What a wonderful way to enjoy my evening--reading an exchange from you.

I'm a foodie, too--and food (GOOD food, not necessarily "fine dining") is another one of my guilty pleasures. I'm such a pickey eater that whenever I sit down (or more accurately, used to sit down--no longer dining out) at a restaurant, I ask my standard questions: "Is your 'house-made' salad dressing made from scratch?' Is your 'home-baked' bread made from scatch? Are the muffins and cookies made from a mix?," Who sources your coffee beans, etc.) ...and back in the days when I cooked, I made home-made croutons to go with my ceasar salad--and the dressing had to have fresh-crushed garlic, a cracked egg, anchovies, etc. I even made my own hollandaise sause and tomato sauce from scratch. Post-dementia days, I order all my dinners from CookUnity:

It's all or nothing for me. That's why I have few pleasures, except guilty ones.

@georgescraftjr Yes, I'm the same way with food. Doesn't have to be real gourmet, but I'm real big on flavor profiles, the way seafood, steak, and chicken, is cooked. I'm not much of a baker, but I'm good with savory. Not as much as I used to be. I'm just not cooking much, but I miss it. You made the real ceasar dressing; I cheat a little now. Even with my homemade meatballs and the like, I get some good package food and doctor things up. I just tapped into your link. Wasn't aware of cook unity. I'll have to go back in and look at it again.
Sounds interesting. Best, Karla
