Is anyone else as tired as I am of all the freaking "foodie" recipes that are pushed by people who have nothing better to do? "Cilantro infused, lemon curd, blah, blah sauce" Give me a break! I want plain recipes. Easy dishes that we can make after a long day's work. I see the recipe title and think "That sounds good"
Then I read the ingredients.
And, while I'm at it, what is with mags like "Woman's World"? EVERY freaking week their cover has:
"I lost 500 lbs in 3 weeks" (ok, so I exaggerate. Sue me
) and"The miracle exercise for your ....butt, hips, thighs or whatever"
THEN under those screeching headlines:
"Fantastic 1 million calorie desserts to make in minutes"
"Super fudgy chocolate cake with bourbon icing"
See the disconnect? The irony? I used to read it religiously until I finally noticed.
Hmph! I'm ready for some real recipes that an average person who doesn't have a 1000 bottle/container collection of herbs and spices, or "infusions" can make. I'm ready for mags to be honest. "This diet/exercise is crap and eating any of our desserts will just make you fat, but go ahead. Life is short."
