I don’t usually read Freshly Pressed blogs…more of that contrariness that so informs my personality quirks…but I got hooked, and clicked. Most of the post is funny, but the last two paragraphs surprised a full belly-laugh from me, and I wanted to share. Mind, I’m a big fan of the Travel Channel‘s food programming, like Bizarre Foods and No Reservations, but I cook like the second paragraph, so it was especially funny to me…but I think it’ll hit home with most. ;)
“I, admittedly, enjoy reading up about consumables but food culture sort of misses me. I think a part of me wants to understand because I really do love a variety of foods but I always seem to fall short once it starts to sound like an erotic novel about rare ingredients. Then again, I suppose the alternative isn’t much better:
“I cooked some beef today because it was on sale and I hadn’t had any in a while. I was going to cook a nice chicken curry with rice but then realized that it was going to be just me and I needed to eat that beef because it was starting to stink. It needed some salt, so I salted it. I’d say it was pretty okay because I didn’t get all that sick.””

there’s a formula it seems to what gets pressed. certain number of photo blogs. trips to europe. cute animal pics. attempts at humor.
KC,
Freshly Pressed is so overrated. Who would ever want to be Fp’d anyway, right?
Pfft. Pfft.

Ah, you are too funny, KC, to be such a wicked poet.
Or am I too wicked to be such a funny poet? *raises an eyebrow*
I love you too, my George. For one, because you were one of the first to truly inspire me, and for another because you have the insight and people skills that I can only dream of, and for third…because your name is the same as Nancy Drew’s sidekick in the book series. *grins, hugs*

Lord, Girl, you won’t do. I never read a word of Nancy Drew in my entire life. Can you believe it? Arrested development. That’s how it happened. No Nancy Drew. Geeze … you’d a thought somebody woulda’ tol’ me. Seriously, you are some kind of good. You know that, I assume. If you don’t, take my word for it.
you’re a gem! I think you are so wonderful ! Truly ~Deborah
::blush:: Sheesh…more compliments! My head is getting so big it’s not gonna fit on my pillow!
*hugs* Seriously, thanks, hon. I appreciate your appreciation. *grins* You’re pretty awesome too! You’re so positive, all the time…you’re an inspiration to me. Btw, you’re Mormon, right?
