A Simple meal

What’s your favorite thing to cook?

Simple healthy nourishment

I like simple.

I like to cook, I used to love it. Of all the household tasks, my favorite was and maybe still is, cooking. I would way rather knock my self out cooking than doing laundry or cleaning for example. I didn’t have a choice back then, it was my whole life to knock myself out doing all of it, I just liked cooking best.

Now I can stand back and reflect. Cooking is often time consuming and work! If a person loves measuring and processes and stirring and timing, cooking might be a fun hobby. It’s definitely more creative than vacuuming. I might enjoy kitchen work now and then, but I probably prefer a meal that is straight forward like lamb chops or a burger or a peice of fish with a salad or a vegetable. Prepared with someone, not as much for someone.

I haven’t cooked alone in years, since before the pandemic. I guess I’ve learned that I like collaborative meal preparation. I like cooking simple things, spiced up and delicious, but attention-span friendly. Even a soup or stew is better if I put it together with ease and leave it to simmer without any elaborate extra work.
