Cooking

[Kirkland Laing]

I've never cooked but I do do barbeque quite alot. I don't think barbeque really counts as cooking, does it? It's just something you do while you're drinking outside to give you something to eat when you're pissed. I learnt almost everything I know about barbeque cooking from some bloke called Meathead on the internet. He knows his shit.

You are putting flame and spice to dead delicious farm animal that would otherwise make you very ill or kill you. That's my friend is cooking. Key is to make the sides first with the bbq as the drink increases. We would get the point where it took too long to prepare them and just end up with a huge tray of meat on the table, and a napkin or two. A fookin massive and mixed bbq Caligula. You want sides? Pour more hot sauce or mustard to put on it, there's your side

Lyle made a good point about cooking, everybody should be able to cook my wife says I am
a good cook but I make a mess, come on it's not hard to cook.

You can only cook if you have the time though and when people start work early and come home late as many do, then you are just never going to have time. An hour long lunch break is enough time to go to the canteen and back to the desk and home after rush hour traffic means the last thing tired people want to do is cook. I don't blame some people for not having great cooking skills as they generally have skills in other places and have people cooking for them instead. I am a better cook than my wife, but it is only because I am less busy. Even on my busy days the best I can do is finish a 7 hour shift and heat up a tin of soup and slice up some bread. It is nothing to do with a lack of character, but is rather one of the symptoms of contemporary capitalism. Ideally people could stay home and cook and be with loved ones, but it's just not going to happen short of a revolution. I see union rights are next to go. Jump, jump, jump higher and fall a long way if you cannot keep up. Be thankful for a rasher of bacon, ye peasants.

That's a cop out Miles and lazy on your part. It doesn't take forever to cook from scratch. To follow some wankers recipe in a cook book yeah that takes a bit of time. Cooking regular food from scratch isn't a big deal and not something you need to spend hours on. Pull your finger out and stop eating tinned soup. It's packed with sugar.

That right there is why miles' posting reminds me of Akaky Akakievich the protagonist in Nikolai Gogol's "The Overcoat"/"The Cloak"








.......miles, I of course mean this not to poke fun of you, but just that is what you remind me of.

You know that buying a bottle of Smirnoff doesn't count as cooking, right? Even if you use Bitcoins.

You guys are missing the point. I don't work long hours whence I can cook. However, on my 2 busy days, I do not have the time. I drive 120km and work non-stop in between. You either make something quick or order a takeaway. My wife is very busy though. It just makes sense that I have learned more in the kitchen, it makes sense that eating out or delivery is so common for very busy people. 74% of UK mums work PT. They aren't all that busy. People who really work are busy. If a couple are both working hard as many here are then they will be less able in the kitchen. Their mother will be better as mother didnt slog it in the corporate world. Times are generally harder today and cooking ties into that. If you have the time to cook then society is typically more forgiving.
