BE HONEST - ARE YOU A GOOD COOK and DO YOU LIKE COOKING? I will say right now that when I cook something, I do it well. i don't really love cooking. It takes a long time and then it's eaten in a short period. I like good things to last. Be honest - are you a good cook? Do you like cooking or is it expected of you? What dish are you most famous for making, among your friends and family? Elaine Shuel |

I love cooking Elaine and I can cook Filipino and Italian dish very well. You ask me what you want I will cook. I learned cooking with my sicilian mother in law. Everybody loves my cooking! Betty "The only way to have a friend is to be one."

I have always been told I am a good cook. Years ago an acquaintance would ask me to make an apple pie for her as no one else could make an apple pie like I did. I have made so many things over the years and another friend liked my fudge. She said I made the best fudge. Unfortunately my fudge making days are over with as I have had to cut sugar out of my diet. Those are two dishes that were always a hit with my friends.

This seemed like a good idea for a post but now I'm getting hungry.  I could almost smell that delicious pecan pie. Homemade bread, fresh out of the oven, is heavenly. I'm not a big bread eater, quite the contrary, but soft hot bread is irresistible. Thanks for a wonderful comment, Pat. Elaine Shuel

I am a good cook...but like you Shuel, I don't prefer to cook. I'd rather sit on a stool with a yummy glass of wine, and have engaging conversations with the chef....  I can make a dynamite standing rib roast, lamb chops, sweet & sour bacon wrapped water chestnuts, etc. etc. Oh.... and my rum cake...  I used to have a sign on my fridge that said, "Let's eat out!"

I think a sign saying "Let's eat out!!!" is cute. Thanks for your interesting response.Elaine Shuel

Thanks Bob, so what's for dinner? Elaine Shuel

I can cook, but only cook when inspired, then I like to do something exotic. I dont like to make the day to day regular stuff for myself, but dont mind if others are coming to dinner and lay it on for them. Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.

I'm a lousy cook and accept that. If it were not for Ann, I would live on cornflakes and toast. Alfie...

When I had a big family around me I loved cooking, now I must admit I dont. Bob says when he comes out to me he does the cooking, when I go to him, he does the cooking!!! I titdy up everywhere.Actually, I really hate cooking now

I love to cook and still do lots of it today for my fellow. I open the fridge and spice drawer, never know what you will end up with & my saying is " if you like it that's great & if you don't like it don't worry I will never make it again as I don't remember what I put into it". I do lots of Chinese cooking and love to wander up and down the aisles looking for different spices & sauces. Cinnamon buns with sticky sauce are my very favourites to make & have no problems for takers there. I did not know that Australia has no cinnamon buns, made lots when there with my Neice & gave to the folks around.

That potato salad must be good. You can share the recipe if you'd like. Thanks for your comment, Helen. Elaine Shuel

Your cinnamon buns sound delicious. Want to send some to Toronto?  Elaine Shuel

Hot chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven and homemade bread, who could resist either of those? I know I can't. I'm sure they were wonderful, RosesLady. Thanks so much for your input on this post. Elaine Shuel

I'm a good cook, well at least no one complains. I don't cook as much as I used too, and only cook the the big meals when I have company coming over. Usually, I have a couple protein shakes a day, breakfast and a salad at night, and some days, I don't even eat that much. Other times, especially during the cold months, I make my stews, soups and chile, and I live on that during the week. Now do I like to cook? Yes, but I hate the cleaning up part.

When food is made with a mother's love, how bad could it be? Your kids are probably right and you're probably too hard on yourself. Thanks for responding, Rosie. I liked your post. Elaine Shuel

Now you sound like my sister. She doesn't mind cooking and does it well. She hates cleaning up so that usually becomes my job. I would starve on what you eat, Rae. Thanks for your comment.
