Last weekend, my dad was pretty wowed when I turned his beloved "eggs & potatoes" (yes, he really isn't into "fancy food" like I am) into a breakfast frittata that had his taste buds singing. Let's see, I also think my "Mexitalianese" stir fry with extra firm tofu strips, shredded carrots, sundried tomatoes, and Parmigiano Reggiano for dinner recently was another winner. I just can't wait until tomorrow when I'll have time to make my signature gnocchi dish (with crimini mushrooms, shittake mushrooms, and Manchego cream sauce) for dinner! Maybe I'm weird, but I feel most comfortable when I'm in my home kitchen. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy eating out. I guess I just feel like I've accomplished something truly meaningful when I eat something that I cooked myself from scratch or near-scratch. Perhaps this is looking on the bright side of the recession, but I feel glad in a way that I do more of my own cooking these days.

I actually feel fortunate that I can still go out once or twice a week. My dad's still visiting, and he recently told me about some of his friends back in Cali who can't afford to eat out at all. Hell, some of my friends back in Cali are now in that situation as well! Unfortunately, we've all been forced by the recession to downsize. But hopefully once we know for sure that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't an oncoming train, the strong restaurants that will have survived this recession will grow even stronger and the casino industry will have learned the important lesson of not taking one's customers for granted (by charging them an arm & a leg for mediocre or outright craptastic food).
