Just Cooking
Master Chef
For the first 2/3rds of my life I was a meat and potatoes guy..
3 square meals a day, not too much planned snacking but, what I wanted, when I wanted it..
When first married (1959) our weekly meat budget was $10.. Some sort of meat 4 or 5 evenings a week.. A full meal, prepared by my wife was mandatory.. Not in a husband dominant way, it was just how things worked back then..
When I finally grew up (a bit under 40) I learned to do more than grilling.. To be honest, my wife had mixed feelings about me cooking.. She felt it was her kitchen, her responsibility to have dinner ready for her family..
Time changes everything..
In today's world we (Jeannie and I) eat something about 5 times a day.
We always have a light breakfast.
A snack comes about 11am
Unless we are out, we seldom eat lunch.. If we do have lunch in, its a sandwich or something light. If we don't have lunch, another light snack is in order.
Somewhere between 2 and 4pm we have a small portioned supper.
Most evenings we will have a dessert, allowing enough time to digest before bedtime.
I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, even though I only prepare 3 or 4 full meals a week now.
The kitchen still gives me pleasure.
