Our Kitchens Are Laboratories

When I first had a chemistry class and saw the counter tops and sinks it immediately reminded me of a kitchen. We mixed different chemicals and heated things up with Bunsen burners. We wrote down notes on reactions. We measured solutions and wore rubber gloves. It made me realize our kitchens are really no different than a laboratory. It is supposed to be our place to experiment and create the things our bodies need to live a long healthy life. So many people use their kitchens to socialize or think of it as a fast food counter. Walk-in, grab-it, microwave-it and go. Taking an easy route to cooking says you don't care about your future. You lose the basic skills needed to be an independent being capable of nourishing your body the right way. The next time you go to your kitchen I urge you to experiment and discover what your body needs to make it through this life.
