lol..thanks thier. I got that stupid commercial in my head again. don't read this middie, I don't want you to scream. :LOL:

I also like the word truffle and don't like the word dredge.
 
Favorites: Spicy, tangy, fresh, comfort food, hot from the oven.

Least favorite: Plate (as in "plate the food.") Why can't they just say "arrange the food on the plate," or "glop it on?" (just kidding about the last one!)

GOURMET

The most mis-used word in the cooking vocabulary....remember...only a cannibal can have a gourmet meal....

gourmet
n : a person devoted to refined sensuous enjoyment (especially
good food and drink) [syn: epicure, gastronome, bon
vivant, epicurean]


I like refined sensuous enjoyment as much as the next girl...But I already have three children...and I'm TIRED!
 
do not like smidgen, or pinch or handfull because it varies so much you cannot use it as a measurement.

Love saute, because I can imagine the taste and the sound.
