Tonight I talked to a profesional baker (just a random social thing),
and I came home thinking about cooking styles.

I enjoy chopping stuff, and frying and grilling, and adding things to
simmering sauces - things that might be characterized as "active".

I seldom bake or roast or do my mother's casseroles - things where you
do the work and eat an hour or two later - whatever comes out of the
oven.

As close as I come is rice or soup or the winter crock pot season.

Enough about me. My point is - as a half-assed socialogical survey -
are you an active top, or a passive bottom? (I know, I know; Please
don't make the obvious jokes. Until I typed this, I thought I was
asking a serious question. Sheldon - talk about how you use your stove,
or shut up)

Or are there another options?

I guess I swing both ways :-). I like the active prep and making
a meal come together with all components reaching completion as
needed for an enjoyable meal. But that often includes a largish
amount of inactive time when I can go and do something else (like
waste time on the net...)

I prefer getting a meal together in stages throughout the day; I don't like
meals where you have to make things come together all at the same time.
When I cook that sort of meal, DH always is always working alongside me
(working together).

The best sort of meal for me is when I have two things left over, and add
two new things to it. This is why I prefer Indian cooking.
