At a conference last December, Stephen W. Sanger, chairman and chief executive of General Mills Inc., noted the sad state of culinary affairs and described the kind of e-mails and calls the company gets asking for cooking advice: the person who didn't have any eggs for baking and asked if a peach would do instead, for example; and the man who railed about the fire that resulted when he thought he was following instructions to grease the bottom of the pan -- the outside of the pan.
Sadly, these people probably fall into what I call the Soft Seven. They are the people who don't really have any political ideology, but vote strictly on likability, break late somewhat en masse to a single candidate, and usually decide who gets to be the president of the United States. Ugh.
