I used to religiously watch the cooking shows (especially Jacque Pepin), and try to copy the recipes. Then menopause set in. Forget slaving over a hot stove with tongs in one hand and a hand towel to mop sweat in another!!! But I miss my family dinners, especially since I have two precious grandbabies that live less than 5 minutes away, and due to my work (my over-full time job and my jewelry business), and an aging father, that I rarely get to see any of them on more than a weekly basis.
So why Laissez-faire? If you look up the definition, you'll see:
1
: a doctrine opposing governmental interference in economic affairs beyond the minimum necessary for the maintenance of peace and property rights
2
: a philosophy or practice characterized by a usually deliberate abstention from direction or interference especially with individual freedom of choice and action
But my definition of laissez faire is a deliberate abstention from long, drawn out gourmet recipes! :-) Plus I like the play on words -- it sounds like Lazy (is) Fair! :-D
So lately I have been collecting really REALLY easy recipes that taste like I have slaved for ours. I picked up a few in the last couple of weeks from my family reunion. We are talking eyes rolling in back of head good and swirly brains from how simple it is to make. So the next few recipes are from the Baker Boys reunion and come from my Aunt Deedee. I certify that they are so easy and yummy that guests will not be able to tell you threw it all together!
