Home Cooked
#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @SaintPepsi
I see this phrase littering billboards, displayed proudly on commercials and banners. Printed in bold on packages at the store. Home cooked this and home cooked that. Come to Chili's for a home cooked meal. I can't imagine that this is anything short of blatant lying. If it wasn't made at home it's not home cooked. Maybe, it's that little part of me that gets all bent out of shape when I'm lied to. Like late nights when the prescription medicine comes on the TV. Please take this along with your depression medication. Side effects include stroke, seizure, death. Those side effects aren't important though so long as you feel better. So what do you have to say for yourself TV dinner looking at me though a microwave. The only reason you say home cooked is because I had to bring you home and microwave you... at HOME! If they had a microwave at the store; I would have cooked you there. Are we so far gone that we find it hard to remember what home cooked really means. The ability to take a number of ingredients some of which we aren't sure about, but like a mad scientist we'll throw them in and see what happens. Bring friends or family over and share our new creations with them. Desperately looking for that delight of good food joy or the disgusted look of disapproval letting you know to try harder next time. Home cooked means fellowship with these people around your own creation. No calorie guide, no ingredients on the box. Is this gluten free? I have no idea. Maybe. We have accepted fake ideals for real home cooked meals and this should not stand. We have already given up our dependance on this countries own natural resources, traded family time for time spent in front of the TV. Our imaginations are choking on the things that are handed to us and called genuine. Get into that kitchen and get your hands knuckle deep in ingredients. Add the things you like and see what kind of real home cooked meals you can make.
