One can go crazy if they get to OCD with culinary definitions. I mean, before I throw my burger on the grill, is it a burger or steak tartar?


O - I love it!
No - How much time should I put into deciding on the color blue for thread??? hmmmm

It's all so silly!

Hey - why don't we just re-write all the cookbooks and totally destroy all their index categories???? No one would find anything!

Let's see - burgers under steak tartare, mashed potatoes under purees, hummus under purees, - oooooooh the fun it would be! LOL

And now if you will all excuse me - I have a bigger decision to make than the blue thread! What a dillemma I have!

Should I color coordinate my underwear today to match my blue tee and blue capris?? Gosh I just don't know what to do....................

Decisions, decisions, decisions...........so many sleepless nights over all this!!!

LOL

Well, Mama, if you don't wear underwear it's never a problem, n'est ce pas. ;)

Now then, if you really want to change the books, here's where to start:

Every cookbook and cooking magazine that includes a soup-like dish made from butternut squash and cream calls it Butternut Bisque---except around Thanksgiving, when it's pumpkin bisque.

But virtually every definition given for "bisque" says it includes seafood.

Therefore.........

And the funny thing about all this - it's going to get worse before it gets better!

And I just love all the dreamt of names for (for instance) chocolate cakes. I have seen the same recipe with 18 or more different names for one particular cake. And the best part is - they are ALL ORIGINAL! LOL (using a cake mix yet!)
