Things to remember with cooking

[xiphias]

I like salt a lot more than Lis does. "Enough salt" for me is "way, way too much salt" for Lis.

I grew up without salt in cooking -- my mother fed us a fairly low-sodium, largely-organic, mostly homemade diet when we were kids. Thus, when I grew up, I found that I LOVE refined sugar, white flour, and salt, and use them all far, far too heavily, I think.

Mmm. Refined sugar. . . we've got 25 pounds of it in the trunk of the car right now. . . I should go get it and eat it all. . . mmmmm . . .

Interesting how that works, isn't it? We grew up mostly saltless, also, but I still prefer much less salt than most people. Have started liking it much more now that I'm older; my taste buds are clearly shifting, and I actually use it now---sometimes quite a bit.

We were all about the white flour and sugar, though, and now I eat whole grains and turbinado sugar. Go figure.

Really makes me wonder what to do about the sprog. Though I suspect that mucking around with his current diet for the sake of future eating preferences is just plain silly.
