It's good to learn basic cooking, at least.
For instance, cooking pasta (just boiling water), cooking chicken in the oven with seasoning, and rice too.
Then you are all set.

That's how I learnt....after learning the basics, you can vary the way you make your dish based on the ingredients you use to flavor it...and Presto! you've made your most delicious dish...lol...

"Our Geeks' Lounge forum is the place to chat about anything. Have fun and relax in this forum."
I copied this from the forum instructions...so, I guess this thread can be allowed...since it could be considered as 'anything'...

I was a cook for many years and I used to make this for customers in various restaurants I worked at over the years.
It's called Joe's Special and while it is usually thought of as a breakfast meal, what we eat and when is subjectively a cultural thing.

Take a quantity of hamburger about 1/2 lb per. per. and get it frying.
Toss in some chopped onions, mushrooms and a good handful of fresh spinach. Just before the meat is completely cooked crack 2 eggs into the mix and cook until scrambled. I like my Joe's Special with a slice of Swiss, (Emmental or Gruyère) cheese melted over the top.
Serve with coffee, fried potatoes and toast if breakfast or garlic mashed potatoes (see below) and hard crust Italian garlic bread and a good red wine if supper.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes;

Wash well and cut 1 potatoe per per into cubes and get boiling. DO NOT SKIN POTATOES!!!
Roast 1, 2 or 3 whole garlic bulbs. (More if you're like me and addicted to garlic.)

The idea is to get the potatoes soft enough to smash without them becoming mushy.
Drain the mix and put the pot back onto the fire for a few more minuets. just enough to let the excess moisture steam away. Remove the pot from the heat when this has been accomplished.

Now toss in 2 tablespoons of butter per potato and crush the garlic out of it's skin into the potatoes. Mashed potatoes are one of those foods that are subject to the whims to the cook so whip them the way you like, add some cream if you want them really whipped and fluffy or mash them enough to get the garlic well distributed and the butter melted. (This is how I like them.)
Some times if you want try chopping parsley fine and sprinkle over the mashed or try cilantro to give a slight Latin flavor. I wouldn't recommend bake-o-bits or sour cream fro this dish. It just seems to be too much going on.

Enjoy!!!

Weight Watchers Zero Points Garden Vegetable Soup ♥ . Good thing about that receipe is that you can put whatever you want in it and the soup will be just great. I used green beans instead of peas, increased stalk to 8 cups (because that's how much comes in the packages I bought), added celery, pepper, and for added spice some sliced jalapeno peppers/juice.

This makes a lot of soup, probably enough for at least 6 people, or enough to last one person 3 means/day for a week
