Things Taste Worse As You Get Older
Last Friday my husband and I went over to our friends' house in Playa Del Rey for dinner. They made this amazing vegetable lasagne (from Cooks Illustrated) and some turkey sausage stuffed bell peppers. While the peppers were in the process of being cooked I had mentioned that my mom used to make our family stuffed green bell peppers all the time (with ground beef, rice, onions, and miscellaneous seasonings). I used to love those darn peppers! I would slather them with a combination of ketchup and A.1. steak sauce.
In discussing these bell peppers, I had mentioned that there were a few dishes that I grew up eating that I just don't like anymore. Within the past 18 months I have made my mom's stuffed bell peppers, and even the famous tuna noodle casserole that I devoured as a child - and I just can't stand them anymore! They're soo bland. Lifeless. I need SPICE! Plus, I don't even enjoy the texture of these dishes anymore.
It makes me wonder if I would still enjoy some of the quick-fix canned or frozen foods that I would divulge in at times, like Chef Boyardee ravioli, SpaghettiO's with meat sauce, pizza rolls (they HAVE to be Totino's) , Bagel Bites. Okay, maybe I can't eat SpaghettiO's anymore.
Am I the only one who feels like this? Probably not.
I'm sure that my joy in eating and cooking good food, dining out at good non-chain food restaurants (soo many to choose from in the L.A. area), and my overall being a "foodie" has aided in my not enjoying my childhood cravings now.
Speaking of foodie, there is apparently this great new magazine called Chow that' s geared for the 30-something who enjoys fine dining and cooking shows, but who may lack many of the skills necessary to cook the things that they really like. I read about this magazine once in one of my many advertising newsletters, though I haven't seen it yet.

Bad-Blogger!
I need to leave posts more often. I have a few experimental blog ideas (that will probably only be new to me).
Anyone have any good ideas on how to keep ones self motivated to post often?

Crazy iPod Sleeves
So I subscribe to this great daily newsletter called DailyCandy L.A. (there are alternatives for other larger cities too). Anyhow, as I was catching-up on some of the latest newsletters that I haven't read lately, I came across one for this company, Tinymeat, that has some interesting and cool pop-art iPod covers. They also have some interesting card cases and wallets too.
They also have a pretty interesting blog.
This is my favorite iPod case from Tinymeat:
