Cooking

[wtd]

Just curious... any other computer geeks here who enjoy cooking?

It seems a rather common hobby for programmers.

i prefer to cook the meat myself... my momy still does the side dishes though

and I want to learn how to make my own sushi... cuz buying prepared ones is expensive

[Dan]

pfff meat. i hate meat, just put some vegitarin microwavable thing in for 5 mins and we are done

so i guse that whould be no?

Well, I'm not usually so involved, but tonight I made homemade pesto sauce to put over baked turkey breast fillets. I love the smell of the sweet basil and cilantro.

Mmmm, cilantro. It goes down so easily, then it bites back.

Well, my dad likes to call me a chef. But I work at McDonald's, and let me tell you, I don't believe that qualifies as cooking in any sense of the word. So, really, no I can't. I've never actually had to though...

well wtd.. until i did gr.10 computer science... all i knew was how to code in BASIC (the old school one) ... so i wasn't that interested.... and I was going to be a CHEF.. and i took the cooking classes throughtout higschool...

I cook chinese food... which basically means... stirfried everything, rice, a variety of cold dishes, dumplings and various steamed stuffs... etc.

[wtd]

I figure cooking appeals to programmers because it's creative and detail-oriented, like programming, but doesn't even remotely involve a computer.

[Paul]

I just cook because I need to do it for my sister and I when my parents aren't home... also you can be as creative as you want when you're alone and you don't have to worry about other people's tastes, plus my girlfriend finds it impressive

I think that cooking appeals to programmers because, if you're anything like me, you forget to eat for umm... a few meals... and then you want something good.

And tony, don't worry, I can cook

haha, I'm not... I signed up for the biggest meal plan there is on the campus

but yeah... I intend on inmproving my meal making skills during the uni years. I mean we got a kitchen in our rez anyways

Haha, stir fry means wok + soy sauce and then throw in anything else that you want to actually eat.

I can cook Chinese food, and am learning how to cook western food. I still occasionally over cook something, but that's because I can't work the oven as well as the wok.

[Paul]

lots of oil and high flames (or whatever power you use) for me

[Martin]

What?! Aren't you changing your meal plan...?

[Tony]

umm... no...

besides - balance carries over to the next term anyways

mmm... food
