Menu changes and the frustration of cooking for a picky eater

Happy Sunrise ! coffee is brewed and hot !

It is Saturday morning once again. One thing you can count on, is no matter what you have planned for the menu, some one is going to have their own idea of what they want you to cook, how they want you to cook it and often have a recipe they found somewhere. So difficult to keep your cool and yes dear just for you. One of these days it will be, hire you a  chef and maid, I am not your slave, oh and by the way you pay their wages. Well, we all know that won't happen, I am not Donald Trump or any where close to being that rich. Tell me ladies if you do the cooking does your man tell you what to cook and how to cook it and give you the recipe for it ? For me that is a lack of respect, for the person and their ability to cook, especially since you don't cook the meals. What use to be traditionally a women's world, has progressed to now a Gender free zone, but have the females really given up control or is it I might not cook but I am going to tell you how too. I really don't want to use this blog as a bitch session but it is part of the problem with Men in the home Kitchen in today's world.

 I have so many variations of a Baked Potato Soup, and of course another recipe now that has been thrown into the batch, it is a little different then the majority of mine, but I will use it to make mom-ma happy. If it was for me I like a potato soup made with the water I use to boil the potatoes, it has the starch in it which thickens the soup just to the right constituency, and of course the Yankee influence by adding my touches to it, She even said it was really good, but oh well one of these days I will get it right for her. The recipe she found is not even right, she does not want any crispy bacon in the soup wants to add it as a garnish with sour cream when it is served which usually what I do anyways but she just had to tell me.

Going to make my corn bread to go along with it, ain't no changing that, I have not found any better, and the wife loves it. The recipe comes from John Besh, according to him, it was from his Grandma, so it has to be good, coming from those bayous in Louisiana down by New Orleans.
