.. she said she didn't want to "cook all day and do 4 hours of dishes". I was taken aback- what about the kids-..

I know, it makes me screaming mad to hear these narcissistic monsters that bear kids and place them in some tiny box, like a new pair of shoes.. I can't tell you how often I hear at school board and PTA meeting that the parents are proud to tell me that they never cook.. Astonishing.. yuck.. :(

I wanted to tell her that is wasn't about cooking- it was creating and celebrating and being Americans. I mean defrost and use paper products with grace and style for the kid's sake.

Oh well- at least you and these great freeps on your thread get it! Hugs Carlo!

BTW- My problem is that there are so many great recipes on this thread that I can't choose... we may have to celebrate every day this month!
