With lives seemingly getting busier and busier do you see the end of
"scratch" cooking in the future? Just looking backward, my Mother and
especially my Grandmothers cooked everything from scratch. Breads,
cakes, pies including the crusts, stews, soups, sauces etc...

Today is seems as though the number of people who routinely cook from
scratch is dwindling. People are migrating to canned stews, spaghetti
sauces, sauces in general, soups, etc. I know quite a few people who
don't cook, period. They either do take out, go out, TV-"dinners",
frozen stuff like pot-pies, and even premade and frozen PB&J sandwiches
for gawd sakes! Now I admit that I don't routinely make bread but I
pretty much make much everything else "the old fashioned way."

Anyone else noticing a decline in folks like us who enjoy cooking and
make the time necessary to indulge ourselves?
