1. You're not the only one

While my stuff is probably a little more elaborate, I'm a cook, not a chef, so I avoid those threads. Besides, as I get old, I find that I'm a lot less interested in layering flavors and more interested in tasting the food, itself, so I keep things clean and simple.

Today I'm lazy, so it's pasta, little oil, little garlic, little cheese, little hot pepper, little broccoli. One pot, one strainer, one dish. That's it. I cook the broccoli in the strainer over the boiling water, lid on top. It's simple, tasty, and requires little cleanup. It's simple, cheap and tasty and wouldn't fit on any of those threads.

So fellow cook but not a chef, I salute you. Nice to know there are some of us left.
