Why am I not surprised?
Maybe he should bring some to the Sugarloaf AZ Summit?

Atleast a Lax thread is better than en exlax thread
Absolutely true!
BTW, for those who do like to bake (and cook), the following blogs have been quite inspirational to me:

I don't know if it technically counts as baking, but my wife made 2 pumpkin pies on Sunday.
Delicious.
Delicious.

I'm pretty sure baking pies qualifies as baking. No "technically" needed.

Well if you put it that way.
I threw in the "technically" because I associate "baking" with rising, like with bread or a cake.

I consider any food that is prepared by heating in the oven to be baking. Stove top is cooking (which I don't like).

What about roasting? You don't bake a potroast, do you? But you can bake a ham. and where does braising fall?
I'm so confused now...
Maybe dry indirect heat = baking
dry direct heat = broiling
moist indirect heat = braising/roasting
What other inane subjects can I over analyze this morning?

:lol: I just adjust the meaning to suit me. Baked ziti and baked mac & cheese are okay--they qualify because I actually like making them. But I don't roast meats. Pot roast is about as close as I get and that's in the crock pot. Any other meat is usually prepared on the grill.
Baking and roasting are pretty much the same thing. It's more the product being baked...er roasted. Damn now I'm confused.
Braising=a combo method-usually starting with high dry heat and finished with slow moist heat. Stewing would generally just be slow moist heat. Good beef stew is technically a braise not a stew. Good pot roast is a braise not a roast. mmmpot roast.....

No saute?
I actually don't mind steaks done oven on hi broil. Not charcoal but good enough for when I don't feel motivated.
I knead to make that recipe you floated in here. Maybe tomorrow

I really don't like to cook. I tried to do some stir frying and even chicken fajitas recently, but I just don't enjoy it. I don't even prepare meat all that often--not that I don't like it, just don't feel creative about cooking it and it gets boring making the same things all the time.

you and the kids can only eat franks and beans for so many days, Sev........
uke: I don't think our kids have ever had franks and beans... They'll live off of chicken nuggets and tater tots (baked off course) if we let them though.

uke: I actually don't cook many nights because of school. B feeds the kids and I grab a Luna bar or something. But when I do, it's not franks and beans. :lol:
