This is a semi-manly thread for men who cook. Grrrrr. Hello semi-men!

[matcom]

bonuses will be handed out if you own a kitchen aid mixer and/or commute (on non-hurricane days) via scooter.

substitutes will be given if you watch the Food Network, HGTV and aren't afraid to seriously consider the 'right' window treatments.

:D

GGGGRRRRRRRRRRR.

:hide:

[ComerPerro]

1. Fine. I confess.

I watch HGTV with my girlfriend, and will probably watch Gilmore Girls with hear tonight instead of the first hour of the World Series.

How sad is that?

And my team is even in it!!!!

[matcom]

3. your team is in it???

ok. sorry. you don't count :P

[ComerPerro]

[hfojvt]

73. does baking cookies and boiling water count?

I can also warm up a pizza.

[no name no slogan]

5. meow

I don't know a damn thing about cars. I even pay to have somebody change my oil. And I don't give a rats ass about baseball OR football, for the most part (hockey, OTOH...)

And because I live in a place with five months of winter, I commute by bus.

[KittyWampus]

6. Nothing Sexier Or More Desirable Than A Man Who Can Cook AND

Matcom is funny like a clown!

[KittyWampus]

27. Prize? Are you single? Over 30?

[khashka]

And the prize is totally negotiable....


Khash.

[LeftyMom]

9. Men who cook are hot!

How the hell else am I supposed to get breakfast after? ;)

[HughBeaumont]

11. I can make a mean Chicken Marsala

and Frutti di Mare . ..

Eeccccch, I'm going back to the Man thread with my rusty knife . . .

[underpants]

12. Egg sammichs and cheese bread

I am a good cook.

[Lavender Brown]

13. There's nothing "semi" about men who cook!

:)

[LaraMN]

14. I hear that's called an "ubersexual."

"Übersexual is a neologism for a conception of manhood. It is similar to a metrosexual in that the male is "refined", but contains more of an implication of confidence and traditional notions of manhood than the former term."

Apparently, we hadn't labeled EVERYTHING, yet!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubersexual

[nutsnberries]

43. ok,,,, i find ubersexuals and the word *ubersexual* very HOT !

:loveya:

[LaraMN]

44. I would have to concur.

Ubersexuals, as defined, are a delicious breed of manhood.

[nutsnberries]

45. super HOT tamale HOT!

yeah baby, YEAH!

:evilgrin:

[KG]

15. well, i cook only because i'd starve other wise. but.

i do own a lot of shoes, but none of them are italian loafers.

[In_The_Wind]

16. yea! matcom

Commuting in wet weather hurts ...

I'm glad you didn't try it.

[swimboy]

19. I made this sweet-potato casserole.

And no scooter, but I ride my bike to work.

On edit: I made it with my Kichen-Aid mixer! B-)

[Taverner]

21. Said it once I gotta freakin say it again

Nothing screams MAN more than MEAT and FIRE.

How could cooking be un-manly???

[matcom]

22. i'm looking for a good recipe for...

puff-pastry

got one? :D

[Taverner]

30. MMmmmmmm FIRE!!

FIRE GOOD! PASTRIES NEED FIRE!!!!!

FIRE...ADDD MEAT....ADD PASTRIES....ADD MEAT....ADD FIRE

[northzax]

102. technically, it's meat on a stick and fire

you can't forget the stick.

[kwassa]

23. This semi-man has been trying new eggplant recipes

Made an eggplant curry last week that would knock your socks off, if you wear socks. Did more a chinese eggplant thing this week.

Caponata: I make the best

Black beans and mexican veggies.

Chicken, potatoes, rosemary, vermouth. Deeee-lish.

and roast meats with the best o'them.

[nutsnberries]

42. mmmm - i'm hungry!

:9

[billyskank]

25. I cook really good curries

I do own a blender but hardly ever use it.

[Puglover]

26. Ummm I watch "Iron Chef" in bed

before I sleep every night on my TIVO and I have "Cooks Illustrated" recipe of Beef Burgundy in the oven right now.
B-)

[flvegan]

28. I love to cook. I do 100% of the cooking and meal planning in my house.

I also do all the feeding of the animals, though there's much less cooking involved.

AND, I look DEVASTATING in an apron.

[matcom]

29. as good as THIS?

[flvegan]

32. Some would argue

that I do, though I prefer my buttless chaps and bowtie under my apron. The French maid thing is like, so, 1995.

[LeftyMom]

33. Hon, you don't need anything under the apron.

Just make my waffles and get back to bed!

[flvegan]

34. woo hoo!

Kiss the cook, baby!

[LeftyMom]

35. It's a start.

:evilgrin: Once you've plied me with toaster waffles (I like the hemp and flax ones) I can't resist.

[flvegan]

61. Do I really need waffles?

Can you be otherwise plied?

[LeftyMom]

62. by you? yes

All others bring waffles. And real syrup, whipped earth balance and a glass of orange juice.

edit: fresh squeezed orange juice, slackers!

[flvegan]

65. I'll bring those last three

but not for the waffles...

[LeftyMom]

66. What have you got against waffles?

I could settle for pancakes, but I shouldn't have to.

[flvegan]

76. I was thinking a nice veg French toast

or is that still Freedom Toast?

Whatever. Whatever syrup, whip, etc is left over, we'll just have to improvise so it doesn't go to waste.

[LeftyMom]

77. French toast'd work

I like a little cinnamon in the batter and a touch of nutmeg in the winter. :)

[AussieDave]

67. Should I be filming this

either for the lawsuit or the porn movie ???

[LeftyMom]

68. "Pasty Vegan Chick Eats Breakfast- vol 1"

Oh yeah, that'd be a big seller. :eyes:

[AussieDave]

69. Watch flvegan change that to "Tasty Vegan Chick Eats Breakfast- vol 1"

[LeftyMom]

70. He woudn't know how tasty I am yet

:cry:

[AussieDave]

71. "yet" ??

(switches camera to "Porn" setting)

Ready for your close-up ??

[LeftyMom]

72. Yet.

:evilgrin:

[flvegan]

75. Just make sure the oral dialogue

mixes in right.

Oh, and do try to get my good side...whichever the hell one that is.

[AussieDave]

87. There has to be dialogue ?? Oral or otherwise??

What the hell is oral dialogue ??

And you don't have to worry about a "good side" - mirrors will be involved.

[flvegan]

97. Honestly...

just wanted to work the word "oral" in there.

I'll need makeup, too. And airbrushing!

[AussieDave]

99. Airbrushing - I hope you're not ticklish

[flvegan]

74. "Tasty Vegan Chick Is Breakfast - Vo. 1"

[LeftyMom]

78. .

:rofl: :blush:

[flvegan]

79. Let's not forget

I'm a gym rat. I do 5 or 6 meals a day...

[LeftyMom]

80. .

I just don't know what to say. :D

[flvegan]

81. Say that

you've been taking your vitamins, and you're ready to be part of 5 to 6 "meals" a day.

Oh, yes...I went there...

[LeftyMom]

82. is it January yet?

:cry:

[flvegan]

85. Nope. Soon, though.

[LeftyMom]

86. Yay!

:D

[AussieDave]

88. Imagine the sequels - especially for those who "graze"

Am I starting a genre called Vegan Porn ???

[LeftyMom]

90. That's already a website

There's a vegan erotica too. We're a small but horny population!

[AussieDave]

93. I would never have guessed

:eyes:

[flvegan]

92. Nope. Google vegan porn, see what you get.

However, yes, sequels...and then of course, the compilations after it has run it's course.

Grazing...oh...oh, boy. Not going to go anywhere near that one.

[AussieDave]

95. Why - you were just getting ready to earlier

:rofl:

And I'll do the Googling when I get home - they frown on that sort of thing at work.....

[flvegan]

96. I have to think of my "not pissing the mods/admin off" status here

So, I try to stay away from direct violations of DU rules.

I know...I'm a wuss.

