Maybe let him make their dinner and you make yours! That's what I would do. I would not give up my meals for two spoiled rotten kids ;)

Almost Gobbler Day. Who is cooking and who is going out to dinner? Myself cooking. (sm)
We usually have everyone bring a dish of some sorts. Large family, probably about 30 plus. Set up 3 extra tables in the garage for smokers and cardplayers and have a great day stuffing ourselves.
Looking for different side dishes, suggestions anyone?
cooking in crock pot right now
Either beef stew meat OR a chuck, whatever. One can cream of celery, one can cream of mushroom and one can french onion. Don't have do do a thing. Delicious
I'm cooking. Daughter and son-in-law,
son, husband and myself will be spending Thanksgiving together (after my son and I get off work).
Yes, and I'm the one cooking the turkey
Don't think my guests would appreciate a "tofu turkey". I will do the whole traditional meal and those who choose not to eat the turkey will still have plenty.
How do you get rid of cooking smells?
I've about had it with cooking any beef or pork at all. Even cooking with hot oil.
I cannot get the lingering odors out. I wash the pots and pans, put up the leftovers immediately, clean the stove and all surfaces but it just lingers.
Does anyone have a solution?
Ever try cooking a meal in someone else's kitchen? sm
You know how to cook, but have a tough time finding where everything is kept in that kitchen so it takes a while longer. You could cook the same thing in your own familiar kitchen in half the time. This goes for MT, too. It takes a long time, even for those of us who have been transcribing half our lives, to get used to new formats, new work type codes, new voices, and learning idiosyncrasies for each and every dictator. It takes time--a few months or more. Be patient, and the line counts will surely add up as you become more familiar with the account.
son cooking steak and shrimp
what a treat. Someone else cooking for a change.
Make my own. Cooking's a hobby.
I'd almost like to be a caterer or chef, but I don't like working evenings or weekends. LOL
MIL is cooking it- IN- I did it for the first time last year, also IN-

Well, I messed that up, meant to say DH is cooking

We're cooking out today....sm
went to the zoo yesterday and did yard chores.
LOL! Possibly my husband's cooking?
You should see some of my personal medical reports other people have transcribed. Jeesh, can I sue as a patient for such poorly transcribed reports? Thanks for the laugh...
Meat cooking is harder, IMHO
Remebering my childhood as an animal eater, I think it is harder cooking for meat eaters and way more expensive than vegetarian foods.
Take turns w/ menu (and cooking and cleaning..)
I grew up in a house w/ a six-pack of kids and if you didn't like what was for dinner, too #$$# bad, will give it to your brother lol.
What are you cooking for 4th of July? Recipes encouraged please!

Don't be afraid of it. It's really hard to mess up Oriental cooking.
Here are the links to the recipes that I printed off of Google. (I love the Internet! No more cookbooks, only Google for recipes.) I cheated on the plum sauce by buying a jar because our plums aren't quite ripe yet. Buy the egg roll skins instead of trying to make your own, too.

For the fried rice, you can use any type of rice. I use brown basmati or jasmine rice mostly. You can also throw in extra vegetables and leftover meats (pork, beef, chicken) to make a meal out of it instead of a side dish. I like those Oriental pea pods, bok choy, water chestnuts, baby corn, and Chinese cabbage.

I'm going to combine and modify the eggroll recipes so I have shrimp/pork egg rolls. I use canola oil instead of vegetable, peanut, or sesame oil. I don't care for sesame seeds or bamboo sprouts, so I add extra water chestnuts. Use frozen or fresh instead of canned crab or shrimp. Use diced, boneless pork chops instead of ground pork or sausage.

Usually I just have coffee. Sometimes I'll have oatmeal. Today, DH is cooking again!
We're having breakfast "hash" with scrambled eggs, ham, hash browns, cheese, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, and red pepper in one skillet. Whole wheat toast and chipotle Tabasco.
Oh, me too!!! When I got my first microwave (very expensive) we all watched the bacon cooking.

I've tried mayo cooking fish - DELISH (sm)
for cholesterol-watching husband, JUST DON'T TELL HIM - he'll never know
except I love cooking w/alcohol/wine in sauces!!
.
I think it'll be Make-you-own night. I don't feel like cooking either. (nm)
ss
Yeah, I'd have to let them start helping with the cooking to learn some appreciation (sm)
"Sounds mean but I came from a family of 7 that had only 1 income and we ate what was put on the table and if we complained too much then we had liver and spinach the next night. "
That's hilarious! Your parents were smart! I grew up the same way, except that spinach was one veggie we liked, and mom only made liver twice a year because she hated it herself.
Went simple. Homemade chicken soup cooking all day in the crockpot and sandwiches. NM

Did you see where Andy from Iowa survived the first elimination round on that cooking show!
It's kinda like Survivor in that people get voted off... I think it's called America's Next Great Cooking Show Host or something. and the guy from Iowa (reminds me of Dudley Do-Right) stayed in there! WOOHOO!
A day together at a spa. Personal training session at home. Take a class together - cooking, candy
