I WOULD rather eat a frozen (gluten-free) pizza than do that again!tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-88971357932937126642016-02-09T18:37:28.943-06:002016-02-09T18:37:28.943-06:00I definitely agree that restaurant food is part of...I definitely agree that restaurant food is part of the problem! It's POSSIBLE to eat out cleanly, but it's much easier to do so at home. Do you have Dana Carpender's 15-minute-recipe cookbook? Some of the items are "duh" things like eggs, but there are quite a few very quick recipes with minimal ingredients, and the ones i've tried are very tasty. NICE to be able to whip up a fast and comparatively easy but delicious dinner....tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-60105403216410713022016-02-09T12:33:09.995-06:002016-02-09T12:33:09.995-06:00I just heard on the radio how to prepare tofu:

Most from Craig at RuledMe, but a few of yours Tess as well as that WONDERFUL salmon bisque recipe w/celery I got from you Lori!!!<br />Anyway, as you say a major obstacle was that many took up PAGES w/extraneous photos; some of these were tossed, or jotted down on ye good ol' fashioned 3X5 index cards. Nothing fancy but hopefully more of an impetus for me to get back in the home-cooking habit. (I was intrigued by one theory that obesity epidemic really spiked when we began eating a greater proportion of our calories OUT, w/much more vegetable oils, additives, preservatives & so forth... I'm sure you saw Ted Naiman's meme that "FOOD GOT TASTY" ;-)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152215204773184788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-86678167896310153972016-02-08T15:43:46.315-06:002016-02-08T15:43:46.315-06:00Lol -- agreed!

MDA has a pre-preparation photo of the ingredients, and i've always wondered what that was meant to accomplish, but i suppose it might just be reassurance to some of the dense muscle-heads to whom he is a hero, that there aren't TOOOOO many different things in the recipe. ;-) Like you, melting the butter, chopping the onions, and cooking the two together seem to me a rather unnecessary step to document. And all the little dishes with unidentified spices -- even if he were offering his recipe to the non-reader, it ain't gonna help much.tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-91637706968993637972016-02-08T14:44:47.139-06:002016-02-08T14:44:47.139-06:00A digression for this digression:

I don't care about the time someone had an AMAZING dish, went home, made it TOTALLY PALEO (except for the butter), it filled the house with warmth, laughter and peace on earth, and cured them of their autoinflammatory bad skin and irregular periods and even got their husband, who took the whole paleo thing a step too far, to take a bath. Then there is a photo of the chicken, butter, onions and spices (just in case you don't know what those look like) and several others of mid-preparation (in case you've never chopped onions or melted butter) and then (scroll, scroll, scroll) the finished product.<br /><br />Twitter is a right step in the editing direction. In fact, I'd like to see Twitter recipes: directions in 140 characters or less.Lori Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02612141535162268390noreply@blogger.com
