Nothing Beats Home Cooking

1. Add silly extra costs to the mix like carbon taxes (which do absolutely nothing) plus general taxes and regulations (min wages too!), and it’s not surprising that the prices are higher, even before consideration of the quality of the food and workers.

   I used to eat out a lot, but I find the pricing is getting ridiculous. I enjoy home cooking, though even the prices of basic ingredients are way up there!

2. When I was a student in the early 70s I used to go to The Old Spaghetti Factory because it was almost free. About 10 years later I met someone whose sister worked there. They microwaved cold precooked noddles instead of cooking as they went. Pasta isn’t that hard to cook. Slop!

   1. That’s every place that serves pasta.

      I worked at a fancy italian place 25 years ago. $100 a person without drinks kind of place. One job was weighing out 90% precooked noodle portions, putting in little sandwich baggies so the chef could just toss it in a frying pan with some sauce when ordered.

      Nobody’s boiling for 15 minutes when ordered, would slow turnover

      1. No one has to boil noodles for 15 minutes. Pre-cooking and portion control are essential for profit.
         You pre-cook, portion, and when a pasta dish is ordered you drop the premeasured portion into a pot of boiling water for one minute, strain and add premeasured sauce/garnish.
         Just like fresh boiled.

3. I didn’t prepare for last night’s dinner, so I was going to pick up some Chick Fil A on my way back from Home Depot … only to realize the Christian ownership closes Sunday’s for the Sabbath. So I had the wife go to Nation’s Giant Burgers … who still hand make the absolute BEST burgers … and mess of crispy Onion Rings … not to mention thick MILKshakes and Pie.

4. Fast food makes my poop stink.

5. This explains our increasing negative reactions to restaurant food and are packing a sandwich from home more and more often.

6. L – Quality is one of the values that made Western Civilization great. The lack of which is demoralizing for both the consumer and Canadians working in jobs, without that value.
   Quality is something that small and many medium sized business owners take pride in, as have most self employed tradesmen.

   Restoration of that value is one critical to reversing the manufacturing of despair, which postmodernism delivers in spades.
