my grandfather harvested our small garden a few days ago
had some fresh snowpeas and let me tell you they were good
even put some on the bbq, in some foil, with butter, wow !!!
anyways today i just noticed all day all the crap i ate was smothered in sauces.
for supper i had some processed chicken in some sweat and sour souce - i had some without the sauce - they didnt really tast like chicken
had a salad full of lettice and raddishes, crossbred with who knows... and smothered in dressing... some fries - smothered in sauce and for desert one of those frozen cakes with microwaved chocolate sauce
i noticed i needed the sauce cause all that crap wasn't half as tasteful as those peas
i used to work in a fast food restraunt - one of the big ones- not the biggest - but like 2nd or 3rd - its name shall remain secret - ill just say it has a burger in the name and this is followed by a kingly title
i noticed when i was there that everything didnt taste like food untill you smothered it with ketchup (which is like half sugar) and other sauces
we did an experiment once (i worked graveyard in a bar town so we had like free reign of the place) were we brought some potatos in, cut them up, and put them in the deep frier, and they were good. we then gave some of the late night barflys a choice of the cut potatos and then precooked crap that comes in boxes
you wouldnt believe how many people tooked the precooked
and come to think of it they smothered it in sauce as well
as to put too much sauce on the fresh ones would be like a crime against good taste
anyways that was completely pointless little post
as well as badly constructed
but my point is
sauce makes artifical stuff real
and we should apply that principle to more then just food
like boob jobs, and wall street :-)
Well, not sure about boob jobs and wall street, but I know that capitol hill has been following this logic. Just look at Ted Kennedy.
If you don't want it read, why you postin' it?
He had to give you something to post about.
I had to warn people that I make very little sense,
unless I'm on "the sauce"...
in which case I'm not sure if Im making sense
or I just think I'm making sense
the trick to making things taste good without sauce is variation. make a pasta salad or couscous salad (no sauce in that!) but use a lot of different vegetables. it's still summer that means veggies are cheap and varied. pick a theme for your mix don't just throw everything together. also use high quality ingredients. having soggy carrots from a can can spoil an entire salad.
for meat. again get good quality meat. rub it with salt and pepper, maybe a bit of garlic, but that's it.
your making me hungry
