How would life change under this new approach?


A lot more time in the kitchen. Time that would become work instead
of fun.


Disagree.


You don't really disagree, you just didn't read or understand what I
wrote. Try again when you're not so tired or in such a rush. -

I've never taken the whole "basic" dive. I found, though, that, when I have gone from scratch, I'm more inclined to get my kids involved mixing and whipping, etc. Messier; but they can clean as well as they can make the food/mess. If not, you TEACH them.

Sounds worthwhile, especially if you have some rugrats. Your kids are much less likely to bolt down five brownies if they labored on them.

I can only see the positive. I don't eat much ketchup, admittedly, so I can't see missing that. My kids ahev learned, thoug, that homemade bread and soup is "basic" and one of the more perfect measl one can enjoy, while being flexibale enough to maintain regular interest in the two.
