How is most of your food prepared?

It amazes me how many people these days can't cook. I like to cook because I like to eat, and dammit, I try to do it every day.
 
I love mixing yummy stuff together to make something even more yummy. Cooking just makes me more excited to get to eat, because the whole time I'm standing there "damn this smells good."
 
How 'bout you peeps? You cook, or rely on the man?

I usually cook food for myself and younger brother.

I cook all the time. My wife burns toast.

The microwave.

Tons and tons of Pasta.

I cook all the time. My wife burns toast.

Raw.

My diet usually consists on Hot Pockets and fruit snacks, but today I also had Pop-tarts.

EDIT: I'm exaggerating of course but a lot of the time, my college lifestyle limits me to this quality of meal.

@Fajita_Jim: Haha, yeah. I don't let her near the kitchen now, that's my domain. I have passion and patience when it comes to cooking.

I cook and sometimes my girlfriend will too, she tends to be the salt queen so I try to get to cooking before she does lol

Tons and tons of Pasta.

Mostly fast food or Pizza Hut.

Im to lazy i go out and eat. I'm lucky I because i look like I came out of Auchwitz which is very suprising because I go out and eat twice a day.

My servants prepare all my food.

with fire

I make all my food. I have been trimming down a lot on frozen foods a lot since the beginning of the year. Don't think I've had a hot pocket in a year.

Right now it is coffee, slimfast(2) and a somewhat medial dinner that I cook my self with a good serving of veggies.

Something like this.

By my lovely mother, and sometime I do it myself, but it's mostly frozen shit or something easy like soup ^^.

I dunno if most of what I do is considered "cooking"--I'll make a sandwich or pour a bowl of cereal--but I do enjoy experimenting with recipes and steps from time to time. I can make a mean quesodilla. I order pizza quite a bit too, and I guess I do make some microwave meals. Pretty much just your average bachelor-on-a-budget cooking.

We like to cook stuff together, but it sucks right now since our current apartment has a shitty (small) kitchen.

I can't wait to have a house with a big ass kitchen with all the counter space in the world with pots hanging in weird places. Spoons of all types in every drawer. Popover trays. Magic.

My mom does must of the cooking .... I just dont like having my hands dirty :P , but I do cook from time to time and actually have learned a lot for the past year or so.

For couples or those living alone or something, learn the simple stuff. Marinate a steak (tri-tip, sirloin) in Carne asada sauce and grill. coat a chicken in panko and Italian crumbs and cook in hot air convevtion oven. Chops, hawieian cut ribs, burrittos and tacos with hamburger, so on and so forth. Easy, easy dinners that taste really good.

Id say its equal parts all but frozen dinners, i hate those things.

My rule is that if it takes more time to prepare than to eat, it's not worth it.

This pretty much leaves me with cereal.

The more I've tried cooking, the more I realise I'm not patient enough to do it well.

My wife mainly, I am pretty alright though when she doesn't feel like it.

I make it myself, or let "wifey" do it. Unless it's one of those days where we're just lying in bed or on the couch being lazy, then it's frozen stuff getting heated.. Parents invite us over for dinner sometimes too, though I do love free food a lot

I eat nothing but Slim Jims.

I'd say I can "cook" but I'm not 100% sure what that means anymore, if it tells me on the back how long it goes in the oven for or it involves not much more than cooking up some pasta, rice or beans then I can handle it no problem, but I can't do anything too elaborate.

My fiancee and I cook, at about a 60/40 ratio.

I'm usually in charge of meat, because I'm a MAN!

I get my nutrition from vitamins and protein from protein shakes. and some bread for carbs.  

For the past two months, I cook everything from scratch. Unless it's cereal or protein shakes. It is kind of a pain, but I feel better knowing I have control over what exactly I'm eating.

It's a fairly even mix of cooking for myself, frozen dinners and take out.

I implore you all you who say you don't cook on your own to get a slow cooker to buy a thing of pork shoulder (also called pork butt) for about $6 and throw it in the slow cooker on low for 8 hours with a teaspoon of liquid smoke. It is the easiest thing in the world and it is amazing. For bonus, cook some rice in a rice cooker (ZOJIRUSHI) and use some yoshida's sauce.

I eat at Chipotle at least once a day. It's a surprisingly healthy lunch, though the $6.76 price is really pushing it.

I don't cook much mostly because I hate cleaning dishes. I'd seriously rather do any other household chore.

I love to cook, it's peaceful and creative. Well, unless you're cooking for a hungry girlfriend who cooks a bit more efficient but less creative. One of my main passions with food is experimenting with spices and flavors in general. But for all the amazing meals I sometimes create, I can equally (especially if I cook for myself) just fuck it up like right now when I'm eating 2 fried eggs that would make Gordon Ramsey kill himself.

when my wife and kids get tired of my vegan diet my wife cooks . I  never eat crappy since I got sick 10 years ago, but my wife and kids love greasy fatty home cooked food or McDonalds

My grill is used heavily. Stir-frying is also good.

Lots of frozen/refrigerated chicken, and the occaisional pasta, plus a lot of Turkey and provolone sandwiches. Nothing too tough.

I am an ex-chef but because of severe time constraints due to life I end up having to eat fast food most of the time. It makes me sad but it keeps me from falling over.

I can't cook at all. I also have a lot of extra MRE's built up, I once lived on those things for better part of an entire year

Damn, I'm 26 and still eating Mom's food. I stock up on frozen dinners whenever I visit my parents. I at least make a contribution toward the cost, though.

I eat more frozen food then I should.
