Welcome to Gaia! ::

hm.. interesting. I still love my Spagetti. (did I spell that right?? gonk )

ground beef
two cans of tomato sauce
one can of tomato paste
seven to eight shakes Chili powder
Garlic powder
two pinches of Oregino (I can't spell)
one tomato can of water
and any type of noodles you want
(sorry I don't know exact measurments, I usualy keep mu eyes on it and know my instinct when its enough)

First cook Ground beef intill cooked all the way through. Then drain thje grease from the pan and add the tomato sauce and tomato paste. After you stir alittle you add the spices. boil noodle water. stir and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes. while simmering stir and add noodles to boiling water. (makes sure it boils) When your sauce is done I'd take alittle taste test to make sure.

I luv to eat this. Mix cool whip and NesQuik together. Afther that, put it on top of chocolate pudding. It's so good!

I love cool whip on just about everything! blaugh

I guess I'm simple. Well, maybe not as simple as SOME of you, but I don't need a seared lamb shank rubed with thyme every day.

Basic Risotto (soo goood biggrin )

6 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion (though white works fine)
2 cups Arborio rice
1 cup dry white wine, at room temperature
1-2 tablespoons unsalted butter
salt and pepper to taste.

In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the stock to a gentle simmer and maintain over medium heat.

In a large, heavy saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, and sauté until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the rice, and stir until each grain is coated in oil and translucent with a white dot in the center about 3 minute. Add the wine and stir until it is completely absorbed.

Add the stock ladleful by ladleful, stirring continuously after each addition. Don't add the next ladleful until after the stock has almost completely been absorbed. Make sure it is never dry. Keep 1/4 cup stock to add at the end.

When the rice is almost tender on the outside, and firm on the inside, and looks creamy, after about 20 minutes, take the rice off the heat and stir in butter to taste. Season it with salt and pepper, serving immediately for best results.

Now if you read that, and know what risotto is, then I bet you're asking "Where's the cheese?" This risotto is so creamy it doesn't need cheese, so don't add it in!

ONE LAST THING I SWEAR!!! The main flavor is butter, so make sure its not only unsalted, but the best you've got.

Fried bologna sandwiches, YUM

I love peanut butter. K laughs at me all the time about it. Though I think I eat it in moderation (about a jar every two weeks). Too bad they don't make the crunchy in the big jars.

Oh, but I'm also picky about it too. It basically has to be Peter Pan. I tried the off brand at my MIL house. It didn't even taste like the same food. I almost didn't get the first bite down. I kind of looked around to see that nobody was looking and wrapped it up and threw it out. Nasty. Oh, and I don't really like jelly either. I just like peanut butter on whole wheat bread... yum. Sometimes I put on bananas and honey for a nice bit of sweetness to it.
