I enjoy.... eating. Does that count? =P

I don't like cooking, it takes too long.

Oh I love cooking! I especially like making chili dogs. I remember I won 1st place at my church cook off with the stuff.

I don't cook, but I eat. Oh, how I eat! I leave the cooking to women.

You sound like you'd love Alton Brown's show Good Eats. It provides great recipes, but it also gives you the background of the central ingredient and the 'why' for using it, which I love. Any chef can work off of a set recipe, but knowing why you use a certain ingredient and being able to use that knowledge to tailor the recipe to your tastes is great.

Crim, can you come live in Bristol and cook for me? I hate cooking - my idea of cooking is to get a pie / pizza / pasty out of the freezer, stick it in the oven and then leave the kitchen for 25 minutes, returning only when the buzzer goes off to tell me it's done.

If I'm feeling really adventurous, I may actually peel, boil and mash some potatoes, but most times it's frozen veg for the win.

Good Eats isn't a bad program, I should catch it more often.

I love cooking, but I hate wasting time more than I love cooking, so I usually just end up making simple crap I don't need to attend all that closely. I figure the more I get experience in actually cooking crap instead of re-heating already-made stuff, the more I'll do it, but eh. I'll suffice with simple crap for now.

I'd cook, but my hands are magnets for third degree burns.

I'll have to look into this Good Eats when I have a connection with a higher limit, it sounds pretty good =D

And DW, you cooked for me before so I'll have to return the favour. Just give me access to the Dreamcast and I'll come marry you ;3

Crim, I have a Dreamcast... >.>

Yeah but you live in the land of ghosts and lies.

Edit: DW on the other paw lives in the land of ghosts, werewolves and vampires =D

No Crim, we went over this. I live in BIZZARO WORLD. BIZZARO WORLD. There's a difference.

Wow, I didn't think much people around here loved cooking like me. I can make a decent alfredo and some good steak. I havn't done much more then that but I find it pretty fun to cook.
I also watch Good Eats religiously everyday. Well Food Network, but I really enjoy that sort of stuff.

Darn tooting. And they only live about a mile or two away from me. Or unlive. Or exist. Or whatever it is ghosts, werewolves & vampires actually do.

No Dreamcast though. Would the GameCube do? I have many, many DVDs, if that's any help.

DW

I can only cook a few simple things, like eggs...but it tastes great though!

I really need to learn though, hell, I want to learn, but I just haven't yet. :/

That's the one I meant. I think. Yeah, this'll work. Meet me in Vegas in a weeks time, since I don't think they do drive in weddings around here.

My father was awesome enough to teach me how to cook at a young age. =3 He made some speech about it, talking about how I've got to be independent and be able to take care of myself, and also to not just simply cook, but make the food good. It worked, so yes, I like to cook, and I make things....awesome.

A great man (who provided the inspiration for my first semi-elaborate dish (link goes to NSFW cooking video, BTW)) once said "Not knowing how to cook is like not knowing how to f&#*. You gotta eat the rest of your life; you might as well know how."

I find I appreciate a meal more when I'm the one who decided what went into it. Gives it a personal touch, y'know?

Me=Love cooking but the problem is I'm lazy.

There's always Gretna Green.

I like to cook, but like a lot of people here, I'm quite lazy. But when I do, holy crap, are the results amazing (or so I'm told). I mainly pigeonhole myself into just cooking breakfast food (with good reason, I can cook one mean batch of pancakes and french toast), but I occasionally delve into cooking things like pasta and homemade fried chicken.

I enjoy cooking with dog o.o

I really want to learn to cook, but unfortunately our house only ever reliably has pasta and cheddar cheese. So there isn't much to experiment with.

Pasta is perfect for me. You just need the right sauce with the right noodle. You can make some good stuff from free recipes on the internet. Of course if you don't really like making pasta then that wouldn't really work out.

i've been getting better at cooking, partly because will's parents sometimes buy us fresh foods to cook with (they're not ready-made meal peoples) and presented me with an collection of spices.
sadly half the recipes i want to use call for ingredients i don't have or can't find.. so i have to experiment.

still, i now know i can handle omelettes, spaggy bog, stir fries and etc. have yet to successfully make a proper coating for fried chicken, but it tastes yummy anyway. ^^

I'm okay at cooking, as in the food tastes okay, but everything looks kind of bad.

Every time I make chicken broccoli, I cook the sucker too long and the broccoli gets all wilty brown. But it still tastes okay.
Last time I tried to make omelet rice, I ended up making fried rice because I broke the omelet in two. But it tasted okay. That's what counts, right? Right?

I also have a tendency to not use as many measuring cups as I should, and I also get "tsp" mixed up with "tbsp" sometimes.

It all usually works out in the end though. =D

I actually like cooking. But I'm also lazy... actually, it's more a time-management thing. If I know I will lose time because there's something else I could be doing, I won't want to cook. Otherwise, yeah, I'm game.

Nothing fancy. Steak and rice, porkchops (my specialty) and rice, noodles, pasta and ground beef, BBQing... again, nothing fancy. Stacy does the baking and craziness cookbook stuff.

On laziness... yeah, that's the exact reason I don't cook as often as i'd like. Not so much the cooking as the going out and buying ingredients. It's something that strikes me down often.

To TUS, Egg Fried Rice > Omlette anyway =P

I'm the same as Jin - I don't mind experimenting with cookbooks or the limited repertoire of what I can do - but if I've got something else to do or I'm just too tired, I'm just as likely to put something in the microwave.

Given the amount of fresh, garden-grown vegetables at my parents' house, a lot of what I do involves soup.

Oh I'm AWESOME with soup! Pop open the can, pour it into the pop, heat till hot, and done! I'm awesome, I know. X3

I can't follow much cookbooks worth diddley squat, though.

I've been meaning to ask if you knew where that house was...

(Apologies to anyone who's not seen Being Human yet - see it, dangit! - and doesn't know what we're talking about. )

I like to cook. I learned from my mom. I am always experimenting with something or other. But I also hate it, because if no one in my house cooks, my siblings look at me.
