Blog. It’s what’s for dinner.
So, first I have to thank those of you who have checked out the site and a special thanks to the ones who commented. It means the world to me that people are willing to read what I have to say and then choose to say something back. Now, on with business…
I’m about to make dinner and for those of you who know me even a little bit, you should know already that I hate cooking. I think it’s boring, tedious, and way too much work for what I get out of it – typically a gray, bland pile of stuff that’s hardly edible. There is, of course, the exception of those ready-to-make-out-of-the-box things like spaghetti (sauce in a jar, noodles from a box) and those lovely rice side dishes with the spices already added. I can handle those and do quite well when I don’t overcook them or, for that matter, under cook them. And before you ask, it is possible, I’ve done it.
Tonight I’m making my pretty standard tri-tip steak marinated in this great Polynesian sauce that we get at Sprouts. That’s one of the better finds I’ve made there. Truly yummy stuff even if it does have the additive of the devil, High Fructose Corn Syrup in it. With that, I’ll make one of those great box-o-rice side dishes, a yellow curry rice.
Off to cook – anyone have any recipes they want to leave? I’ll give them a try and let you all know how they went!

Hah @ HFCS. I can’t believe how much stuff has high fructose corn syrup in it! Alex is currently on a thing where he refuses to eat anything that contains it, and it was a challenge to even find a brand of BREAD that didn’t have the stuff! One kind of bread had “sugar, honey, molasses” AND HFCS! I’m like, with all that other (natural) sweet stuff in there, why did they have to go and ruin it?
I remember going through that whole bread search a few years back. We don’t buy anything with HFCS if we don’t have to. One bread I found was Orowheat’s Health Nut bread. It’s really really good and no HFCS whatsoever. To date, it’s the only one I’ve found sold in a major grocery store without it.
The one we found is sold at Safeway, and its Aunt Hatties “Double Fiber” bread, which sounds like it could be nasty, but It’s actually really good and it’s soft enough to be good for sandwiches and whatnot, and no HFCS.
