In my apartment, food is constantly being messed with. We never eat pasta sauce right out of the jar. Instead we feel the need to add our own garlic, basil, TVP, parmesan, etc. to get it just right. Today for lunch, I added rice, a chopped tomato, basil leaves, and rosemary to a perfectly good-on-its-own tomato soup from Trader Joe's.
I know that part of the reason I like adding stuff to prepared food is because it just feels healthier when it has an element that was not frozen, boxed, or otherwise pre-packaged. And another part is maybe arrogance that I can make it better by making it uniquely me. But sometimes it also feels a little bit insane.
Do any of you guys have a food-doctoring obsession?
