Anyway, too much processed/frozen/microwaveable food, and not enough staples & home cooking. What’s not to understand?
True, dat.
A couple times a year, my husband goes off w/his buddies, so I don’t have to think about cooking for anyone except me and the dog. Several times, I just stocked up on microwave food from the grocery. YUCK! None of it was worth eating.
I think I am going to get a brisket and make corned beef and pastrami. It’s been years since I did it myself, but it was so worth it.
Used to be that brisket & flanken were inexpensive substitutes for T-bone & porterhouse. Marinate, grill, slice thin across the grain. Not cheap any more.
I remember corned beef & cabbage as a kid. Nowadays I wonder if those packaged corned briskets are any good.
Cooking something, anything on the stove is ALWAYS better than nuking convenience food. The microwave is for emergency use only.
