    Anyone here know how to cook? 'Cause I don't. :D

    I took up cooking a couple years ago when I was partway through college, so I started with simple dishes like chili and scampi. Every now and then I'll try something a bit more ambitious like some alfredo or curry dish, but I'm still learning, so those don't happen often.

    What do y'all like to cook?

    I make good grilled cheese. Easy to make and very tasty.

    Another good easy meal is to combine a couple cans of tuna, some mayo, chopped up onions and celery, and place it on top of bread or a bun. Put a slice of cheese on top and put it in the oven for about 10-20 minutes. Tuna melts. As for the advanced stuff, thats what Boston Pizza is for.

    I can cook just about any common meat on the grill, I can grill anything from a fish fillet to a beef brisket to a bison burger, so yea, that's what I like to cook XD

    My favorite thing: Burger made with 85-15/90-10 meat, using Worcester sauce, garlic powder, onion salt, cumin, and black pepper used as seasoning, cooked to a nice medium on the grill.

    Haw. I might try that except that it's against my religion to use canned meat or vegetables. XD

    Other than that though, I do like fish. What kinda cheese do you use?

    I'm a bit of a foodie.
    I love cooking just about anything, but I have become a master at grilled sandwiches and burgers.

    I can make breakfast food, or anything that can be fried or grilled.

    I recently invented a new sandwich.
    Liverwurst, bacon, sliced onion, spicy mustard, and provolone, on sourdough.
    I call it the Stinky.

    I grew up on canned food, sandwiches, and leftovers. About the only things I can 'cook' are mac & cheese, sloppy Joes, eggs (they always end up scrambled), and frozen pizza.

    Cooked? Pancakes, scrambled eggs, omelets scrambled eggs with stuff in it, boiled sliced hotdogs with spaghetti noodles threaded through them, anything that comes in a box with instructions on it.

    I want to make one of these.

    I started forcing myself to learn how to cook when I moved out of my parents house a year ago.

    Back then my meals were, well... filling if nothing else. Now I can cook quite a few things, though I'm a fan of relatively simple dishes; Pizza (I make my own bread base too), pasta, nachos, roasts, stir fried rice, rissoles, Moroccan style meatballs and I started making curries recently too.
    Sometimes I'll make things like cookies, brownies or banana cake but not often.

    Cooking is awesome!

    You will need:
    -Two Cups
    -A Fork
    -A knife
    -A Tablespoon
    -Two Slices of bread
    -Some syrup
    -An Egg
    -Some Milk
    -Some butter

    Take one cup, empty the egg into it and add three tablespoons of milk. Stir vigorously with the spoon so the yolk mixes in with the milk, leave for now.
    Take the bread, slice it into squares with the knife. Use your fingers to smear butter around the inside of your unused cup, add the bread to the buttered cup.
    Mix your milk and yolk again, smoosh the bread so that it won't cause the mix to bounce out of the cup, then pour the yolk/milk mix to the cup of bread.
    Put the cup of milky eggy bread into the microwave for two minutes, grab your syrup, be careful to watch so the egg doesn't expand in the microwave.
    Remove cup when done, add syrup generously to the cup. Eat with fork.

    ~French toast for one.

    Never, under any circumstances, should you EVER attempt to make this recipe.
    French toast in the microwave is a culinary abomination.

    How warm exactly is your climate? It's usually between 28-33°C (summer) here, and I found from experience there are quite a number of vegetables that do surprisingly well if they're kept in a cool dark place, I just keep mine in the cupboard.

    Potatoes (including sweet varieties), do really well, I've kept potatoes for nearly a month and they were still good to eat. Almost too good, they started to grow! Onions and garlic are great too. I buy these in bulk all the time, usually in 2Kg bags just for myself.
    As for fruit, any citrus will last forever outside the fridge as well as passion fruits.

    They're my regular out-of-fridge foods anyway.

    Agreed.

    As a side note, having your microwave break and not wanting to spend the money to replace it is also a great way to learn how to cook :derpe: Been microwave-less for about 2-3 months now.

    [FONT=&amp]Could do an experiment, get some produce and leave them on the counter and observe.

    A garden couldn't hurt, we grow peppers and tomatoes in the backyard.
