The "What I'm Cooking" Thread

[MinisterJay]

Due to me being the current non-producer of the family, I do most of the cooking. I decided to make a thread for those of us that cook.

For lunch, today, I made some chicken broth for my wife. She is a bit, under the weather.

The primary meal is seasoned and bread crumbed boneless and skinless chicken thighs. I am also going to cook some rice and sweet peas. Still working on what to do for second veggie. I'll probably make an impulse decision on that. :)

Although I can cook, nowadays I don't. Since I'm living on my own, I don't see the point in cooking gourmet meals, but still eat healthily enough. My other half and I are apart at the moment (very sad, convoluted story), but we often share recipe ideas. And then when we are reunited, the kitchen isn't gonna know what hit it! LOL

I orchestrated a thanksgiving dinner for me and my friends this year, and I cooked 90% of the dishes on my own.

I made a pineapple glazed ham, a turkey breast with butter and spices, candied yams, and several store-bought dishes.
It was a ton of work and took me 4 hours of constant cooking by myself, but it was fun when people started arriving and cooking things with me.

None of the food got messed up either.

I haven't cooked anything special since. Just a ton of burritos. :P

I won't start on the main courses until Christmas Eve, but I've been doing all of my pre-Christmas baking.

Spoiler

The gingerbread men won't be done until tomorrow, and I've got another batch of snickerdoodles to make, but I'm getting there!

Oooooooooh. Can I have one?

I'm terrible at baking. I always burn the bottom.

Just one? I'll have made about 15 dozen cookies by tomorrow - you can have plenty more!

I used to have that problem - in my case it turned out that I had to reduce my baking times, because the cookie sheet was darker than regular ones. Strange stuff.

One is enough for me.

I don't bake too often, so I don't really get to experiment and try to solve anything.
