I have always enjoyed cooking. It's easier on my wallet and ultimately healthier for me in the long run. I have largely cut out fast food, and I do not eat anything that is processed or nuked in a microwave. I haven't turned into some sanctimonious health nut, but cooking my own meals has allowed me to stretch what I eat, get more bang for my buck, and allow for more variety.
I usually serf the web for recipe ideas. I found one website, 10-minute meals.com, with some easy recipes. The name is a fake out, of course. It may take ten minutes to cook, but each recipe may take 30 minutes to six years to prepare so I have to be a little picky when, during the week, I choose to prepare something.
I tried my hand at a few different things. Some things were hits, other went off like lead balloons. I have cooked home made lasagna, pot roast, gumbo, tikka masala, and chicken piccata. Each with their own varying degree of success.
Eventually I would like to get to point where I can start entertaining here in my apartment. I would like to have that fellowship around the table(I'll have to get one) and be able to serve them something that does not have the same effect as ipecac.
