- Green bean casserole with mushroom soup and canned onion rings is wrong.
- Baking bacon in the oven makes wonderful bacon and it is easy and less messy than frying. Trying coating it with maple syrup and black pepper, too. Yum.
- Making up ALL of your own recipes doesn't always result in fabulous food.
- Check your cookie making supplies before starting to bake cookies. It sucks to find out at the end that you don't have powdered sugar to make a glaze for your fabulous chocolate surprise cookies.
- Cooking dinner should always be done with a glass of wine at hand.
- People who have long lists of foods they don't like annoy me.
- There is "white trash food" out there that is good. I just haven't found any of it yet. Except maybe jello.
- If your only problem with Tastefully Simple food is that it is too expensive you really need to read my blog more.
- Should I make turkey for Christmas? We just had it for Thanksgiving. But it was REALLY good.
- I think I'm going to make the feast of the seven fishes again for Christmas eve dinner, but leave out Mario Batalli's disgusting salt cod balls. Okay, don't say it, don't even think it.

Random Thoughts on Cooking
Usually, I try to keep a theme to my posts. Today, I have just had random thoughts about cooking going through my head.

I keep hearing about this oven cooked bacon wonder. Just stick it in and wait for it to get crisp?
Yes, I put it in for 20 min or so on 350 and then raised it to 425 for another 10. It makes nice, chewy bacon, crispy if you cook it a little longer.
A few random comments:
1. I don't make up everything on the fly, and occasionally follow recipes, but cooking is a conversation and you have to listen to your food. You can't boss around everything.
2. Even you enjoy schizophrenic dinner sometimes.
3. Meat should be a condiment
4. Why is it that the English have such beautiful gardens and such bad food?
5. People who purchase and use Tastefully Stupid crap should be publicly flogged.
6. The people who started Tastefully Stupid, are geniuses. Who knew you could charge $8 for 3 cups of flour, a little baking powder and sugar and sell a ton of "beer bread" mixes?
7. If there is "Grandma Foodie" and daughter "foodette", it's only fair that I get a name, too. "NPLP" isn't good enough anymore.

1. I *can* boss everything around. You know I can.
2. I agree with all of your other points.
3. I will try to think of a good descriptor for you.
4. Does your Ivy league over-education allow you to know how to post a comment less than three times?
5. I love you.
An Ivy league education allows me to do all sorts of stupid things just cause I can.
