Why bother?

I'm changing. It's funny how it sneaks up on you. I no longer have the time for anything pastiche (if one can use that term in reference to food). Take these squares for example. Another one of my cockamamie attempts at "healthy" snack foods: ie, lots of wheat germ, ground nuts, agave nectar, etc. But, honestly, do you really want to eat this?

If you want something healthy that tastes good eat a freakin' apple!!!

I'm done with this kind of thing. If Im going to bake, damn it, it's going to be delectable.

To that end, if I'm going to cook, it damn well better taste good. Which explains my lack of productivity in the cuisine as of late. If I can't eat it raw (salad, fruit, bread, cheese, yogurt), no thanks.

However, since we are 14 days and counting to the land of wurst and weiners, I have got to move a lot of consumables. Take for instance the 6 baby octopus in the freezer down stairs.

WHAT WAS I THINKING?
