I'm starting to realize that we eat really good food in America. At least, all my friends and I do. I mean, even our food that comes from a can or frozen in a tray is pretty decent quality food these days. Sure, I can make better, most of the time, but it doesn't take a lot of effort in America to get good tasting food. I think it's ruining my dining experience.
I went to a restaurant tonight and just didn't enjoy the food. Not enough for the price I paid anyway. It was alright, but not any better than something I could pop in the microwave. I had a ravioli type dish that was supposed to be filled with filet mignon, but I couldn't tell the filling from Chef Boyardee. I also ordered some saffron rissoto. I didn't eat more than a couple bites. It was the least creamy risoto I've ever had. Plus there was a ton of saffron in it. Saffron's not really supposed to be the main flavor, just a light flavoring plus some color. This stuff just wasn't good. Luckily for desert I got a lemon tart that was amazing. Light and fluffy with just a hint of lemon. Not too sweet but not sour.
Anyway, the point is, if I'm going to spend a lot of money of food, I want it to be better than the food I can have at home without doing any cooking of my own. I'm a pretty decent cook, so I'm not expecting it to be much better than what I can do, but you go out so you don't have to cook. Tonight I was disappointed and lately I've been feeling that more and more when I go to dinner. I've been so spoiled by good food I can't even enjoy paying too much for good food.
I'm getting tired. It's too late. I need sleep. Not making sense I'm thinking.
