So what did I do yesterday? I made all the old recipes, even the sinful ones with soup, and today I feel like a sloshing bucket. Have probably set self back 10 years. It's one thing to talk the talk , I can do that, I need to walk the walk. It's an acquired taste, Pedln found on the Mayo clinic site, that's heartening, and can thus be avoided. But LOOK at the sodium in a tsp of salt! Have you ever watched these cooking shows? I remember seeing Rocco deSpirito throw in tons of salt and saying "you have to be able to taste it." I like his cooking maybe that's why?
My doctor says restaurants and fast food chains and processed foods, including "diet" foods don't care about your health, they care about making it "taste good."
But Rocco has a new cookbook out of healthy low fat menus at least one of his featured recently in People Magazine is, and looks fabulous. I absolutely loved his old show Restaurant, too bad you can't get it in DVD.
I saw again the "cocaine" remark about our modern food being so full of fat it creates a dependence, the taste of fat wants more fat, and now it looks like salt does the same thing.
I wonder how you can eat out (not that I do that all that much) and avoid it.
Thank you PatH, I thought you were a chemist!! Such a range of interesting backgrounds here. Could not manage chemistry. In high school they brought in this Berkeley professor of chemistry who had been moved due to her husband's transfer and had not found a job at a university.
First we had Inorganic Chemistry, well that was a blight on one's record since one had no earthly idea what the woman, who was so cheerful and so encouraging, was SAYING. She had no idea why none of us could comprehend the simplest strange looking diagrams and concepts. Barely passed that one, what on earth was it about? Blot on record.
Then we had Organic Chemistry, for some reason that made more sense and managed to do better. Somewhat better. Way out of my league.
