Cooking for your loved ones

[Shaul]

Do you cook?

For myself I enjoy cooking. I may not be the world's greatest cook, but my family hasn't complained yet. I have found that the ladies like it if you cook for them. So, that seems like reason enough to cook for them. It is also a fun fact that no husband was ever murdered while cooking. At least I think that is a fact. It certainly can't hurt.

Some things I enjoy cooking are; home made enchiladas, cholent( Cholent - Wikipedia ), matzo brei( Matzo Brei | Recipe ), and home made potato salad. Plus a bunch of others.

I love cooking for those I care for! It can be hard with a house full of picky eaters, but I try my best...

The family favorite seems to be matar paneer. Pasta dishes often go over well, too. On Sundays, my friend comes over, and we bake a cake together, each week from a different country(we're going in alphabetical order, and are in the Cs currently).

I cook most of the meals twice. We have a vegetarian amongst us so anything with meat is also made meat free.

Husband will cook chilli or spaghetti bolognese. And he is a dab hand at driving the bbq. That probably takes care of one meal a fortnight.

One or more of the children will someone prepare something, perhaps once a week.

The rest is down to me, except once a month when we go out for a meal

That's so sweet you make the meals twice... I went vegetarian at 12, and Mom informed me I'd be cooking for myself from then on.

Looking back, it was a blessing in disguise(I really enjoyed cooking/baking).

Do you cook?

Yes, I do, but then my family usually runs for cover.

I love making soups of various types, especially those based on a coconut curry broth. I love and make potato soup fairly regularly, but my Sicilian wife is lactose intolerant with also an allergy to milk protein as well. I love rice but my wife doesn't. I make salads of all sorts, and some of those she will eat-- but not all.

Are you picking up a pattern here?

When I was a teenager I started doing most of the family cooking because everyone else was busy with work.

Psst, order take out, put enough in some pans to make it look good, hide the containers, take the credit.

Got it!

BTW, for dinner today we have leftover Middle Eastern food from a restaurant that we went to yesterday, the cuisine of which I really like in general. When we've been in Israel, that's usually where I prefer to go most of the time, although some of the best pizza I ever have had is there that even my wife really likes better than most of the pizza we have had in Italia.

The one thing I can't get outside of Israel is a really good sachlev ham! ( Israeli Food: Sachlav ) I can't resist that stuff! It is ambrosia but the sugar is bad for me. Love the olives and cheeses there too. Now I want to go back!

We share the cooking. We both enjoy it and have similar tastes (thankfully).

What do you cook for your loved ones?

I prepare all the meals because my wife hates cooking, she does all the cleaning up. I don't love it but I also don't mind, it's like mowing the lawn... something that has to be done. Her favourite meal that I cook for her on special occasions is eggs benedict. Other favs include spaghetti sauce and a few different types of Mexican.

I never had it but would probably like it as I like all the ingredients. Yes, the olives & cheeses are very good, and we have lotsa olives as my wife is from Sicily and there's a Sicilian market walking distance from our home.

My favorite place in Jerusalem was a Middle Eastern restaurant in the Muslem Quarter of the Old City, and in Tel Aviv it was "Milk & Honey" on the waterfront.

I enjoy cooking. I do most of it at home. Not fine-dining but I can make a dozen-or-so meals pretty well. Vegetarian versions of things I liked when I was a meat-eater, mostly.
