Meal preparation has become more important to me in my old age. Once upon a time I was content to go out and forage in the various eateries local to my area.
However, their heyday is long since past and I dare say the employees of some of those establishments all too often appear less than hygienically trustworthy by and large. I don't want to mention any names ...
McDonalds.
So I have invested in a really good dishwasher and a modern feature rich gas range with air frying and convection oven and am presently pursuing a good set of stainless steel pans in the name of nourishment and not having to eat out all the time. It's amazing how many people think it's okay to cook in aluminum cookware. They apparently do not follow the Alzheimer's dementia clinical data as closely as I have since the 1980s.
Today is National Meal Prep Day. It is observed on June 9th annually. Meal preparation is a much maligned yet essential activity of daily living. If you are to eat meals must be prepared.
I fondly recall the "lunch ladies" of Irving School in Blackfoot, Idaho and George R Fishburne Elementary in Hanahan, South Carolina to this day. They were ALWAYS some of my most favorite people.
As it was then I remain someone who appreciates proper nutrition and enjoys good food. I likewise hold those who prepare food in the highest esteem.
That gourmand which was me early on has evolved to gourmet status so to speak inasmuch as I like good healthy food and pursue it vigorously. Food preparation is essential toward that end if you aim to also diminish that need for restaurants in your existence. Not that a good restaurant experience is to be shunned at all.
Happy National Meal Prep Day.
