About this blog

QUOTE BLOG-quoting michael pollan where he talks about "difficult to make treats"

Here i am quoting michael pollan ( food activist)

here goes

QUOTE

If you've ever made french fries, you have to wash the potatoes, peel
the potatoes, you have to slice the potatoes, you have to fry them in
a lot of oil, you have to spatter your entire stovetop, you have to
clean up and then you have this pot of oil that you have to get rid
of. I mean it's really difficult and it's a pain. They're wonderful,
but it's a pain. And if you make them yourself, you'll only eat them
once every six weeks or two months because it's too much work

UNQUOTE


*****************************************************************************************
tHANKS TO >laughingsquid< FOR POINTING ME TO THIS ARTICLE where i
first read it .

>laughingsquid< a while ago,posted a link to an RSA SHORT where michael pollan explains how people are consuming "difficult to make" treats in large amounts primarily because they are now easily available at stores to buy and eat.

This is a TINY EXCERPT that laughing squid posted on their website
regarding his video and since THIS excerpt PRETTY MUCH , beautifully
summarizes the whole idea of what he is trying to say, I AM JUST
PLAINLY REPOSTING their excerpt as is.
*************************************************************************************
>Laughingsquid< said "This is the link to the ORIGINAL RSA SHORT where Renowned author, journalist and food activist Michael Pollan explains how cooking at home is much healthier than getting food from the outside in this two-and-a-half minute animated RSA short produced by Damn Fine Media."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=N7Ty8HoIEEg

In this RSA short, Food Writer Michael Pollan Explains Why Cooking at
Home is Much Healthier Than Eating Out

CHILLI SWEET CORN SOY CRUMBLE-LECINQBLOG'S BREAKFAST SERIES-

CHILLI SWEET CORN SOY CRUMBLE-LECINQBLOG'S BREAKFAST SERIES

I am CURRENTLY a PRACTICING PHYSICIAN .However, I did complete TWO YEARS of college studying GENERAL BIOCHEMISTRY AND MICROBIOLOGY, Food technology,Food Microbiology and Biochemistry prior to deciding that I am more inclined to the CLINICAL SIDE of things and hence decided to get into MEDICAL SCIENCE .I did very well in medical school thereafter and am now a "kick-ass" doctor .My interest in "Food" and the "Science of cooking" continues to this day and explains why I now have a Food blog as part of my LECINQBLOG family.I seek to dispel FOOD FADS, food myths via this food blog.I seek also to increase health awareness by canvassing for healthier diets.

I experimented with making my own soymilk from soybeans within months of going vegan (which was in 2008)..The soymilk came out great.So I made tofu out of it.

Then with the little tofu I made,I crumbled it and made something called SOY CRUMBLE,much like a scrambled egg breakfast.

I used thai chillies.They were so hot, I mean JUST SO HOT! Go easy on the number of thai chillies you use per serving.

I like the sweetness of sweet corn,hence, just had to added them to the crumble.

I possibly also cooked in cilantro leaves....(if memory serves me)..they kinda wilted into the crumble to the point of invisibility.

Was it tasty?I THINK it was..kinda...The soy crumble could have been more tasty...I have improved in the SOY TOFU making deparment since then and now, the crumbles are EVEN MORE TASTIER..

HOMEMADE VEGAN BIRTHDAY CAKE-2009

HOMEMADE VEGAN BIRTHDAY CAKE-2009

I am CURRENTLY a PRACTICING PHYSICIAN .However, I did complete TWO YEARS of college studying GENERAL BIOCHEMISTRY AND MICROBIOLOGY, Food technology,Food Microbiology and Biochemistry prior to deciding that I am more inclined to the CLINICAL SIDE of things and hence decided to get into MEDICAL SCIENCE .I did very well in medical school thereafter and am now a "kick-ass" doctor .My interest in "Food" and the "Science of cooking" continues to this day and explains why I now have a Food blog as part of my LECINQBLOG family.I seek to dispel FOOD FADS, food myths via this food blog.I seek also to increase health awareness by canvassing for healthier diets.

Yeah, that was my own birthday cake from 2009.Yeah, it is vegan.

yeah, I MADE IT MYSELF.

The whole cake was a MEMORY recall moment of a cake that I HAD ONCE EATEN at a class party in 9th grade.A cake one of my friend's mom had made.IT WAS a vanilla sponge with chocolate frosting and candied fennel sprinkles.Truly spongy and JUST RIGHT..I will remember that cake forever.

I tried to REPLICATE THAT MEMORY by making a vegan version of it in 2009 for my birthday.

It was tasty AND I throughly enjoyed spending MY BIRTHDAY ALONE ,with just me myself, baking a cake for myself and making my own favorite birthday dinner for myself too..I LOVE SPENDING ALONE TIME WITH MYSELF, BIRTHDAY OR NOT..I love unwinding with music or reading or blogging , ALL ALONE..Allows me to find my INNER BALANCE...on a peaceful note..

I HATE PARTIES OR CROWDS especially on a special day like my own birthday.So, I don't like gifts and I DON'T ACCEPT birthday gifts..I don't take calls even..(MAYBE with the exception of my parents..)

NICE CUTE COLORFUL CAKE, NO?
