There are two kinds of Food

Did you ever realize there were two kinds of food. There is the kind of food you sit down to that is only meant to satisfy the hunger pains and to survive. Then there is the kind that you sit down to and enjoy digging in. The kind that you really enjoy eating and later feel guilty cause you ate way too much.
The first for instance. Who ever sit down to a bowl of cereal or a bowl of oatmeal, even a bowl of cream of wheat. Now talk about boring. I had much rather sit down to a couple eggs with hash browns and some good ole fried bacon or sausage. hey, what about some good ole buttermilk biscuits on the side with some real butter and syrup. I like to take some real butter, pour a good helping of maple syrup on top, take your fork and mix it up real good. Melt all that butter into the sweet syrup. When the syrup gets that creamy blond look, then take one of those good ole cat head biscuits and start sopping. Now, that is a breakfast. No dad-gum wimpy cereal for me.
Now, for dinner? ( You city slickers call it lunch. What you call dinner, we call that supper.) In my previous blog, I talked about how to build a perfect sandwich. And that is cut into stone. Do I need to remind you? That is mustard on the bottom next to the meat, and the mayonnaise on top next to the "Salad". Mix in some taters and you have a fine lunch. OR better yet, a plate of good ole fried chicken, mash taters w/ gravy, peas, and corn bread with a big ole glass of sweet tea. Now that is lunch. But if you want to just exist, you can stick a bowl to can soup in the microwave, get the bowl so dad-gum hot you can't touch it, pull it out and crumble some saltine crackers in the soup, and take a bite. Then you find out the only thing hot is the glass bowl you have the wimpy soup in. Maybe have a good ole cold glass of water for a beverage. That is what I call eating to exist.
Now for the main meal. Yep, I said main meal. They say the most important meal of the day is breakfast. If that is the case, why eat a bowl of cereal or a piece of jelly toast? Just wondering. Now back to the supper. You could take something out of the freezer, half ass thaw it, and slap it in a skillet. Never once give any thought to seasoning. Cook it so that it looks done. While this is going on, you put some left overs or some vegetable can goods in the microwave. In about 10 minutes you have supper. Don't have any taste, still frozen in the middle, but hey it satisfies the hunger pain until bedtime.
OR, you could take the rib eye out of the freezer and completely thaw it out to room temperature. Put some of your favorite seasoning on it, marinate it in some Italian dressing, maybe add a little liquid smoke and and beer to the marinate. While that is going on, fix a big bake potato, and some good green salad. Open a bottle of Merlot or better yet a big ole glass of sweet tea. Once the steak has marinated, put it on a very hot grill, and cook it to med. Now that is supper. Now something you can just only survive on, but some thing you can enjoy. Oh, better take the Nexium, cause you will really enjoy that supper most of the night......
You see, my ole buddy, Gary Davis, told me one day. He said " Brother CW, I have known a lot of good folks in my day. Have eat with most of them. Most everybody I know eat to survive, you and Janene are the first ones I have met that survive to EAT". How true he was. One of the things have to do in life is eat. You have to do it every day. So, why not make it fun and enjoy eating. When you get old and have to give up your hobbies, you can always sit down to some good viddles and enjoy your day.
