The Most Interesting Man in the World is in his 70's.
Sophia Loren is pushing 80. Wouldn't you agree they're "well preserved"?
Gluten free, pootin free....I want preservatives. Man Logic.

What brought this to mind was this morning while making whop-'ems I glanced at the label and sure enough, there they were....preservatives.
Hmm? You know....whop-'ems. Canned biscuits.
You "whop 'em" against the edge of the counter and the can explodes....
Which brings to mind a whole 'nuther subject: Does anyone cook from scratch anymore? Be honest now. My mom, rest her soul, was a lousy cook. She knew it and even made jokes about her lack of cooking skills. She wouldn't have known how to make a biscuit if her life depended on it. Whop-'ems made it so darn easy, why bother learning ?
When / if you bake a cake, do you start from scratch or do you start with a boxed cake mix? Do you buy pre-made pie shells? Surely, unless maybe you're first generation immigrant Italian, you don't make your own pasta. I think at this point in my life if I tasted something truly cooked from scratch I'd wonder...."this doesn't taste right. What's wrong with it?"
To go with my biscuits this morning I made some gravy, too. No, I didn't mix flour and water...no, wait...that's paste. Flour and milk and....er.... I just used a mix....
It was darn good, too. And besides, this is now The American Way. God Bless America, and preservatives!
Man Logic. :)
