friends – Chef En Fuego

I despise Microwaves

Sure , once upon a time they were helpful to the family. Now it seems the “cooking” method of choice. Nothing says I care about feeding my friends and family like standing around a microbox. Really brings everyone together.

The boxes have bake potato and pop corn buttons. They are wrong in the “cook” time (I tried to use it a few times-Fail) and if one was to read the ingredient list on a bag of nuke pop corn? Only a scientist would know what the hell that shit might be. Hell, the USDA is kind of iffy on waved food like stuff.

It takes less time from start to finish to make lasagna from scratch than a frozen stuffybrand.

Leftovers

The kids table during the family and friends gatherings

It used to really (and still does when I see it in practice today) to sit at the “Children’s/Kid’s” table. Are we not all someones child no matter our age? Isn’t the point of the gathering together? To break bread and share stories and information with each other? Why keep younger folks away from the wiser (sometimes) folks?
To me, the other table for youngsters is only showing disrespect and sending the message that the youngster have no value and a distraction. Seriously, the parents spend too much time having to go back and forth between the tables to cut food for the little ones etc.
Stepping down from soap box (for now)
