I know that there are some stellar cooks out there...why not show/tell us your genius at work? I'll go first.

My favorite on a cold morning (use mits when removing from toaster):

 

[Rambling Rose]

LMAO! Honeychile, that toaster oven has seen better days.

I make a mean bowl of ramen with hot pepper flakes and snowpeas.

Cheese toast is another specialty.

And frozen Cool Whip and graham cracker sammiches.

I like to use garden fresh carrots for this one:

Sounds yummy to me.

My only culinary secret is

with Cheese - More is better.
Same with Garlic.

My motto:

Now I'm getting hungry.....
Heavily buttered toast, with garlic and melted sharp cheddar cheese.

That carrot in a jug is lookin' more than vaguely sexual. I'm thinking some unexpectedly lewd thoughts on this culinary thread.

Well, I never!

Anyway, another tip for good cooking:

Fat, fat, and more fat!

This is so true.

Ever notice on the cooking shows, the chefs always add a dab of butter to sauces at the end? *perk*

My tips are:
Things usually taste better if you brown them in a pan on the stove before sticking them in the oven to bake.
And cast iron pans rock.

Ain't nothin' bad about butter, baby!

or biscuits!

Mmm mm good

I think the picture speaks for itself:

If you run out of butter, Crisco will do.

 

[Rambling Rose]

Oh shit, that picture is great!

No, Olivianna - I was Blushing Rose here for a long time and it no longer suited me. I picked that nick as a slightly sarcastic, metaphorical reference to my own petite fleur. Ahem.

When I continued to get pm's asking what one could do to elicit a blush from me and my posts became saltier, the 'blushing' moniker seemed a little off so I asked Laurel to change it to something that would still be recognizable as me but more appropriate. There turns out to be a film with Laura Dern by the same name. I saw it recently and it was very good!

My favorite beverage to serve late-night guests:

Everything tastes better when the people eating the food don't see it cooking...

My mom taught me how to make these scrumptious "spiky meatballs" when I was little.
