yah, my roommate paid for the lobsters.

and yes, i've thought about cooking with more expensive ingredients but i don't really see the point unless it's to impress someone with "luxury" ingredients. for me, the whole point of cooking is deliciousness (and balanced nutrition, i guess)...if I can accomplish that with inexpensive goods, why bother spending more money?

how do you guys feel about that?

Mike, what you do is awesome but at least for me nothing beats a nice juicy steak. A lot of times premium ingredients are just what people like best. Not saying you wouldn't knock my socks off with the stuff you cook but if a nice cut of meat is on sale at a reasonable price I aint gonna pass it up.

I like your philosophy.

Personal taste is, by definition, subjective, no?

If I have a nice juicy steak and a plate of fried rice in front of me, I'm going for the fried rice 95/100 times. Thus, I cook the types of food that I enjoy eating, ldo.

It's also really easy finding all the ingredients for this sorta stuff in my San Fran neighborhood. Back when I lived in Evanston, Illinois, I couldn't find ANY of the necessary ingredients. I sorta morph my style to what's readily available. For instance, if I moved to the Mission district, I'm sure I'd start cooking more Mexican/latin food.
