I see... your comparisons work here.

What I was refering too were those mothers who buy sodas and sweets for their children + industrial all-prepared meal and so on... children need a new education nowadays, what means parents need a new one too. ;)

Avoiding the biggest supermarkets often leads to better products, and even cheaper. The margins of prices of these "leaders" are too big now.

... Cake or brownies ? Must be more than 15 years I haven't bought anything like this !

But that's a long discussion, and I know how long it can be to change our habits, mostly regarding food.

 

PS: if you want to know all the virtues of onions, check the web ! It has too much for I report. ;)

PPS: "check the web" < hey! sounds like an oriental dish.

I'm saddened too by the blind mass-consuming. So many complain, fairly enough, of how expensive can be food nowadays but when I look what they fill their caddies with (not mentionning their children) it really makes me furious...!

Ok it demands a bit time to cook something, but so few actually, and your health, your mind and your wallet feel so much better. And in the end even your time is better used that way (I'm not losing it when I cook, that I'm sure).

Our society has turned a virtual comfort into real slavery... And we're not finished with this yet.

My last falafel dish must weight almost 1 Kilo and it didn't cost much than 2 Euros and 1 hour to be made... You've got what to do for almost a week with that.

Seriously:

Falafels and Tabouli (both recipes from liban, and the most common oriental one), not forgetting the tahini (cream of sezame seeds).

All homemade (the wife only watches).

For the falafels I now use to replace the chickpeas with green split peas + split brown beans to have them lighter, and include violet carots that make them a bit more juicy as sweet. I fry my falafels in olive oil.

Conveniently, peas and wheat together totally make a complete meal and compensate meat (I almost became vegetarian involontarily so to say).

We certainly have for 4 or 5 days to empty the whole dish now.

Was a time when I thought I would make a "what have you been cooking?" thread, or a "How many times did you messed up your cook while lurking at OT.com ?".... (it happened to me once in the past).

How many of you use to cook ?
