Cook

What’s your favorite thing to cook? – An interesting question from the daily writing prompt.

I have to slip into a different mindset here because I’m usually thinking of my favorite thing to eat. This is really an easy question because I like to grill.

I like cooking burgers and steaks but doing seafood on the grill is a lot of fun. Salmon, scallops, shrimp are a few I do. I’m going to try some lobster tails this year and maybe some stuffed rockfish.

I do like making that pasta dish with grilled peppers, mushrooms, onions, prosciutto and various spices in a light sauce.

Oh, this seems so simple I almost overlooked it. I love to cook bacon because I can’t wait to get a nice crisp warm piece first thing in the morning. I think I’ll make some in an hour or two.

Grill it

What is my favorite thing to cook ask the writing prompt of the day.

I like to cook most anything on a grill, meat, seafood, vegies and even some fruit like pineapple. But since it asks for a favorite I’ll go with Seafood.

This question reminds me I need to photograph some shrimp skewers the next time I grill them.

I have a great salmon marinade and love that on the grill also with some light smoke. Now I’m hungry.

Reminder – if you are fortunate enough to have a full stomach each day think of those who don’t and maybe make a donation to your local food bank please.
