I used to love to cook meals.....now i just don't have the time with the kids and job, etc to cook a from scratch meal and get it on the table before 7 pm????? I still do a bit more on weekends sometimes, but not like I used to.....
Maybe when the kids grow up and move on???? I'm sure hubby wouldn't mind a few more dinners with some "thought" put into them instead of the "quickies" I put on the table now!

I hear ya. hen I know Im gonna be busy and all but I know its about time to feed the stray and all, well...crock pot.
I do speggai sauce in there, (not with noodles in it), pot roast and Im loved when I do a slow oven roast beef-200 all night long -or all day long then just mash tates and green beans. but its also casue he is single and this is the only cooked food he gets.
I like rachel ray and the naked s=chef but I dont have cable so I dont watch them as much. (i watch on the net)
Speaking of Rachael Ray- We watched her make the Garlic roast chicken with rosemary and lemon the other day. I get hungry just watching her cook. Well we had it last night and it was marvie. Didn't have any pesto so we will have to wait on the smashed potatoes.
You have to scrub the tiles first. If it is pourous like traventine, becareful what you use. If it is the shiny stuff: After it is clean, dry it really good. Use car wax, I know that sounds weird but it works. Let the car wax dry and buff it out. The soap and water will run off and not collect, causing that white yicky stuff to appear. It works really good on the glass shower door also.
It also helps to wipe down the shower after you use it. Or better yet, get a squeegie.

Rachel Ray's show is a good one, I enjoy it as well. Alton Brown's show is great, too. Cooking is not only a hobby for me, it's a career and a passion.
And while the pesto smashed potatoes would have been delicious, you can add almost anything to them to make them taste good. Sometimes I'll roast garlic or just add sour cream or herbs and whatever cheese I have on hand.

cooking... me too. I also collect cookbooks and recipies. All of my kids can cook and they cook well. It is a lot easier when you have the $ to buy the correct stuff too, and dont have to constantly scrimp or use inferior or substitued stuff.
speaking of which... I'm going to be cleaning out my freezer.. is there any way to salvage meet that has been freezer burned?
I can sympathize, completely. I know what I like... and half the time I dont even know the brand or name etc... I just see something and know that I like it. I fell for this georgous black car... turned out to be a jag. another time it was a 2 seater t-bird.
motorcycle riding is another.
photography....
landscaping..
stained glass....
traveling....
hmmm anyone know a really rich dude looking for a down to earth gal who is never bored????
I love cooking, too....but I wouldn't exactly call it a 'hobby'. I HATE following recipes, so I usually forge ahead on my own. So far, my 'specialties' are:
Grilled salmon salad
Chicken Alfredo w/wine sauce
Grilled pork tenderloin
