Everything has a smell. I'd like to believe some things don't
   smell, but they do. All food rots.* There is no preservative
   that allows food to retain its value as food perfectly, nor do I
   believe there is a perfect version of any food. But I know that
   the ingredients we have is the ingredients we have.* There may
   be more ingredients and ways to combine things that we currently
   think of as food, yet it's also possible that this is it and
   what you find in the supermarket is all there is.* I honestly
   don't know. Someday I'll cook every recipe I ever read. There's
   other cooks of course.* They make foods too and I really dont
   HAVE to cook, but what if I have to cook for myself?* I should
   learn. I can cook very quickly and efficiently, using as many or
   as few ingredients as necessary.* I don't even make a mess in
   the kitchen and I clean up after myself when I do. But I'm not
   worried. There will always be SOMETHING to eat, even if it's not
   what I want. Of course I'd LOVE to be able to cook what
   pre-literate people who lived before Hieroglyphics but since
   they didn't write it down, I don't have a copy. But their
   recipes aren't LOST; since we have the same raw ingredients,
   more or less that they did, we can eat what they ate, or at
   least something close to it. We have imagination, which is
   strong enough for us to imagine what they MIGHT have eaten and
   make foods based on that.* Imagination is the closest thing to
   authentic pre-literate human cooking as we can get.
