There is a movement in America to get us back into the kitchen, even if it is for only a short time. I think that's why people like Rachel Ray are popular. She's showing us that you don't have to spend hours to make a reasonably wholesome meal from scratch as long as you plan ahead. That's not a bad concept. It's a far cry from what Julia Child proposes for cooks, but at least it gets some of us who are really busy back into the kitchen for a brief period of time!

Do you think Michael Pollan's message would spread as far or reach as wide an audience without technology? Think of the world wide dialog that could be taking place right now on getting back in the the kitchen. I think the younger generation will suprise us with the way they use technology and they will find a way back into the kitchen we don't even see.

Whether it's simply sitting on our rears watching television, or feeling we need to take another Facebook quiz, it all seems to supersede actually doing something productive for ourselves, like cooking!

I was questioning whether technology allows us to communicate our ideas more efficiently thereby enabling the get back into the kitchen movement or whether it is our modern technology (and the way approach it)that leads us out of the kitchen. Silents, Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y, and Millenials probably approach technology and cooking from different points of view. I wasn’t being that specific.

I doubt that twittering and tweeting will get us back in, however, there are some aps that show promise. have you seen any of the recipe search or shopping list aps. They show potential, I just haven't selected mine yet.

I was going to recommend that story to you but I had to finish the crossword puzzle first. I wonder if we will twitter and tweet our way back to the kitchen or will we do it without apps and technology? Who knew you read the NY Times.
