these guys here know most of my interests, Mediterranean, Caribbean (including eastern Mexico), Asian, and so on.

If you don't know what something is, make a note of it and do a search. Some scary sounding things are o.k., some are freakin frightening.
It does not take that long to throw some stale bread in the blender and make some seasoned bread crumbs for whatever. Soup is fun to make. So much stuff people buy prepared is so quick to make without the chemicals and excess sodium.
Pick the good oils, run from high fructose corn syrup, try to stick with whole grains---
and, the people waving in the back are yelling "enough already Nan". pm me if you have questions.
