These Culinary Thymes

There is a very old saying that “the wind from one door closing open’s another.”  I do believe that destiny will always present to you at least one option.  Some do not believe in pre-destiny, but rather a person has total control over what lies ahead.  I believe that it may just be an undetermined combination of both.  The trick here is to figure out the plan as you go.  For example, I believe that a higher source has decided who become rich, and who washes pots.  I think, in looking at the state of the world today it is better to be holding the brillo pad.  Those CEO’ and such are left holding the bag, and I hate to tell you what may be inside that bag.  This too may apply to the world of food.  So many people have been mezmerized by cooking shows…hell, even cooking networks.  So many catch phrases like “Bam!!” or “in the words of my uncle…ALA CUISINE!!!!”  America has a new breed of heroes and for some they are either going to be top chef, or made out of iron.  I think it is good to see shows based around cooking and chef’.  I know for me, they are probably the only thing I will watch.  I don’t think there are very many good quality shows out there, so since I am a chef…these shows hold my interest.

I do think that they have created a monster, and that isn’t always a bad thing.  More and more of us are learning to put healthier things in our bodies, and that is always good.  It also raises our awareness to the bad things like fast food.  Transfats are being removed from menu’s across the nation, and people are taking charge of their lives instead of blindly “super sizing” them. With the recent outbreak of Ecoli-0H757 at america’ favorite mexican take out joint one must ask themselves…”did it taste that good??…good enough to die for?”  “Fast food” can also be blamed for the increase in type 2 diabetis in americans, as well as all the other problems out there.  I imagine the point I am trying to make is that america has started to get more involved with healthy eating and avoiding all of those other alternatives.  There is nothing wrong with eating eggs and butter and the like.  It is a better alternative than what we are starting to see and realize…so break out the pots n pans, dust em off…and let’s start cooking.  I promise you will not regret it.

Well, that’s it for today.  I know I have been a way for some time, and I want to say that I will be back a lot sooner next time I promise.  I’m not sure where I will go, but it will be great none the less.  See you all soon…bye!
