The world has become more complex as technology and easy travel mixes cultures without homogenizing them.

How can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes packaged cake mixes frozen dinners and instant cameras teach patience to its young?

When I got to France I realized I didn't know very much about food at all. I'd never had a real cake. I'd had those cakes from cake mixes or the ones that have a lot of baking powder in them. A really good French cake doesn't have anything like that in it - it's all egg power.

Before now I've always taken my mixes out to the car and listened to them in the parking lot. I still do that but more so now I'm listening to it on the Beat box and I think people should give it at least a listen and check it out and see what it is.
