Most of the people I know don't cook at home. They eat out or buy convenience foods. One gal brags how they can eat cheaply at Burger King since they are senior citizens and then in the next breath complain about their medical bills for their cholesterol meds and tests...hmmm, think there's a correlation there. We do eat out. But it is a special time for us. I like cooking for my husband and our friends. Last Christmas I made goodie baskets for our friends for Christmas and they were very popular.

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 23:36:37 +0000 http://noteatingoutinny.com/?p=3480#comment-148690 I don't think it's sad that cooking at home is becoming a dying art. If you think about it, women have done the majority of cooking throughout history. It has only been in the last 50 years (in America) that woman's roles have changed. More and more women are the breadwinners in the family and do not have the time to cook. Not including how many single-parent families have grown over the years. We can say some people are being lazy, but I don't see a crime in buying frozen vegetables when we live in a culture where a 40 hour work week isn't enough anymore. Don't get me wrong, I am actually for cooking. I try to incorporate some of the things my mom has taught me in the kitchen, when she had the time to teach. But please, let's look to the chain of events that have brought us to this current situation. (Woman's strides in the working world, fast-food companies expansion/targeting lower-income neighborhoods, singe-parent families, fewer farmer's markets, constant importing of foods to the US, schools cut "home economics" classes, the list can go on.) Like I said before, I am all for cooking at home, but most men no longer hunt for our dinner, so why should I feel bad if I don't cook. ;) I don’t think it’s sad that cooking at home is becoming a dying art.

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 17:27:23 +0000 http://noteatingoutinny.com/?p=3480#comment-97451 I am a 45 year old mother with my sons ranging in age from 8 months old to 25 years old. I was taught by my grandmother how to tate when I was 6 years old. Sadly, I did not keep in practice and have forgotten how to do it. I believe it is important for all to know how to cook a home meal. It's so very satisfying to see what you come up with. I love the southern cooking the best and traditional cooking. However I will try new things too. Cooking for your family is especially rewarding when you see how much they love it! Happy cooking all.
