DP Daily Prompt: Handmade Tales
Automation has made it possible to produce so many objects—from bread to shoes—without the intervention of hands(assuming that pressing a button doesn’t count). What things do you still prefer in their traditional, handmade version?
Automation has its place in our lives, we are living in an age when time is of utmost importance, some of us leave one job to go to another, if that’s the case who has time to cook . This is when ready made food comes in handy. Assembly line products are welcome most of the time.
Having said that, I do like to cook food from scratch when time permits, no matter how easy it is to buy a TV dinner that we can stick in the microwave oven and within minutes we get a hot meal.
There is a certain charm of cooking food by hand,for starters it won’t smell the same or will have the same flavor.After a while one gets tired of ready made food. I know I will. When I cook I have the privilege of making it spicy or use less spices according to how I feel that particular day.
While automation gives us freedom to do other things that require our immediate attention, when we cook food ourselves we make sure it is something tasty and not harmful for our well-being.

This is such a great point how food made by hand tastes so much nicer than the food in packets we buy!
Thank you Lita.
Dear Ranu,
Thank you for sharing this about automation and human-made endeavors. There will always be some things – like cooking, music, and art – through which the human spirit flows. These cannot be replaced by automation.
All good wishes,

I agree with you, Robert.
Although I’m not an expert cook, I would still prefer a simple homemade meal over the ready made ones which are full of preservatives and artificial flavours.
Yes I’m also afraid of the preservatives they use, thank you Sonya.
