Cooking.

[Inui]

Who cooks? I'm really good at it. I specialize in meats, sauces, and Italian dishes and I'm trying to learn other things. I love cooking with garlic and onions.

Most young people suck at cooking and/or have no interest in it, which is sad.

 

[Purple]

lol, specializing in meats.

No but seriously, I really wish I was good at cooking, I've been reading this manga where people have extremely strong senses of tastes from eating gourmet foods, and in turn it helps them with their cooking.

That being said, Inui would you consider yourself having a very power sense of taste?

I guess it's pretty good. I don't know if something special or extreme, but I can taste stuff in food in most cases.

 

[Purple]

I don't know really how to explain it, it's just like some people depending on where they live are perfectly fine with certain taste, while others would find it appauling.

For example southerners and sweetening their tea. Some people add ridiculous amounts of sugar, like so much you can see it pile on the bottom. Honestly this is how I like it, so I can be okay with a lot of sugar. But a northerner would come and taste my sweet tea and be like

"dear god man how much sugar did you put in it?"

It's a bit like that, but these people with eccentric tastes either have had top notch 3-star (by a chef POV) food that is perfect almost every time, therefore their tastes in foods are already extremely heightened, or have to tear themselves away from tasting foods that are regionally biased, then lightly add ingredients so they can savor each ingredient entirely.

Well, I guess a better question would be do you have any bias towards certain ingredients? (I would assume onion and garlic)

 

[Inui]

Onions, garlic, olive oil... Yeah, those three things make anything better for me.

I guess nobody else besides us cooks?

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Cooking is fun!

I like making homemade spaghetti when i have the time/ingredients.
I also make a mean cheesecake. Yummmm cheesecake <3

 

[Omnicron's Baklava Enterprises]

Cooking is quite enjoyable.

I specialise in different variations of spaghetti, other Italian dishes, curry, and other Indian dishes.

Oh, and obviously Middle Eastern.

 

[Inui]

How do you make your sauces, guyz?

Let's start with...tomato sauces.

 

[Nø Ca$h]

all i can do is make special brownies for special occasions.

jk i make normal brownies for any occasion

 

[Purple]

Holy crap, I wish i knew how to make sweets "I naturally put too much sweetening flavorings like vanilla extract and such "

 

[Inui]

Baking is like...a joke. You follow a recipe.

In my family, recipes don't even exist. I think most of us are considered extremely good cooks, and not a single cookbook exists in our homes. THE ITALIAN WAY!

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

How do you make your sauces, guyz?

Let's start with...tomato sauces.

Hmm...Well, i just get canned plain tomato sauce stuff, add in some sliced tomatoes (best during the summer when they're home grown), parmesan cheese, onions, garlic, basil, other assorted seasonings that are in the spice cabinet, salt, ground pepper, and a small dab of sugar. Sometimes i'll add a bit of lemon juice if i have a lemon.

 

[Inui]

Cheeses are best added towards the end of cooking it. I've had experiences where the cheese can settle on the bottom and sides and burn. I actually prefer to not even add cheeses.

Do you use bay leaves? Any meats? I prefer pork for sauces, specifically rib meat. You know how there's that big piece of flabby meat on the top of a full rack of ribs that kinda sucks for grilling? I cut it up and use it in the sauce. Pork bones, pigs feet, and other things are great too.

I don't use bay leaves because my family would probably not eat it if there was (my mom and sister are picky). I tend to stay away from using meats because of well...sheer laziness. I probably would add some ground beef if i really had the patience.
Your cooking sounds yummy x3

 

[Inui]

I saute the rib meat with olive oil, garlic, and onions first right in a big pot and then put all the other stuff in after. Then I cook it for many hours, sometimes 10+ depending on what I have in there. If I have fresh tomatoes, I cook it longer until they break down.

Why would your family not make bay leaves?

Anyways, one of the easiest and most delicious sauces is a clam sauce. First you partially saute some garlic in a pot with olive oil. Get a few cans of whole baby clams or chopped clams or both, put the clams in the pot with the juice and everything, add some parsley and a bit more olive oil, bring it all to a boil, and then let it simmer for like ten minutes. It's quick, easy, and very good if you like clams.

 

[CRASHiC]

Dry rub is best. Wet meat is what women like.

 

[jugfingers]

I specialize in seasoning my meals with copious amounts of jalapenos and cayenne pepper.

 

[Delta-cod]

Hm, I never woulda guessed, Inui.

Anyways, I like to cook, but I'm too lazy to do so. I've cooked dinner for my brother and mom on some occasions when my mom wasn't going to get home until late. The most recent time I can think of is when I made some chicken with pasta salad. I wasn't sure exactly how I did it, although I remember using this charcoal rub on the chicken. The pasta salad was just cooked pasta left to cool off with added peppers and tomatoes and whatnot.

I guess I'm an okay cook. I never really practice, but I don't think I'm bad.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

I specialize in east asian foods and italian.

Can make my own pork buns

 

[Mota]

Can't cook to save my life.

Toast, 2 minute noodles. My cooking skills.

This is a big problem in society today. Parents aren't teaching their children how to cook. What are you going to do when you move out? Live on garbage and eat out a lot? It's cheaper and healthier to know how to cook and shop.

Hm, I never woulda guessed, Inui.

I hope that's sarcasm. My Ike is going to be cooking up your Yoshi soon.

Anyways, I like to cook, but I'm too lazy to do so.

