It’s hard to believe that we’re just a few months into 2019 and that the year has already been filled with an onslaught of amazing dishes. Some of these dishes are for the most part, just delicious. There are so many to choose from and there’s such a wide variety of dishes to choose from.
But then again, this is 2019, and we don’t really have to worry about the future. Because while you can get to eat a lot of good food now, there are also tons of delicious recipes that have already been shared here on the blog.
I’m not even exaggerating when I say there are literally thousands of great recipes online that would make an amazing dinner party. I could eat a bowl of these all night long. No, wait. I can. I have.
I am sure that the recipes here are great, and I agree that there are tons of great recipes online, but there is one thing that has always annoyed me about food: how often I am forced to purchase something I could have just made myself from scratch. I am perfectly aware that I could make a dish exactly like this from scratch, and that is what I usually do.
I often think of this as a sign of people not knowing their kitchen skills or their ability to read the ingredients on the label. It is like the chef’s secret sauce or seasoning recipe: something that is both easy to make, but can be quite expensive. It sounds like a good problem to solve though.
I think that the phrase “food that’s hard to find” or “food that’s impossible to prepare” is a classic and very true example of it. Many of us are not cooks, nor are we chefs, and we all know the truth. Sure, we can cook and bake and bake and bake delicious cakes and cookies, but there is a lot of other food that can’t be made at all.
Even more than that, there are food that are difficult to prepare that are almost impossible to make. Take potatoes, for example. They are such a vegetable, so they are easy to cook, but they are also so hard to prepare that they are almost impossible to buy at the store. And it is quite hard to make. Most people will have to buy their potatoes at the store and slice, boil, and steam them and that is almost impossible to get right.
But there is a food that can be done that is very easy to make, and that is potatoes. The good news is that you can get them from most supermarkets. The bad news is that you will have to cook them. You can’t just boil or steam them. You’re going to have to cook them.
When you go up, you can go up, but you can not go up. And when you go down, you are not going down.
If you are like me and are a potato snob, you may not realize there is a whole whole world of potato that isn’t in your standard supermarket. So that’s why I’m posting this. I’m talking about the world of potatoes that is available for home cooks to make at home.