[AussieDave]

100. That's OK - the ice you're skating on doesn't seem to be that thin anyway

:yoiks:

[GOPisEvil]

41. That is pure sex appeal, baby.

:P

[jpgray]

36. I own a kitchen aid mixer AND a mortar and pestle

And the mortar doesn't do manly things like fire projectiles at high velocity either. At least not very well. There may be a gob of pesto somewhere behind my stove or something like that. :P

[matcom]

37. 1000 extra points for YOU

currently, you are the SECOND semi-manliest man in this thread.

sorry, you don't own a scooter and your baking skills are STILL in question :P

[SOteric]

38. Where's the thread for men who can cook, -

AND drive a tank? :bounce:

[matcom]

39. in my pants

:D

:*

[DS1]

84. *pfft*

I can drive a tank on land AND in the water - you're missing out on 70% of the PLANET!

AND... I can cook with safety knives :D

[GOPisEvil]

40. I watch FoodTV and I cook, do my own laundry, and clean house!

So there! :P

[matcom]

46. you don't have a job

i'm not terribly impressed

[GOPisEvil]

48. Oh sure...emphasize the negative.

God, of all the photoshops, that one scares me the most. :scared:

[matcom]

50. photoshop?

whatever are you talking about? :P

[GOPisEvil]

51. Dude, my ass hasn't been that skinny...ever.

:P

[Bombero1956]

47. I do cook

Learned from my Mom. I can cook traditional Puerto Rican dishes like

Arroz blanco con habichuelas y pollo guisado-white rice with beans and chicken

Pollo frito con tostones- fried chicken with fried plantains

Pasteles- Puerto Rican style tamales

Lechón- cooked pig

I don't have the mixer, but I have a Pilón. Growing up in a family with 3 boys and no girls our mother insisted that we be self sufficient.

[Rabrrrrrr]

49. Mixers are for girly men.

Manual for me, baby.


Fuckin' mixers. Sheesh.

[matcom]

52. your STILL dead

stop posting x(

[Rabrrrrrr]

54. I am not dead! That was in the future.

It hasn't happened yet, not in this timeline.

[matcom]

55. the future is NOW

embrace it.


with GUSTO!

[Rabrrrrrr]

57. Yes, that may very well be, but the particular future we are

discussing is not yet now. It will not be now for another 30,000 years.

[matcom]

58. fancy talk

from a corpse :eyes:

[sundog]

53. resisting the urge to copycat this thread

i'm seeing all sorts of dirty things :(

[matcom]

56. wuss

:P

[Lethe]

59. cooked a gourmet pizza today from scratch, yum!

spinach, mozzarella, fresh basil, feta cheese, sun dried tomatoes on a hand tossed pizza pie.....mmmm tasty!

Iron Chef is a must around here. Especially the late night Japanese re-runs.

I recently did my bedroom walls in a triple tone faux finish and coordinated an area rug with it. There's nothing un-manly about having style!

:toast:

[evlbstrd]

60. In good weather, grilling and smoking fine stuff.

Otherwise, I bought good cookware, have created a few recipes, and, yes, I watch HGTV and Food.
I put down the toilet seat when I'm done, too.

[RetroLounge]

63. I can cook and use small kitchen appliances

and I just helped a friend hang her curtain rods and curtains.

Am I still Semi- ?

RL

[AussieDave]

64. I cook, but don't have anywhere near enough appliances

but I don't do the decorating thing - I wouldn't know fashion if it walked up and slapped me......

[SeattleGirl]

83. My husband cooks, owns a Kitchen Aid Mixer

(plus a lot of other appliances), watches Food Network, but there's nothing "semi" about him! He's a fabulous cook and I am the envy of my girlfriends whose husbands/SO's don't cook! I do all the barbequing -- does that make me a "semi-woman"?

:evilgrin:

[Elidor]

89. I sautee vegetables with a flamethrower & I ride a Big Wheel to work

Am I not a semi-manly man?

[mtnester]

91. Paging Husb2Sparkly

REGULAR poster in the foodie forum. Knows his crackers!

[EstimatedProphet]

94. I resemble that remark

I watch the Food Network on occasion, but I'd rather come up with my own recipes.

[HEyHEY]

98. Who wants din dins!

[northzax]

101. kitchen aid? screw that

Viking baby:
