Everything has a smell. I'd like to believe some things don't
smell, but they do. All food rots.* There is no preservative
that allows food to retain its value as food perfectly, nor do I
believe there is a perfect version of any food. But I know that
the ingredients we have is the ingredients we have.* There may
be more ingredients and ways to combine things that we currently
think of as food, yet it's also possible that this is it and
what you find in the supermarket is all there is.* I honestly
don't know. Someday I'll cook every recipe I ever read. There's
other cooks of course.* They make foods too and I really dont
HAVE to cook, but what if I have to cook for myself?* I should
learn. I can cook very quickly and efficiently, using as many or
as few ingredients as necessary.* I don't even make a mess in
the kitchen and I clean up after myself when I do. But I'm not
worried. There will always be SOMETHING to eat, even if it's not
what I want. Of course I'd LOVE to be able to cook what
pre-literate people who lived before Hieroglyphics but since
they didn't write it down, I don't have a copy. But their
recipes aren't LOST; since we have the same raw ingredients,
more or less that they did, we can eat what they ate, or at
least something close to it. We have imagination, which is
strong enough for us to imagine what they MIGHT have eaten and
make foods based on that.* Imagination is the closest thing to
authentic pre-literate human cooking as we can get.
