Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I like to eat. I like to cook.
Most everything is cooked from scratch. Except for baking (rarely), I don't use recipes. Cooking at the Pook house is about an 80/20 split. Guess who does the 80%.

I learned to cook young. Always had eclectic tastes. Then I was vegetarian for years, really learned spices. I'm no 5 star chef, but I can make anything. I don't make cupcakes though, never will.
Eta: I carnivore now.
I cook more than she does.
Cooking as a skill is something on the to-do list. I can follow a recipe. I don't have the natural skill/talent/intuition/whatever to make something out of nothing (my little brother does though). My wife can do that and is a good cook. She has never been successful at baking (according to her) until more recently. I can make a good omelette though.
I am confident that I can become a decent cook with practice. It is just a matter of taking the time to do so. I figure I will start when I start canning, as you have to make whatever first. At some point, I'd like to pick up The Flavor Bible (http://www.amazon.com/The-Flavor-Bib...e+flavor+bible) or The Flavor Thesaurus (http://www.amazon.com/The-Flavor-The...e+flavor+bible), as I do not know what flavors go with what.
Also, I've been watching the Fresh Princess Channel (Wranglerstar's Sister!) and would like to try some of her recipes. I've made cheese from scratch about 4-5 times, and bread once.

Cooking? I has it.

I cook and bake. Definitely a cook, not a chef. I enjoy it quite a bit, actually. In most things, I follow the Alton Brown method.

Wife loves to cook so I let her. If she needs a night off I will cook.
I can cook, and average 25% of the meals in our home. Holidays.... Im all about turkey so I handle Big Bird from prep to serving.

It's a measure of the civility in this country that no ones seems to fear constantly pissing off the people who own lots of guns.
You, my friend, are awesome
