As time wore on and as my weight dropped precipitously my mother and I both relented somewhat from our earlier positions. These books contained many helpful tips which added to my cooking acumen. One of the early lessons I learned about cooking is that the use of spices can make the difference between a meal one can just barely gag down and another night of fasting. The judicious use of bachelor spice staples such as Tabasco Sauce and salt have improved many a meal at Chez Loeffler. No spice is as important however, as garlic powder.
Garlic powder is a veritable manna for bachelors.
After several years of experimenting I am pleased to report, much to my mother s disbelief and chagrin, that I am able to prepare meals. I am sharing some of my more frequently used recipes. Pop Tart Remove pop tart from foil wrapper. Sprinkle with garlic powder to taste. Cereal Pour cereal into bowl.
