food - eating/cooking - share recipies?
i love to eat. you wouldn't know it due to the fact that i don't actually eat that much or that often, but when i do, i usually only eat the things i love.
mexican is by far my favorite type of food, followed closely by italian and various vegetarian dishes.
i think that american food is probably my least favorite....i blame my mother's horrible cooking for that. i find that funny actually...that my mother was horrible at cooking, but lately i've been trying it out more and more and i'm actually pretty decent at it. i follow recipes to a point, and then expand on them...a bit more time and maybe i can just create something from scratch?
anyway, what are some of your favorite dishes? do you cook? share some of your favorite recipies. i want to make more food!

If you like to try other kitchens, I'd recommend you to Turkish Kitchen which includes various, rich and delicious foods and desserts. They all are hard to cook but If you let them have a go, it's just worth it. And here is a site that I just found a few days ago, full of Turkish food recipes that might help you.

My favorite here is Meyhane Pilavi - Pilaf with Beef Cubes and Onion (Meyhane means tavern but it is not relevant to food, just a name.)

Man we made shis kabobs on the 3rd, they wer awesome on a charcoal grill! Best meal ive had in a while.
shrimp, green peppers, chicken, steak, mini potatoes, and mushrooms, we should have had pineapple on there too.
Then the sause over it was honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, olive oil, and a citrus seasoning spice that I use all combine. rub that on the kabobs a couple times while they are cooking and youre good to go.
Also had corn on the cob with it. Rock on!

I'm a fairly decent cook. My cooking tastes pretty good, and I've never had any complaints.
My favorite summer dish is a tomato & cucumber salad.
1 ripened tomato
1/2 of a cucumber
1 clove of garlic
Extra virgin olive oil
Vinegar
Salt & pepper
Fresh basil leaves
Cut tomato & cucumber into little cubes. Try to have a fairly even ratio of tomato to cucumber.
Use a garlic press to crush the garlic. If you don't have a garlic press, chop the garlic as finely as possible.
Mix together in a shallow dish.
Add olive oil & vinegar. Be very careful to not add TOO much vinegar.
A couple of tablespoons worth should be good.
Season with salt & pepper to your liking.
Mix everything together.
Finally tear apart two or three large basil leaves and sprinkle on top.
Delicious.
