I love instant :-) in many things but I much prefer longer cooking grits! I'm a southerner through and through
ReplyDeleteWhen I was working, instant ruled my day. Now that I'm retired I enjoy taking time especially when it comes to food.
DeleteCheers!
Only coffee is allowed to be instant in our kitchen April. I like the slow and steady approach:)
ReplyDeleteI is for Ishq
When it comes to food, I usually cook from scratch. Reheating however never seems fast enough, even in the microwave! LOL
DeleteWhen I stop to think about it, I realize even at age 70, I am a slave to the world of INSTANT gratification. It's not just the kids...LOL!

Yeah, I hear ya! I can too frequently be found standing in front of the microwave while reheating my coffee, drumming my fingers and muttering "hurry up!" Seriously?!
