Pumps' Perplexities

TV has been flooded with the cooking "bug"......Morning news
shows have cooking segments and we have a TV cable
channel devoted to cooking 24/7 along with Martha Stewart's
re-runs or new programming.....

My question is where to you buy the ingredients which are
used by these shows.....The "Chefs" use cuts of meat which
are unattainable to the "common man"....Butcher Shops are
now DOA and the supermarket does not "pre-package" any
of the special cut used by the chefs.....On the Today Show
a chef used a "Spanish Smoked Paprika"....Try to find it in your
local market......

While there are some shows which prepare food for the
"common man".....There are too many which make us feel very
"uncommon"......Pumps
