I don't know why it's so hard to cook now, but it is. Maybe it's the lack of the respite we used to get from even the occasional meal out?<br /><br />Keep on cooking and writing, Reds!

I bought myself a new 36" Blackstone Grill with Air Fryer for Mother's Day and have been doing a lot of cooking (and eating) outside. My daughter (who is 35) has always hated mushrooms but has been trying to expand her palate and so I made grilled, marinated portabello mushrooms. They have become a favorite for all of us. I make a bunch of extras in hopes they will be around to throw into a big salad for dinner or my take to work lunch. Trying to make extra through this so I have lunch at work has been difficult. I finally realized I need to put aside what I want the next day, then tell them dinner is ready!!evhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17115095440272797137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-67492046079762308462020-07-14T07:12:13.199-04:002020-07-14T07:12:13.199-04:00I can still hear the jingle, Lucy.

Although I don...Kathy, I cook it all sorts of ways. Although I don't usually broil--and definitely not in this heat! Poaching is lovely, and I've discovered some great Instant Pot recipes. Sounds unlikely, but you just bring the pot up to pressure then turn it off. You get very moist, tender fish. But tonight I think I'm cooking it on the grill, with a soy sesame marinade I got at Trader Joe's. I do a stir fried salmon red curry that we love, and salmon cakes from Robin Ellis's cookbook are a staple on our menu. Most people use canned salmon but fresh is delicious and really easy.Deborah Crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988750789088153601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-82658928086348341822020-07-13T18:40:02.611-04:002020-07-13T18:40:02.611-04:00No disasters because if it's not burned or raw...No disasters because if it's not burned or raw, I will eat it. My friend and I went out to lunch and ordered the same burger but mine was medium rare, and hers was medium well. Even though she asked the server which was which, she got the wrong one. Mine was delicious but she took hers home to microwave. At least they had tons of French fries on the plate. <br /><br />Except for that meal and one delivery and one take out, I've been cooking. Tomorrow I'm thinking of getting something at the Giant's take out area. I also bought things at the farmer's market to heat up. Stay safe and well.Sally from PAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649707016754971847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-36985173163911332902020-07-13T18:15:53.821-04:002020-07-13T18:15:53.821-04:00If it helps, my mother did the cooking when we wer...If it helps, my mother did the cooking when we were little, but when my dad got shifted to the 8-4 shift as a cop, he started doing most of the cooking. My mom would still cook some meals but it was mostly my dad and when he died, I took over doing a lot of the cooking as my mother decided to make sure I knew how to cook a variety of meals.<br /><br />I had about 9 different meals in my wheelhouse. Nothing fancy but you wouldn't starve. Oh, and I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for a number of years (with some help of course) and I did Christmas dinner for a couple of years until my sister took that over.<br /><br />These days, I don't give a damn so there's only 3 meals I bother to cook and those are rare occasions for the most part.Jay Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409350742317719903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-41041937399424332512020-07-13T18:12:04.934-04:002020-07-13T18:12:04.934-04:00Gigi,

She was able to cook it perfectly, making it juicy/greasy with just the right amount of melting to the cheese and crispy not waxy bacon. But she's been retired for 20 years. So it is just easier to have these people who barely know how to follow cooking instructions burn the bejeezus out of the patty.Jay Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409350742317719903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-35070970897343374592020-07-13T17:14:23.805-04:002020-07-13T17:14:23.805-04:00I just want to know why all the cooking chores aut...I just want to know why all the cooking chores automatically fall to the women. Julia, does Vegan Boy ever cook his special diet to intro everyone else to its deliciousness, or does he just say, "Hey, I'm vegan," and let you figure it out for him?
