Outsourcing

Five things I am delighted to devour, provided someone else does the cooking:

1. Foie gras.
Who wants to deal with the outraged ducks?
2. Macarons
Too hard keeping the pronuncation straight.
3. Shrimp quenelles
Leave it to the French to elevate a cross between gefilte fish and salmon patties into an art form. Bring on the cheese and heavy cream.
4. Doughnuts
I am hopeless with yeast-based foods. And this is a good thing.
5. Red velvet cupcakes with buttercream frosting.
They release my inner Daffy Duck. ("They're mine! All mine!")

And you? What are your favorite foods out?

  2. I outsource ice cream. I even have an ice cream maker, but Fosselman's is better.

  4. Oh gosh. Anything. I never got the foodie gene. I've learned how to cook a few things because it's too expensive to eat out all the time, but if I could hire a chef to cook all my meals I would. I'd rather clean house than cook. I think this officially makes me a bad person.

  6. Thai food. All the recipes take 20+ ingredients. Tastes great, but let someone else fuss.

  7. I'm with you on the macarons & donuts. Also baguettes, yogurt (yuck!), cookies you have to roll out with a rolling pin, whole fish (don't like cleaning them), and creme brulee.

  8. Easier to list the few things I can do. But I never make sweets, I can ruin a fish, and the savory pastry thingies I love are totally beyond me.

  9. I suddenly have a craving for a variety of foods, and a clean house!
    Petrea--this is a scold free zone!
