The Anything Thread

QOTW: Do you like cooking? What is your favourite and least favourite meals to make? Do you eat a lot of home cooked meals or do you eat out more/live on take-aways?

I can't say that I enjoy cooking, never really have. I can cook though but my favourite type of meals are obviously the straightforward throw-a-bunch-of-stuff-together-and-have-at-it type recipes I must admit it's fun to make something nice when you're having people over but for everyday eating I would honestly be happy to live on salads and chicken. André on the other hand might just starve :lol: I'm a health nut when it comes to food so we do mostly eat home cooked meals and André has to add his own sauces and sugers and what nots if he wants to because I don't use a lot of rich products in my cooking. I like clean simple non-greasy food.

 

I love cooking! Always have. it runs in the family we are all good cooks, and i even like exprimenting with new ideas. I like trying new recipes.. i cant say I have a favourite but I wouldnt cook something to out-there. I love healthy, hearty home cooked meals. We rarely eat out. I like eating things I know I enjoy and that are going to make me feel good. I'm a health freak too.

 

I love cooking and rather home cooked meals then take out meals. mum is an amazing cook.
I like to bake cakes and such are always fun to do!

I have spent since friday in bed I somehow hurt my back over the pain that wont go away I have medication that the hospital gave me but it is not working, nothing is last hsc exam on wednesday hopefully it will be gone as sitting in the one spot for over 2hrs is going to be terrible!! :headbang:

 

I don't like cooking. I don't eat out a lot since I'm broke but mostly I have omelets, pasta, chicken and potatoes. Veggies are usually corn or peas. I have a very bland palate so I hate spicy.

 

oh im so sorry Codie. I hope your feeling better soon :hug: I feel for you, I;m in pain too. I forgot to add I love to bake too

 

I don't mind baking once in a while but I don't really like cooking all that much. I tend to make something that doesn't take very long or a lot of effort because I prefer to spend time doing other things. I still prefer to cook than to eat in restaurants though so that is what we normally do.

 

Thank you, I hope so too its horrible NEVER been in this much pain before its worse then the migraines i normally suffer from. pain is bad i have empathy for you lovely! I dont know how you can stand it :hug:

 

I'm sorry to hear about the pain Codie! Hope you feel better soon!

Sounds great to me Kendra! I could live on pasta and patatoes as well, love em! I wish I wasn't but I realize I'm actually a very picky eater, no seafood or funny stuff for me!

 

Thanks I hope so too over it another day which consist of bed and laptop.
I am a fussy eater too I dont eat any seafood which people consider strange as I live on the coast its like a staple diet but its gross!

 

What is so disgusting about fish? It is supposed to be "brain food"

 

Well it smells, taste gross and looks gross lol

 

I would actually love to be able to eat seafood! I think it's extremely healthy but I've always become sick whenever I ate it. I was convinced it was a mental block thing (Just have to stop believing it makes me sick) because I could always manage calamari at least. Well when I became extremely sick again during our 3rd day on Honeymoon (just after eating calamari) the doctor's did some tests. Turns out I'm Iodine intollerant after all (apparently calamari isn't so high in it so it wasn't such a big problem for me before) but it also seems like it becomes worse with age. No more calamari for me My brother wants to find out about it as well since he can't eat seafood either. It's still baffling to me that Gerda isn't intollerant to it. I am going to get more tests done when I have the time though

 

That is what my father says too but if you tell him it is chicken he likes it

That doesn't sound very nice (especially because I like fish ).

 

:laughing: We do that to chloe with things such as steak we tell her its veal and she eats it

Last exam and drugged up on painkillers dont know how it will turn out

 

Good luck on your exam

 

Thanks I'll need it, off to read over a few notes exam starts at 2pm or just before depending on numbers who are there and ready to go. Then freedom just wish I wasn't in pain, signed out of school just before

 

Thanks codie. that means alot.. I have a week today till i see the specialist. I hope your exams go well all the best. x :hug:

 

I totally agree with this too. Im getting sick of it too. I feel like im being lazy but I cant help it. I've got 2 more subjects to do this year, At least I have time to do that then.

