B1gM1k3 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Well, my first venture was a complete and utter failure... I didnt use enough chicken broth to cover the rice enough so it was crunch on top and soggy on the bottom... That sewks bews... But it looked good as hell lol!. Pics posting soon.

B1gM1k3 Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 So tonight, its spaghetti bolonese with a mozarella, basil and tomato appetiser. White wine to whet the appetite and an italian ice that i've made myself. Probably not as good as that in Europe but i'll give it a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1gM1k3 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 I like the mozarella so much I am now growing a basil plant in my back yard... I also planted three different types of tomatoes so I can enjoy the mozarella, basil and tomatoe appetizer I made. It was a good night at the B1gM1k3 house that night... Tonight I plan on making a German dish called Eierkuchen. It a sweet dish like pancaked that my German wife has not had the opportunity to have since we left Germany four years ago. Looking for another good night tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizbang Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I can't believe I've missed this topic. Stuff you're making sounds great. Btw I actually own a Paella pan. It's 14 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beedub Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Big Mike, I am a bit of an amateur chef too, I would love to see what your dishes turn out like and the recipes for them. Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Cooking and baking is my drug. Your dishes sound amazing. What type of basil are you growing? As well what type of tomatoes are you growing? I plant a garden every year, but the past two years, this one included, damn critters are getting to the plants and eating them before they have the opportunity to grow larger. They haven't touched the strawberries yet or any of the herbs (with the exception of parsley). I like Beedub would love to see your dishes and maybe we can help you out with them as well.

rolf Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 You're remembering me of my 40 days vegetarian strike with awesome cooking skills. In the first 3 weeks, where I was alone at home, I cooked over 2 weeks for myself (other days I was out to dinner, by friends, etc, but still vegeterian ). I also kept a forumblog as process (not here tho...), really enjoyable Cooking will become a lot easier if you practice enough. And don't try only easy recipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