Step it up. Sometimes I cook for many hours at a time. It's the only way to make a truly awesome tomato sauce, stew, and other stuff.

That's lazy!

 

[Purple]

Lol @ you getting banned for like an hour.

Inui do you read manga at all?

 

[Inui]

It was because...my signature was showing. I'm serious. Due to my bad past, I have many permanent infractions, meaning anything gets me banned, and a moderator seriously infracted me for having my signature showing. Your post before this one would receive an infraction from that moderator, btw. Apparently your signature can't be bigger than the amount of text in your post. Steel reversed it for me when I talked to him, and then I just removed my sig from my first post in here. It's an insanely stupid rule and I hope it gets changed.

Anyways, let's talk about cooking... >_>;

 

[Purple]

Actually, I distinctly remember that rule. While you could consider it picky, it's not something you can particularly catch a mod for, it's just them doing their job. I've been infracted for it before. I find it weird however, that most if not all the time the signature doesn't show if the post is too small, however it some cases it does and it has nothing to do what your post size at all. That rule is pretty silly though, considering it makes you have to post semi-walls in order to not ever get infracted.

Anyways yeah cooking, what's your absolute favorite dish to make Inui? Also, what would be a regional cuisine you're willing to learn?

 

[황미영]

I would love to cook good food! Especially pepper steak!

 

[Purple]

I'm not entirely a great cook -,-. I just like eating and trying to cook xD. I used to work at waffle house (bleh) and apparently all I could do well was cook eggs over easy, over medium, or over well correctly. Someone said they had the best eggs they've ever tasted at that store when I cooked them. Then again I don't just drown pans with oil when I cook like most cooks did there >_>'

 

[Today]

I really enjoy cooking as well! That and baking! I actually plan on doing a little something today so I'll post it and show!

 

[Inui]

That rule is pretty silly though, considering it makes you have to post semi-walls in order to not ever get infracted.

The rule is silly because a character amount filter already exists to enforce such a rule and a lot of people have it set in their profiles to automatically show signatures and will get ***** for it when it's such a silly rule that shouldn't exist. Either it shouldn't exist or the character amount should be increased to a number greater than the characters in your signature, like double, to automatically enforce the rule instead of handing out infractions over something that can be automatically enforced.

Anyways yeah cooking, what's your absolute favorite dish to make Inui? Also, what would be a regional cuisine you're willing to learn?

Pasta sauces. I love pasta, probably because I'm Italian.

I'd like to learn how to cook Japanese dishes. I'm already learning the language, might as well go for the food, too.

 

[Purple]

I was thinking the same type of dishes (japanese dishes that is). I've always been itnerested in their tastes in general, considering they eat different parts of animals or just different animals in general. Like on a regular day I'd eat cow (ground beef), chicken, veggies like broccoli, tomatos, and lettuce; they would eat crab, salmon, seaweed, etc.

 

[Inui]

Inui do you read manga at all?

I've only read two, Love Hina and Inuyasha.

http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Inui

I watch anime to the extreme, though.

If you want to talk to me about random stuff, you can just IM me. I'm an open and social dude.

I want to learn the stuff also because the culture of Japan interests me a lot.

I like sushi a lot.

 

[Purple]

Back on the cooking subject, it's interesting seeing how some people can make around 70-80k cooking, however make horrible food. Working at the Kroger Deli for about a year, I worked with this chef who was absolutely horrible. However she ruled with an iron fist so they were okay with keeping her around :X.

Are you going to be a chef inui?

 

[Inui]

I have been considering changing my major to culinary arts.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

I took a class on sushi rolling and how to make and stuff

****s hard

 

[Purple]

But it's worth iiiit :D

 

[Delta-cod]

One year, for my birthday, one of my friends gave me boatloads of gim. So one day for dinner, I had home-made sushi. It was really messy, though. It never stayed together very tightly and it sorta fell apart a lot.

It was so delicious, though.

 

[Today]

XD! I really enjoy making Asian dishes as well!

Today for dinner I'm planning...
Garlic Baked Red Potatoes
Baked Green Beans w/ seasoning
and Baked Chicken Breasts with a hint of lemon and seasoning. I'll make sure to post some neato pictures so be expecting some tonight! XD

 

[Gosu_Engineer]

Fun topic. I am also a culinary enthusiast. I even spent time doing it as a job for while, only prep though. I don't care to put in all that time it takes to get to the top of the chain


I'm compotent in various ethic cuisines and a wide range of courses; not sure how you would define "good at cooking" in this instance.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

Cooking is one of my favourite activities and I do it on a daily basis.

Inui, from what I've read so far I really like you general attitude towards cooking. I never use recipes myself because cooking has way too many variables to be simplified down to a simple recipe. I also wish more people could cook because there is so much more to it than just mere sustentation.
When it comes to cooking I just throw together what I feel like and it works out. I just follow my taste on cook what I like. I'm not a huge fan of cooking complicated stuff because I don't think there's ever need for it even though cooking means much more to me than just convert ingredents. Cooking is not an art. Everybody can learn it as long as you become aware of a few things and it's sad there aren't more young people cooking. Being young means being creative! That's like auto-win when it comes to cooking.

 

[Inui]

It's typical of Italians to just know what works and try stuff a lot. We also taste our food as we go along to determine if changes need to be made.

Tomorrow I'm going to make fettuccine with chicken and alfredo sauce.
