We are talking “Struggle Meals” today.

Now I’m not talking about the low budget actually tasty new age struggle meal. No. I’m talking about the ‘I wonder’. The ones that probably should be thrown out.

This is gross and inappropriate. I get that is probably what was available, but if you’re willing eating this… you’re wrong.

I’ve been there, the old ramen noodle diet. No one gets past that food phase, they are lying if they say they have.

Look, I wasn’t always a chef. Ask my kids, they got to experience their mothers experiments.

See. Back in 2010.. the struggle was still real for me. I’ve made some dishes that make “Americas Worst Cooks” look fucking gourmet. I was also a pro at making cement gravy during this time. Nothing like a solid plate of Biscuts and Concrete.

Eventually, it got easier and I was making biscuts from scratch. I don’t know why, the can is less mess and I can 425 all day long.

It took time, patience and a lot of burn cream but eventually we were making food that not only looked decent, but tasted correct. Thanks for the flavoring lessons Chef Baum.

Then, it all clicked…

Food had become the art I knew it to be. Not only was I able to now make my favorite dishes, but I also had the ability to taste flavors and recreate the dish.

The moral of the story today is.. please… eat better. Don’t feed yourself or your friends some trash!
