Do you like cooking?

minasyu · Post by **minasyu** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 2:50 am

I like to cook because I want to let others eat my cooking products. I want to see their face with a smile when they feel my foods are tasty and good. I would feel happy when I see their smile and eating happily. Since those foods are being cooked by my hard, heart and love. I hope that they can feel it.

However, I do not like to clean and wash the dishes and tools. It is because those dishes and tools are oily and dirty. They are different to clean and wash.

Therefore, I always have the problem of cook and clean. I love cook, but I hate clean.

I like to learn cooking but it is quite difficult for me. Even though I have an excellent teacher, my Dad, I still can't cook well.

Yeah me too, that's the bad thing about cooking The same happens when you throw a party 8) You have to clean afterwards So if you want something... it will cost you 8)

I love cooking, but I have to be in the mood and have the right ingredients.

As for the cleaning up; that is my children's job.

Cooking is better :

for budget
for culinary knwo-how
for ecology
for gustative sense
for self-confidence and satisfaction
for communication

and

moreover :

I like cooking, too !

Wow I can't believe you were 27 before you tried to cook. Didn't you take cooking at school, or cook with you mum at home I started cooking when I was about 6 years old at home with my Mum. I used to love being in the kitchen watching her. 8)

One of my sons nearly burnt down his brother's kitchen trying to cook chips. So I know what you mean. I'm so glad that you cook now though. 8) Do you like cooking? What are some of the dishes that you like to cook?

I didn't like cooking. I love only to eat. I haven't the time. After work I go to school. Every day I come at home at night. (11 pm).

If I had to cook I need a 30hours day. I like it fast and healthy.
By the way I can't cooking. 8) :D

DocAndy, I thinks you're wrongly about the cooking's question....as you say, you haven't a little of time to do it every day. right?? but me too!! I EVEN go to work at night and learning in the morning..so what!! you say will be take 30hours day when you have to cook...my god..this impossible to happen...I just take some time to handle the cooking ( didn't need as you say 30hours) hehehe...by the way, as the fast and healthy 's food can't exist(two) .like the fast food always have too much calorie..it just would let you change fat day by day....come on ..wake up ,guy.. you should learning how to cook by yourself and I BELIEVE the food's healthy...

I don't mind washing dishes when I'm in a nice kitchen. In a clean kitchen I tend to like my dishes washed after I cook and eat. I've been cooking spaghetti these last few days and I'm loving it although today I felt like throwing up when I put it in my mouth. I still liked cooking it though. :D

Yes but there are people who don't have a dishwasher in the kitchen.

NB : I have a dishwasher and I like using it as I like cooking.

NB2 : I don't mind if I have to wash dishes. Do you find it humiliant or are you all lazy ?

Humiliating? Why? We've washed the dishes forever at home! We've had the dishwasher for months only. But once you try it, you see how easy it is to do the washing up! :D

I like cooking and can try to cook many new dishes. The result sometimes it's not good, and I think we have to fail some and we will be successful later! ^^ My bad result, uhm... my husband always eat and encourage my ability... ^^ And now I can do better!
