Yeah, unless you happen to check the ingredients for "special sauce."

Thousand Island dressing... that's one ingredient, right?

My great grandmother was a Kinkaid who escapedemigrated from 19th century Ireland, people. Black pudding and coddle! The overlap of what we'd both recognize as food consists entirely of soda bread and Guinness.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I do like broccoli, green beans, cabbage (depending on how it was cooked), asparagus and artichokes but they don't get made very often. That requires A Whole Extra Cooking Pan/Pot. And since I'm often cooking three separate meals (since JZ, Emmett and I have fairly little overlap in our preferences) that's one too many.

For those nights when Emmett is over at his mom's, I do feel the need to point out that I find the first three at least edible and sometimes delicious depending on the recipe, and I am an utter whore for the last two.

or things I would not use in my kitchen.

For me this is key. If it's something I wouldn't use if I were making that item, I probably shouldn't be eating it. But then again, I really don't eat that much that is processed anyway. However, I don't always make the best choices either. I should be eating way more leafy greens for example.

Hmmm, I foresee my couscous with walnuts and artichoke hearts in the near future.

OH! I'd like this recipe. I have two boxes of TJ's whole wheat couscous in my pantry that i'd love to use.

Well, I just looked at the cookies I bought. Why Look - a trans fat. and corn syrup ( not high fructose, but corn syrup is one of those industrial products that I have issues with) But they are tasty - and not a normal part of my diet. So it isn't none in my house, but there isn't a lot.

My last attempt at couscous was definitely sub-par, despite using the same container of grain I've been using all along. I don't know if I've forgotten something I was supposed to season the water with or what.
