Early this year I lamented the loss of my beloved Mother's cookies. Who doesn't love those little pink & white cookies, right? Well, somehow Kelloggs stumbled across C&C got in touch with me. They had snapped up Mother's & put them back in action. Low & behold, on a trip through Gelson's, there they were tucked away on the bottom shelf. It took all my strength not to grab every bag.
Yesterday I learned I have an entirely new Mother's product to mourn. I was so busy in the late 80's concentrating on Sesame Street, playing with the cat, & being amaized by my brand new baby brother that somehow I missed this! Do any of you remember Mother's Ice Cream? If only this would re-appear on the shelves! (And yes, that is Matt LeBlanc)
Okay, twenty-somethings, you know those young-working-their-way-up-the-ladder- or-generally-avoiding-the-ladder-hip-up-and-coming-band- listening-latte-sipping-tiny-apartment-living type folks, don’t hurt much for attention. We get it from all angles; from the internet, television, product placement, tweets, pop-ups, & clever ad campaigns. When it comes to food though we’re just left out. The culinary world largely assumes that most home chefs are equipped with a well stocked kitchen, a family, a mortgage & income to spare. That’s just not the case.
I know plenty of young guns that enjoy cooking but find it a rather daunting task. You’ve got to cut the recipe in halves or fourths, run to dozens of markets to find all the goods, use tons of pans. Is it really worth the effort for just one or two tummies anyway? Yes! It most certainly is. Cooking does not have to be a convoluted endeavor. It doesn't have to be for a crowd. Or a special occasion. It can be simple. It can be quick. And it can even taste good! This blog aims to de-mystify & simplify meal making though an exploration of modest cooking for two twenty-some-odds. A tale of two tummies if you will...
