So Sick of Making Dinner

[TooFarTampa]

If you are bored and need a change, please come down to my house and cook.

Seriously, if this kind of thing happens to Punzy, is there hope for any of us?

If you like pasta, my wife takes a bottle of Ragu, adds some spices and then adds browned ground meat. Takes about 1/2 hour and it is grayt. Very easy also and if you want you can add grilled chicken slices also.

Punzy, head up to PA for the April primary and we'll do some cooking or I'll cook for you.

She will not do it. ... She refuses to feed my inner redneck.

RUN OTTER! RUN!!

I'm useless on this thread. The best thing I make for dinner is reservations.
I read cook books the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and think....Well, thats just not going to happen.

I did make Hamburger Helper Beef Stroganoff one night, to try to prove a point. I forget what the point was...but I get a box of HH and some hamburger meat and think, "This will teach him a lesson." So, I get home and look at the package and think, hmmm...I'll just mince a little onion and garlic to brighten it up...saute that then add the hamburger. Then I deglaze the pan with a little red wine. Toss in a sprig of fresh thyme as it simmers. Throw a little Plugra on the the noodles, sprinkle with sea salt and fresh ground pepper...Voila! Punishment!

The thing is, to me cooking is more of a chore if it's not interesting. I'd much rather do a cooking project that spaghetti. It's the boring weeknight dinners that kill me.

I need a Spanish or Caribbean cookbook. Anyone have any good suggestions in that arena?

The Williams-Sonoma Barcelona cookbook is very good. Nicely laid out and gorgeous photos. I've liked all the recipes I've made from it. (Their Paris cookbook is similarly excellent as well.)
