The cooking part has never been the stress source for me. It's the cleaning and prep time. Those stress me out hilariously badly; and, even if I use the dish washer (which is wonderful and I do use), I'm only one person, cooking for one person. I don't have the discipline, focus, etc, to meal-prep; and, I don't make enough of a mess to run the dishwasher every day - .. though arguably it would *still* take less water than manually washing.
- actionfromafar 2y agoCook a huge stew and put 14 portions in the freezer?
- maccard 2y agoThis is how you never eat stew again. I’m a decent home cook, I do all the cooking for our household. About 10 years ago I made a delicious, but enormous daal. I ate it for 3 days, froze probably 10 portions if not more. Every time I opened the freezer, I saw daal. Every time I wanted a convenience meal for a month, daal. It felt like I ate nothing but daal for a month. I love daal. But I’ve not eaten it since
- actionfromafar 2y agoI think people have very different tolerances for low variety in food.
- maccard 2y agoDo you want to change this? Honest question. If you do, it is changeable. Start small. Grilled cheese, or pasta with jarred sauce. Once a week. It gets easier. But no shade if you are happy how things are
- shinycode 2y agoI understand and it happens to many people including myself. Maybe set yourself to do a nice easy meal once a week just for the pleasure and see how it builds up from that.
