I'm making some homemade pork egrolls today. Is it strange that I cook everything from scratch? It seems most people today eat frozen prepared meals or go out to eat. I'm sorry, but I can cook way better than any crap that I could buy prepared .. plus it's usually much cheaper, fresher, and healthier too. toetapping, sandman, Dazzal, gibby, foxy, kerri, niftiness, jayman, Galra Keith, Peri

SafeInSanity, I like to cook and agree that homemade always tops store-bought. have made a few things out of curiosity. made puff pastry from scratch ONCE. it's no difficult but involves a good amount of time. and, frankly, final result wasn't better than frozen... Pepperidge Farm. mad tamales from scratch... first time I ever bought lard. tamales are a BIG food... ya can't just make a few servings... have to cook for the entire town.

Home cooking is almost always better. But I admit I get frozen prepared meals sometimes because of the convenience. For example I went to Kroger's to pick up a few things the other day and had not eaten yet. Did not feel like cooking and saw this. All I had to do was nuke it, stir it, nuke it again and then eat. Did it taste like thanksgiving dinner? Heck no but it was still good and easy to make.

I'm one who really doesn't like to rush seasons. I don't wanna see Halloween candy on Labor Day. I refuse to watch any Christmas show until at least Thanksgiving. BUT just mention turkey and I WANT some... REAL turkey... and real gravy. Wawa makes this THanksgiving bowls... mashed potatoes topped with turkey, stuffing, cranberry & gravy. I tried it on orc and was immediately disappointed. the turkey was like deli turkey... NOT like the real deal. won't be having a big t-day feat and get-together, but will be cooking turkey in some form. ideally, a half breast (bone-in & skin-on). will probably roast a few wings ahead of time to start a batch of gravy.

I'm not sure yet but tomorrow I'm deep frying some jumbo shrimp and reheating a few of my homemade eggrolls that I made yesterday. 🙂
