    You know, I think its all the "additives" in some ready to eat stuff, and also some fast (or faster) food.

    MSG's and the like.

    Our taste buds are literally "deadened" by all that over abundance of that fake stuff, sugars and salts. You begin to crave it and can't appreciate the flavors of actual fresh ingredients anymore. Once you go back to enjoying "good" food, you begin to realize just how "tasteless" that other stuff really is. I notice it esp. in chocolates, desserts and snacks.

    I just don't enjoy spending all that time in the kitchen, but I sure enjoy and appreciate REAL and GOOD food !! I have began making "healthy" smoothies. Oh, how EASY that is. It replaces an entire meal with nothing but healthy stuff. Since you can use a lot of the ingredients frozen (fruit and greens) it makes it fast and convenient. The rest is stuff you buy once and then just keep on hand, like veg. protein powders, healthy stuff like mancha green tea powder or spirulina powder, ground flax seed or chia, nut butters, nuts, cocoa. Mixed with almond or coconut milk. I can make that in 5 minutes and it keeps me full and satisfied for hours.

    I usually don't eat breakfast. And usually skip lunch. I get busy and sort of forget to eat, plus I don't like to eat before doing physical work and since I'm constantly doing something, well, I don't eat, LOL. I'm an "evening eater" and snacker, always have been. But the smoothie is quick, healthy and doesn't make me feel "full and tired", so I have that for lunch.

    I make homemade sourdough bread every day. I bought the starter on E-bay about a year ago, you have to feed it twice or three times a day and I use the extra to make bread the following day. I've made bread sticks and French bread, lately I've been just making round bread. My latest addition was to add dried cranberries and a heaping spoon of garlic salt, it's wonderful!

    The funny thing is that it's like coffee, it only lasts about an hour before it starts changing and is not as good. It's best eaten within 30 minutes after baking. If you eat it the following day it's no where near what it was after being baked, I usually give the left overs to my colony of rats LOL. Here's something new I whipped up real quick the other day (photo below). Everyone wants the recipe until they find out it's a sourdough starter and it actually takes some effort every day to keep it going LOL. The best part is that it's real cheap to make bread, a package of bread flour is only about $3.50 and I can make bread for a week or two with that, just needs some water and salt, I guess I probably use about a cup of flour to make a small loaf every day, I usually feed it twice a day with 1/3 cup of flour and then use a bit more flour to firm it up before baking saving 1/3 cup of starter for the next day.


    That looks and sounds absolutely DELICOUS !!!

    I love fresh bread. I always say, I could live off of fresh bread (with real and unsalted butter) and home made soups !!

    You must have some very happy rats !!! LOL

    I forgot the crab meat but it was still awesome. I'm in so much pain right now and about to slip into a food coma. Thankfully I also forgot the sour cream for the cheesecake or tonight would have been my last.

    If you've never tried this recipe, just imagine red lobster shrimp scampi but with shrimp scallops and lobster and covered in cheese
