°. Do you have a microwave? You can 'bake' yams, sweet potatoes or regular baking potatoes in only minutes. Some butter, sour cream and bacon bits if you're into that type thing, top it nicely. I steam veggies but you could even use canned peas. Buy the salad that's in bags. Make sure you check the date on the bag tho!

 

I already thought about what Gib would say! Haha. I actaully have some sweet potatoes at home. That sounds kind of good.

 

Chips, if he cooks you better keep him!

I love it when T cooks! He claims he learned to cook because I couldn't. I allow that particular delusion to continue and sometimes I even encourage it.

T works late tonight so I don't have to cook. I'll just open a can of soup or something for the kids. Or let them make pancakes. They love to make thier own pancakes. Even Bitsy stands in a chair and flips her own.

 

Well actually, Would have suggested brown rice (instant)green beans and a salad. Wash it down with an orange and call it a night.

 

Howdy!! Chipsgirl, I cant believe you asked MEEEEEEE for cooking tips!!!! No one EVER does that!! Let us know what yall had.

I had a fairly productive day today. I had a lipid profile done this morning before heading to Jazzercise, then took the girls to ballet lessons. Came home and gave DH the car so he could head to the seminary. So I cleaned the house and did a load of laundry. Then I made some gumbo (my first attempt - and it was actually good!), taught lessons all afternoon, then after getting the kids to bed I went to the church (across street) to decorate for dd's b/day party Saturday. Whew. I am so T-A-R-D tard I could... (anybody know how that ends??)

Have a good night, yall!

And I was going to suggest having her mother do the cooking - like Marie Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond!

But then she said:

So I guess that leaves out her mother's cooking - especially if she cooks Italian like Mrs. Barone!



PS - When I read farther - I discovered that her mother doesn't cook much either.

My mother was a great cook - but neither of my sisters learned to cook from her. My youngest sister is a manager for McDonalds - and does very little cooking. There are a lot of empty pizza boxes at her house. My other sister is fortunate - both of her husbands have been good cooks - so she has been able to get away with not cooking much!

DIANE and SUE - I thought about making this a double post - but decided not to - are you proud of me. I haven't been on BB much since last June - and could use the extra posts!

 

Well I sure got lucky! On my way home from work, John called to see if, instead of cooking, we wanted to go to dinner with his family. Well, now I have all day to come up with a meal for tonight.

 

Awww. Poor little thing. What caused her teeth do do this at such a young age if you don't mind me asking?
