Exactly... no one said they don't like their own cooking. Many times
it can require so much time to prepare and cook something that I'm too
hungry to wait and so will eat something to hold me over but I'll eat
a little too much adn kill my appetite and then by the time what I'm
cooking is ready I'm no longer hungry enough to enjoy it because I'll
will have to stuff it in... often occurs with soups and stews...
those are better the next day anyway. And many times I purposely cook
something for eating the next day or over the next few days. About
half the time I prepare a dessert (maybe bake a cake or pie) I'm so
full after dinner that again I''d only have to force it in so it's
better to pig out on it the next day... It's not that I didn't eat it
because I don't like it, I didn't eat it because I like it too much.
Yoose remember that london broil I marinated yesterday but didn't
cook, it was because I pigged out on that potato salad I made
yesterday. Well right now I'm attacking that london broil... it was a
3 point something pound slab of beautiful top round... between me and
the cats it's half gone. And I also grilled a medium zuke and two
ichiban eggplant, those are gone too. Guess what, no potato salad
tonight, and not because I don't like it, my tank is full! If I were
a cat I'd join them, they all waddled off to their beds.
