Manic Monday: Fresh

MM-bluetextI have no problem with the concept of using preservatives to keep food fresh.

In fact, I find it strangely amazing that Twinkies can last forever, whereas a freshly-baked pound cake in your kitchen generally should NOT sit there for a year.

I look forward to the day when we can do this with other food as well. Imagine, you can pack a few tacos in your suitcase, along with some crab cakes and some egg rolls.  Maybe some fettucine alfredo too. Leave them there for a few days while you’re on vacation, then, on your last night in the hotel, unpack them and chow down while watching old reruns on TV Land.

And, through the glorious miracle of preservatives, you would NOT be cringing and whimpering with food poisoning a few hours later.

Embrace progress.

    One thing that I hate that has preservives – the new bag of sliced apples. They are gross- and nothing like fresh.

    Brilliant idea! Perhaps something in one of those spritz on bottles so that you could apply it to anything. Even a bacon club chalupa.

    How interesting that my anti-spam word is septic. Coincidence? I think not.

    Can I have a Devil Dog instead of a Twinkie?
