Arrrggghhh borrrrred
After two weeks vacation and this surgery stuff I am really bored. This a rare experience for me, so I thought at first it might be depression or the flu, but, I realized a few minutes ago that I was delighted to have some bills to pay on-line. Something to do. Wow!
Has anybody got any ideas for a food article?
What do you cook in January?
Or what would you like to know how to cook?
I'm thinking about finally writing my long-planned artsy-artisanal bread-baking article, and probably buying a perfect loaf from Publix to use for the photograph. My bread-baking theory is this: that it mostly takes patience, which most of us don't have. You need to knead it a good long time, and you need to be patient while it rises and you need to cook it the right length of time. If it's all done right, then it's wonderful -- bread you can eat all by itself just for the breadness of it. (If that's a word)
Comments on bread baking welcome.
Also any suggestions for food articles.

Pet Theory: the biggest reason people love pizza is that it's fresh hot bread delivered when they're ready to heat. Alas, it's the kind of bread (like Pillsbury pop-and-fresh) that loses nearly all its charm when it cools for the first time.
now that you're supposed to eat healthy stuff, how about an article on comfort food that isn't bad healthwise. a few years back my husband went on a low-fat kick and he cooked some really yummy things that didn't require an emeril backup crew to prepare. i would like to see something to counteract the "fill celery with shaved ice for a lowfat treat." :)

Best diet tips I know:
Don't eat anything that's handed to you through a window.
Drink a can of V-8 while you're preparing supper. (This is the most filling drink in the world)
Always have fresh lemons on hand.
One of my favorite low-carb diet dishes is a stir-fry without the rice. Any stirfry -- but there are some good frozen ones in the "skillet sensations" section.
A good low-fat entree is a baked potato with a topping of low-fat cottage cheese -- lots of pepper, or Montreal Steak Seasoning (my favorite pepper blend)Skip the meat. (This is a good lunch, too)
Primavera a la Perkins:
Mix a package of cooked Lean Cuisine chicken fettucine with a package of cooked broccoli flowerets or one of the broccoli, cauliflower, carrot mixes -- which makes a plate full of food for less than 400 calories.
Chocoholics:
You can make real cocoa with artificial sweetener by following the directions on the cocoa can, leaving out the sugar, and then adding Equal to taste

Homemade bread is a gift of love. That is why the most important ingredient is the milk of human kindness.
