Those of us with time on our hands should take up cooking if we are uncertain about the quality of our fast foods.

Cooking dishes at home like (Beavers) mom used to make is a satisfying hobby if you learn how to cook “real good”. One can save a little money and eat healthy, fresh, and balanced nutrition home cooked meals. (Gee whiz, Wally)

Or you can make your own versions of fast foods if you want. Lot’s of info on the Internet about how to cook your favorites. It’s very rewarding to successfully cook a meal and quite disappointing when the meal turns out bad and tastes like crap. But experience will guide you.

As you progress, learn to BBQ and spice according to your personal tastes. Not too much of this or that, but just enough to get the required taste. Again, let experience guide you.

When you get to be a “real good” cook, you will never be satisfied with fast foods again. BBQ, burgers, pizzas, tacos, chilli, burritos, etc. no problemo. Yum yum.

Try it. You’ll soon be cooking Italian, Mexican, Asian, or whatever cuisine like a pro.

I drink a little wine or beer while I cook. It makes cooking so much more enjoyable. And don’t forget to wash your hands.

My sister makes “redneck enchilada’s”. basically pan fried hamburger meat with cheese wrapped in tortillas and (Wolf brand) chili poured on top and then baked.

You can add your own spices and peppers when its on your plate.

It is actually very good.

Scroll down to his homemade Schlotsky's recipe. I'm having one right now, yum! The only tweeking I've done is adding 1/4 C flour to the dough so it makes 6 buns, don't bother with cornmeal and use all purpose flour which is cheaper than bread flour. The genoa salami is eliminated because it's not sold here but it isn't missed taste-wise. I can make 5 sandwiches for the same cost as 1 Original 6" store bought sandwich. Actually, that was years ago prices so I bet that extra 6th sandwich could be added so 6 of the homemade version would equal 1 bought. The recipe is written more complicated than needed and is really so super simple.
