Oh, I enjoyed this. . . I like to cook. With three kids, it's almost a necessity. I go through fazes where we are doing take out all the time because like you said, it sucks to have to make a special trip to the store. It turns out to be a more expensive and more time consuming enterprise.
Now days, I usually plan out meals. If I buy a big bag of potatoes (Fuck the no carb diet) then I have two different meals planned using potatoes. Then, of course, being from Hawaii, I stock rice like it's going out of style. You can doing anything with rice! Of course, I'm a vegetarian, so I don't need to know how to filet ::grins:: but chopping veggies is a bitch! My hubby used to be a chef at macaroni grill back in the day and I get him to chop everything cause he's SOOOO much better at it. I've yet to develop that special skill.
We ought to start a post our favorite recipe on our LJ's. . .I love finding out the simple, fail safe recipes people use. We all have them, the ones that we know we can make for Thanksgiving or a dinner party and people won't be snickering and pointing behind our backs.
