All of that sounds great, and even more delicious when accompanied by cow or pig. Chicken is among my least favorite since it lacks flavor. It can be made to be tasty, but that takes effort in a subject that I have negative interest in. Cooking is like torture to me. I'm not good at it, and when what feels like extreme effort to me produces subpar results, I just get frustrated.
I've tried 3 times to make chicken pad thai, but they always turned out less than the worst restaurant pad thai I've had. That said, I have been successful with sushi, which is easy to make considering no cooking is involved (rice maker makes rice).
If I could figure out how to make the "Oregon burrito" from Muchas Gracias, I'd be one fat man.
Perhaps it's better I don't have any skill and lack interest.
