You cannot post links in discussion threads - you do realize this is an IM forum? Nothing wrong with 'cooking' as an off topic thread...but no promotions permitted.

Finding cooking sites - simple google search turns up more good sites than you can use.

No offense and in all sincerity I have to admit I cannot stand Cooking. To me, why waste hours upon hours of putting together a fancy meal that will be gone in 30 minutes or less. Just go and buy something or just "nuke" it

Most of my meals are gone in 10 minutes or less. The finest the freezer to microwave or canned goods can offer, I do augment them though with various things, eat a lot of curries, I add some cherry tomatoes and some Cashew nuts to them a some sour cream and Chinese hot sauce.

I take it then that you can afford to eat out a lot being a man of means and living in a gated trailer park :-) However, not always good for breakfasts if you don't feel like going out. I suspect you have some bare essentials there.

It takes you 30 minutes to eat?

When Cheryl makes me supper, by the time the plate lands of the table, it's empty.

True Fact: In Claude's mother tongue, there are no words or phrases for the concept of a "last supper."

It does, however, have 74 different words for the sounds of pants ripping.

Claude told me it was uncomfortable for him to wear a face mask due to his enormous nose. I said that's no excuse, I still put on underwear.

Oh, I love to cook, but I won't call it a hobby. My hobby is fishing, I love to sit on the shore of the lake with a fishing rod on warm mornings, I feel solitude with nature.

I spend my nights fighting crime as The Alabaster Tallywhacker. My fondest wish is that ....just once...a criminal will look up to a rooftop and yell "Run! It's the Alabaster Tallywhacker!"

All educated people know what alabaster is.

For those of you considering looking up the meaning of "tallywhacker"......don't!

Where the crime fighting, criminal and rooftop comes into it is anyone's guess. The repetitiveness of asking: "Would madam like the deluxe model", and: "Is that cash or card sir", obviously comes with certain side effects.

Thanks

The only way you'd make it up to a roof top is if the rest of the building were subterranean.

  If he ever managed to make it to the rooftop of a building, that building would end up becoming subterranean no matter how strong its foundations are.

Dear oh dear, you would think that everybody spent all their time at home, never going anywhere, and struggling for material to talk about if they decided to venture in here. I admit I haven't been around much as I have had plenty of work, but sadly, it has shriveled up. So I will visit now and then, to see if anything has changed in the forum.

I do see some old friends and some newbies too. Good luck to all and stay safe, wherever you live.

Good to se you Laurence. Hope all is well.

For me just a place to come and take a rest and get a little entertainment from everyday Living. I am glad to see the Off topic room come back to Life with some of the 'oldies'. For awhile no one was coming around
