My SO is a good cook but I enjoy cooking so much that I generally own the kitchen around 5 days a week. She cooks the Filipino dishes usually, sometimes I cook them with a twist, like adding herbs and such but then her son doesn't like them! So I usually cook non Filipino food, pasta with various sauces, Indian curries, stews, western style fried chicken etc. When we have pork we only use fillet, great in Thai curries with those small egg shaped eggplant. We eat fish maybe 3 times a week, either steamed with salad or curried. I like curry!! Breakfast tends to be toast or eggs and a couple of pots of coffee. Sometimes lunch is a sandwich, tuna and cucumber and egg mayo go down well. We both eat lots of vegetables and fruit and I drink lots of tea! All in all we have a good varied diet that we both enjoy, except she does not like her food as spicy as me!

Jack, Don't be too hard on her regarding the eggs. they are very difficult to get right. I like mine soft but not undercooked. Robert, tried Chowking once, that was enough, but donuts, well that is different.

One time on our ship, for a few months, almost the entire kitchen crew was Filipino.  Not one of them knew how to cook rice without a rice cooker ha ha.  You know we gave them hell about that...

I never heard of making hard boiled eggs in a rice cooker but my wife said they did all the time - before.  Before me I guess? I want to try it.   :tiphat:

Judy cooks excellent Batangas style cuisine with lots of fresh vegetables with fish or pork to make a thick broth soup. But when it comes to western style food, she murders it.  Take the famous Filipino style spaghetti with sliced hotdogs and ketchup.  Yum, yum......especially when I'm drunk and hungry.  I'll eat that cold.....he, he. 

And oh by the way, Judy still use the smoke detector for her timer.  Gotta lub them Filipinas!

Only try it if you like rock hard eggs - similar to the ones you get from 7/11.. ?

I believe that drinking before and during and after a meal greatly affects the taste of the food. A cocktail before wine during and a fortified coffee after works well for me, also by following Pa's sage advice I have very clean feet.

Surprisingly my wife makes a very good pot of spaghetti.  Well she can.  What she actually does is pull some sauce for me, then proceeds to ruin the rest of it with canned meat, hotdogs, and sugar, but what she pulls out for me is really quite good!   ha ha.   :tiphat:
