Favorite Foods
Thai is my favorite, by far. But other things I enjoy are: pasta, potatoes, spinach, onion, beef (in all its many forms), sushi, burritos, seafood, celery, and mangoes. Really, though, there are so many that to try to list them is kind of silly. On the other hand, the only thing I really don

I'm one of those people that loves to cook. I mean, I love it. Even when I come home, after a long night of cooking, I want to make myself some dinner. But every now and again I get lazy- we all do, don't even deny it- and a frozen dinner, or peanut butter and jelly sandwich seems to be enough. And all of this is just fine with me, until you end up with something like this:
Home Cooking in Minutes!, you say? Bah! I'm insulted. Seriously insulted. To say that a box of frozen, over processed, additive infused pirogies can come anywhere near the level of cheffery a normal person could is seriously demeaning. When was it that we go so lazy that this sort of instant gratification, home cooked meal in a box, "all the flavor without the effort" style eating became popular?
Do you remember having that happen? Maybe I'm just lucky in that my Mom and Grandpa used to make dinner, from scratch, for us almost every night. My mom even made our salad dressings. I feel fortunate to have had those sorts of real home cooking from an early age, and I can see now how much good it has done me.
So out with the frozen junk and in with the good stuff. I won't harp on this particular issue again, but I did have to get it out in the open at least once. - Posted May 21, 2008 by misschef | Share It
