COOKING THE LOST ART
Cooking is a lost art ?
OK, here are a couple of questions for you.
What’s the oldest profession (wrong…it’s cooking)
How come my martial arts have been handed down in a careful and
faithful manner from master to student, for hundreds of years, and more
importantly why hasn’t cooking ?
Simple: nobody wants to cook anymore. Hey, everyone works one or two jobs, then there are the kids, soccer, the gym, and movie night. Who has the time ? Not to mention the fact that this skill is often handed down from mother to daughter, etc. for generations. News flash, there are a lot of households where formal cooking has not been engaged in for generations.
I gotta tell ya…I love food, and good cooking. And why shouldn’t I, I don’t drink, smoke, or carry on with wild women. I need a vise just like the next guy. Besides, being raised in an Italian household, there was always good food and plenty of it. When I was growing up, it seemed like my mom, grandmothers, and all the Italian women were always cooking. You could literally walk in to the house at any time of the day or night and the wise ones would say..Sit, Sit….i have some nice (fill in the blank)..almost ready. Tell you the truth, even all the Italian men were good cooks.
Don’t get me wrong, I like eating out at a good restaurant a few times a week, but there is something special about a good home cooked meal. The food at most of the restaurants that serve food with the title Italian, Mexican, French, etc..are a far cry from the taste and quality that you would get in that particular country. I also don’t won’t to come off like I only will eat gourmet foods…I like a Pb&J sandwich, or a big mac, as much as the next guy
The trouble with eating Italian food is that five or six days later you're hungry again.
