I was asked today what I was eating for lunch.

FOODSTUFF: Tuna Melon Sandwich

Shop industrial with Ed as he bulks-up on freshly ground coffee.

How many cups of joe does a three-pound bag of roast make? How many demitasse of espresso?

Muse in this controlled environment, free from marketing pressures!

NOTE: Cooking for Home

FOODSTUFF LISTING: Ground Turkey Goulash; Ed's Tasty Catfish; Ed's Pork Chops

What someone has done during the day inspires what is done by that same one during the preparation of foodstuffs, which may be reflected in the mood upon and of the meal--from taste to presentation.

POEM: Cooking at Home

FOODSTUFF LISTING: Ground Turkey Goulash; Ed's Tasty Catfish; Ed's Pork Chops

Venture along with Ed as he prices and shops for cheese and produce. Can you guess what Ed gets caught touching?

I am at a loss as to what to do. I'm stuck in the dilemma of guest/host etiquette and familial recompense. Perhaps I'm obsessing.

FOODSTUFF: Meat and Potatoes Salad

NOTE: Gravy or Sauce

FOODSTUFF LISTING: Ed's Spaghetti Sauce; Eddie's Pasta Sauce; Alfredo

My spaghetti sauce was my first en masse foodstuff product. I purchased a case of tomatoes and pounds of accompanying produce on Saturday, and spent an entire Sunday prepping, sautéing, combining, stirring, tasting, and eating. Afterwards, I packaged the sauce in containers, freezing the nutrition for future eating as well as distribution to my family and friends.

POEM: Gravy or Sauce

FOODSTUFF LISTING: Ed's Spaghetti Sauce; Eddie's Pasta Sauce; Alfredo

A soundscape of the topsy-turvy adventure featuring Ed and Eddie (father and son) as they hunt at a local supermarket. What will luck bring them?

NOTE: Cooking Technique

FOODSTUFF LISTING: Gazpacho; Springivera Pasta Salad

I've been told that the perfectly prepared dish does not require any tableside augmentation, such as salt or pepper. To add salt or pepper, least to say using a condiment such as catsup, hot sauce, or mayonnaise to enliven the dish, could be interpreted as an insult to the cook, uh chef.
