  Welcome to, “Condensed Cream of Book for Busy People Who Want to Know, But Don’t Have Time to Read a Whole Book and All” by Pauline Cunningham. Today’s Condensed Cream of Book is: “The Pressured Cook” By: Lorna Sass ‘Scuse me. Aren’t we all?
Well that was easy. Maybe next week I should try some of the other cookbooks. Maybe I should look for “The Steamed Cook”, “The Pickled Cook” or “The Fried Cook”. How about “The Stewed Cook” or “The Sauced Cook”? Maybe there’s one made just for me called, “The Bitchy Cook”. Why are so many words for cooking also words for inebriated? Think about it. How about “The Low Fat, Low Cal, Low Cholesterol, Low Sodium, High Fiber, High Vitamin, Vegetarian, Incredibly Delicious, Totally Satisfying, Easy to Make, 365 Different Meals Cook Book”? No? There isn’t one? Huh. Real surprise there. Since I can’t even find a SINGLE recipe like that. And yet we have the low-carb, high-meat, heart-attack friendly cookbook. We have the vegetarian-everything tastes like overcooked baby food and aardvark snot cookbook.
There’s all those deep-fried Fatty McLardass cookbooks. And the “Be a Chocoholic Choco-Addict Who’d Sell Her Living Soul for a Dove Bar You Weak, Worthless, Vile, Choco-Whore” cookbook. Or maybe that’s just me. What was I going off about now? How I hate to cook? How I’m on a diet? Whatever. I’m off to the kitchen for a rice cake or perhaps a piece of chalk if I can find one. You’re on your own.
