What is it that makes you so passionate about cooking ?

I can make better food than most found in restaurants I could afford to eat
in daily. Than any, really. I can't afford Michelin starred restaurants
ever, white cloth and maitre d' seldom and I can if I take the trouble, cook
at a very high level. That's because I never could afford to eat like that
unless I mastered the craft. So I did.

BINGO!

Wanting to eat WELL.

If I were rich, I'd eat at great restaurants. I'm not. I'm not one
who gets all jazzed about putzing around in the kitchen. They don't
call food prep "scut work" cuz it's fun. But, if that's what it takes
to get the best out of food and eat better than the prefab garbage at
the stupormkt, then so be it.

Sorry, let me clarify. There is no religious significance to
Christians. Who are celebrating Easter. In English. Which is one of
(the?) only language which uses that word, rather than
Passover/Pascha/Pascua/Pasquale/Pesach. "Easter" is actually tied to
Passover. Because the Crucifixion happened on a Friday during Passover
and the Resurrection was on the following Sunday. It is a moveable
feast which is always on Sunday, to commemorate the day of the
Resurrection, rather than only the date.

AFAIK, English is the only language which links this holiday to
Oestre. The church didn't speak English in the first 600 years of her
existence, anywhere. It was, however, commemorating the Resurrection
from the beginning and fixed the calculation of its date in the fourth
century. Or do you claim that the Jews also "acquired" Oestre, before
they even had heard of the Anglo-Saxons? Perhaps you are Anglo-centric
and don't realize that Pascha has a history beyond England? It might be
a true statement to say that the English incorporated the pagan
traditions of their land to include the bunny. However, that is not
true of the greater Christian Church. Even the colored eggs have an
older history than that, though they were traditionally all red, for the
blood of Christ, rather than pastels.

That's exactly why I like cooking. I can make foods that cost much,
much more if I have someone else make them. I can afford those foods
more often if I make them myself.

I'm betting that's the reason most here have learned to cook well.

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. A drive for excellence
out of a desire to save money is not solely about practicality. I could
make cheap, mediocre food to save money, but I choose to make excellent
food instead.

I don't know that I'm passionate about cooking, but I do enjoy good food.
You can easily eat better for less by doing it yourself.

I have friends that are second rate cooks, but we still enjoy a meal at
their house because of the shared company and good times.

Nad R,

Foods can be damaging, of course, but I was speaking to eric.

I don't do restaurants lately. I don't trust out of sight kitchen
cooking.

Besides, it WAS his topic.

Sorry if it made you get so upset.

Best,

Andy
