I sometimes make edible food and sometimes my attempts result in a Quick Delivery Order from one on the on-line grocery stores. The Quick Delivey Food replacement is far more satisfying than the concoction now gracing the inside of the garbage pail.
When I was much younger I had aspirations to be a Pastry Chef. My career didn't go that direction, which is a good thing. Pastry Chefs have to be very precise. EXACTLY this-amount of A and that-amount of Y and they have special scrapers to scoop every last bit from the bowl into the dessert form.
I am not prescise.
I like precision but I do not like to be precise. I lack the fundamental requirements for a Pastry Chef.
I did have a secret-smile moment when I bought a set bowl scrapers. They aren't real bowl scrapers but I pretend they are. I enjoy the daydream of precision while sort of scraping the bottom of a bowl into a dish.
A set of bowl scrapers does not a Pastry Chef make.
Some years ago, pre-COVID, Allen went to get his hair cut. There were lots of questions about did he want X or Y or Z and how did he want the back of the neck. Allen isn't into fussy and he was very direct:
TAKE IT OFF. JUST TAKE IT OFF. TAKE IT ALL OFF!The patrons waiting in line had a good laugh and when their turn came, they too said "JUST TAKE IT ALL OFF"!
As I am prepping for another COVID-Turkey Day and all the forthcoming food experiments, it occured to me, that's how I cook.
PUT IT IN. JUST PUT IT IN. PUT IT ALL IN!
Hoping your Turkey San Guibe Day is just as much fun as
PUTTING IT ALL IN!
