how do you cook hot dogs.?

[Eupher]

oh yeah ?  I bet that you drink Budweiser, too ......... 

Don't drink a'tall any more, but when I did it was Pilsner Urquell.  Are you the kind of guy that looks a gift horse in the mouth?

Gimme that beer back!

Ahem, Euphless...... do you separate your eggs (yolks and whites) before making an omelette??

One day on a sleep over with a friend that lived on a farm I watched her Mother cook the chops, and for the life of me hamburgers in a fry pan with a couple inches of water.

My friends Mom added garlic and spices to the water and cooked them for about a few minutes on each side.

She then removed them to the grill to finish cooking.

I do the same thing.  I let them simmer in a pan of water until I'm ready to cook them, then they go on the grill or cast-iron pan for a few minutes.  It works pretty well.

I have a bad case of ADD.  I can "start" cooking dinner at 5 and might not eat until 9.

Has anyone else cooked one by sticking it on a fork and cooking it over the burner on the stove?

I have an electric stove.  If I did that, I would burn my house down.

Here.  I'll share. 

 

Add me please, this should be fun to watch!

FIFY

Ach, Thorazine, the Navy aviator guy has asked me a question!  About cooking!  Yippee!!!!    
 
Uh, you mean whip the egg whites before folding the beaten yolks back in, creating an unbelievably light, fluffy omelette? When poured into a hot, buttered pan? Like I've seen in Texas?

Nope. I make 'em the French way. Roll 'em up with a little sauteed veggies in the middle. Maybe some cheese. Diced ham on a good day.

Don't get me wrong -- I like 'em the Texas way. I'm generally too lazy to go to all that trouble though.

I hated doing egg-white omelettes, especially when you have to stop what you're doing to crack and separate two stinkin' eggs.  Working the brunch shift sucks.

I make them your way, Euph...

Actually, I was informed that the French whip up the egg whites and gently fold in the eggs. I suppose that depends on what part of France. I was only ever in Marseilles and NEVER had an omelette there. It may also depend on whom you ask.

For the record, I typically fix my omelettes the lazy man's way, too. (The same way the Navy and many other places did them) I have, on several occasions, whipped the egg whites, folded in the yolks and added in my favorite ingredients after the egg batter was in the pan.

Classic French omelette cooking (and that doesn't necessarily include the cuisine of southern France which is Spanish- and Italian-tinged) requires just beaten egg, maybe a bit of milk or water, and most especially, isn't cooked nearly as long as an American omelette. If the egg turns up brown at all, it's burned.

That's what I was taught back in the day, anyway. I suppose like potato salad, there's a bazillion ways to cook it and everybody has their own variation.
