I'd rather not make nice things just for myself, but cooking for two or more is fun. I usually just eat rice and beans.

not all of us have this option

i had so much more time and, more importantly, energy that i don't have now. then again, my work is pretty physically demanding.

elmo OTM all over the place. i was actually just talking about this with friends on friday: i find ingredient/food shopping WAY less stressful/more fun than clothes shopping
i usually can't balance wanting to see a movie after work with cooking for myself on weeknights, tho
― eastern european pale skin dark hair small boobs wife (donna rouge), Tuesday, 24 August 2010 15:16 (fourteen years ago) link
look, either ya kno how to cook, or ya don't
me, put me in a kitchen with a frying pan and you'll come out with a calamity
― janice (surm), Tuesday, 24 August 2010 15:17 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah tho i must admit that knife skills / a well-stocked pantry / an arsenal of cookware are all pretty crucial and take a little time to acquire but the end satisfaction is more than worth it

plus -- it's chemistry! you turn stuff into other stuff! and then -- you eat it!

i could stand some improvement in the knife skills dept, tbh
xp haha yes!

yeah but that's the thing elmo
it is chemistry
and not all of us are chemists ok
― janice (surm), Tuesday, 24 August 2010 15:24 (fourteen years ago) link
I cook very simple things on weeknights: chicken breasts, couscous, pork chops, tossed salads, etc. Never mind the expense: if I ate canned food or ate out every night I'd look like Jabba.

Plus, it's fun to try and fail to cook an ambitious dish. I received no formal cooking instructions other than watching Mom and Dad for a couple of years and suddenly being left to my own devices upon moving out.

also ALSO i hate cooking cuz i'm impatient. i never think about food unless i'm hungry, in which case i want the food NOW.
i eagerly await elmo's feast.

I was going to post on that thread, elmo. I'm sorry to hear it. At least you weren't there, like I was when my house was burgled twenty years ago.

elmo OTM about cooking being about the pleasure of process. My sister is in town this week and we made stir fry last night. So good.
Sorry to hear about the apartment. I just moved into a big ground floor place which used to be a spa - huge windows - and will now def be warier. People are dicks.

OK So in addition to my mom calling me in Philly yesterday and telling me that my room sort of flooded and that the carpet's soaking wet against and two feet extending from this one wall (where I had a ton of boxes stored), I come home and find that she took this GIANT pot of soup that I made out of the fridge to get something behind it, and just left it on the counter overnight. Was v time consuming and not cheap either, and I had gotten to eat a total of one (1) bowl of it.
Thanks, mom.

hey gays, on Wed night I attended a live radio broadcast where someone uttered the phrase "Sophie Tucker's cunt."
This morning at 4, I closed a local bar w/ a guy I've had a crush on forever and pressed my card into his hand as he was unchaining his bike.
That is all.