 

I stuffed the exam up I couldnt focus and the pain was to much :cry: so angry at myself right now!! putting in medical misadventure though so hoping it will be ok. finished the exam just dont think ill do as well as I should of :cry:

 

Ditto on everything Brenda said on cooking I like fish, but not too much, I like simple stuff like calamari (offcourse peri peri - unlike Kendra I love spicy food ) and sushi, and a simple sole or something, I don't like seafood stews, and I can't eat a lot of fish, I like it, but in moderation (like 2 pieces of sushi is more than enough for me)

Codie I hope your back feels better soon! I know it can be really painful! good luck

 

Oh Codie. I'm sorry mate. I know how frustrating and disappointing it can be expecially when your in extreme pain. trust me i know! I'm sure it will all work out, and I hope the medical misadventure will assist you to get the best result possible under the hard circumstances your under. I know how you feel. Im overwhelmed at the moment. have two more subjects to finish for my cert 3 and I enrolled in AOU (Australian Open University) today, so im officially a uni student... its overwhelming. but ill post a topic about it, its complicated on how i get in it to start my bachelor. My appointment with the specialist about my surgery in a week as well. I hope your feeling better soon, ive been having days like this constantly. I feel for you lots of :hug: :hug:

 

I'm so sorry to hear you're disappointed with how the test went Codie :hug: I'm sure you'll do better than you expect!

 

Thanks, it is very frustrating I am angry at myself for it. I am over being in this much pain, painkillers arent helping. I have to see the doctor this afternoon and get them to sign and write on this form for it. then have to see the school principle who is a cow only word to discribe her its up to her if she sends it I hope she does. That is heaps good congrats lovely :hug: I hope it all goes well!!

Thanks Ihope so too.

 

I know how u feel. I hope all goes well for you.. and i know what you mean about those "cows" as we say you're right there is no other way to describe them. I wish you all the best and please let me know how u go with the doctor. Do they know what's wrong? or what caused it?
I'm in bed now on wireless.. i just need to rest, my legs and feet is sooooo painful too. Dont stress too much Im sure you've done better than you thought, cause I know the same thing has happened me. When i thought i failed and I actually passed and did pretty well. Thanks for the congratulations i was going to post a topic about it and an update about my feet and all that since so many lovely TS ladies asked me too in the Twinstuff Club. But our internet and phone provider had trouble with the connection in our area today. It shut off at 9am and we were lucky it get it back at 4pm and I was so annoyed cause I had a free day to research and complete alot of my assignments for tafe,but i couldnt do any. typical...

 

I have a new script to see if that will help also more painkillers, I had to wait from 2.30pm until after 6pm to see the doctor as it had to be the one I seen on the weekend. He filled out the form for me which I took into the school to be filled in and sent off the the board of studies. They think its just spazems but the pain is spreading along my back so I dont know, what caused it no idea since I woke up with it.
I am sorry that you are in such pain, and that you didnt get your work done I hope you get it done soon!! What are they on?
My laptop came back just before and so far it hasnt gotten hot or turned off so thats a good sign! I missed it :laughing: getting my hair trial done this afternoon for the formal NO idea how I want it, oh well. Signed out of school now I need to find myself structure.

 

Codie, I hope your back gets better and its nothing too serious. it sucks u had to wait so long to see the doctor. Please let me know how it goes okay?
I've worked all day on one of my assignments.. and its one of those days where u feel like u havent gotten very far with it. The assignments are on "Supporting the learning of students with Disabilities" thats a 3 section assignment. and then I have "Support the development of Numeracy Skills. and I have to make lesson plans, teach and report on it. YAY for the laptop.. thats so great Good luck with ur hair style. im sure you'll find something u love. I had no idea what i wanted for mine either. But i loved the end result

 

The new script has worked much better I can walk properly again which is good the pain isnt as bad!
Have you finished your assignment??
I found one which I love but shes going to cut my hair on wednesday so the curls sit better, dying my hair and putting foils in as its so plain to make it look nicer.

 

Thats great that the new script is helping it get better. I hope it all subsides soon 4 u
Yes!! I've finished my disability assignment.. 35 pages later. I still have my numeracy one to go. I have practical on Tuesdasy again with the school. So i should get that one done soon too. Thats awesome that you found a hair style you like. you'll have to send me a pic when its all done on you good luck with it. It sounds amazing.. you're wednesday is going to be much more exciting than mine. It will be speicalist time for me. So does this mean your almost finished school now? Our formal was about a month before we graduated.

Good luck on wednesday lovely please update.

I am done, graduated on the 2nd of October, the HSC is always after graduation here, and some schools formals are before graduation but ours is after the exams to celebrate the end

 

Thats good. I hope you take it soon... I'm the same, i sometimes try and forget about the pain cause I have so much else to worry about. But gradually it catches up with me and I cant take it anymore.. so i have to take the meds. Oh YEAH! the huge ones are great! lol.. no not so much, they're a pain lol. 1 more subject down for tafe. then im on to uni. Thanks, Ill update u as soon as I know, probably start a new thread in the Twinstuff Club, since so many over there asked me to keep them updated. I have a dentist yearly check up today.. great. Im hoping i dont need any fillings.. shouldnt though.. Well done on Graduating, thats great that you have it later on so you can enjoy it much more knowing that your done and dusted
