What is the best thing you can cook?

For me, just bacon and eggs. I like to think I cook it right too, but that's doubtful. I'm really not creative nor talented when it comes to making a meal.

I've recently ventured to making spaghetti bolognese without the assistance of a jar of pre-made sauce, I actually do not too bad.

Man I always think you can't get more weird and then you say something else :lol

The image of Viazon and his equally odd mates all sat outside the supermarket eating chicken together in the car is too much :lol

Spaghetti Bolognese is a specialty of mine. No jars for me either, it's super easy to make from scratch, and much tastier imo.

I can also make a good lasagne, chilli and imitation KFC.

I make a really tasty Indian curry dish called "No Butter Chicken".

I also make a mean Sausage Rigatoni dish. It's very indulgent but super tasty. I usually make up some homemade bruschetta to have before it too.

Give me 5 minutes to look at a recipe and give me the ingredients and I can cook almost anything that doesn't require me to bake. I mean it may not be star restaurant quality but it'll be tasty. I have three things I love to cook more than any other though.

My favorite thing to cook and the best thing I'm able to cook is a nice deer roast filled with smashed garlic and rubbed down in a cinnamon, garlic powder and pepper mixture then cooked to medium, some mashed potatoes with bacon, cream cheese and chives mixed in, corn on the cob and then a nice spinach salad with strawberries, pecans, red onions and goat cheese or a classic ceasar salad since that's the only salad my brother will even contemplate eating.

I can also make a great deer and barley stew. Cut the deer into chunks and brown it off. I then cook down a whole pile of onions and garlic, use some white wine(I like to use a chardonnay) to deglaze the pan because I hate red(sometimes I'll use a decent beer). I'll add in some deer stock or beef stock(either homemade or store bought depending on if I've had a chance to make any) and some more wine/beer as well as splashes of soya sauce and worchestershire. I then have a whole pile of delicious root vegetables along with mushrooms that I toss in along with some barley and allow that to cook down. The starches in the barley and root veggies help thicken the soup into a decent stew. A common mixture of veggies would be potatoes, yams, part of a rutabaga, carrots, celery and peas. I also like to mix it up on occasion and throw in a celery root, parsnip and/or turnip as well as corn instead of barley since gotta keep the carbs in check :lol. When the stew is ready I'll put a handful of chopped up fresh spinach in the bottom of my soup mug and then pour the stew over top just to get some more veggies in. I like to pair the stew with a nice warm bun and a nice cold beer, usually a stout. This is a great hardy meal for late fall and throughout the winter.

In the summer I love to marinade some nice steaks in a mixture of soya sauce, garlic, worchestershire, pepper and beer and let it do it's magic. I then cook that fucker to a nice medium rare over the grill and pair it with a loaded baked potato or mashed potato along corn on the cob and a summer salad(usually spinach, mixed greens, red onions, tomato, goat cheese and red and green onions) and a nice cold beer or cider.

If I needed to cook one thing to save humanity from alien invaders then it would definitely be the stew.

You can get all of these things from local growers and the farmers markets or bonus points if you grow it yourself. I much prefer not shopping at super markets if I have the money to do so but with our winters it's a necessity. I know hunters and I like to hunt so if I can get a deer or two then that will last me a long time.

Pizza. Sounds simple, but having worked for a pizza chain for 4 years, I can make pizza like a master. Either that, or spaghetti with mozzarella, spinach, tomatoes and bacon. Sounds a strange combination, but it's good.
