Re: Hahaha my poor husband!

Hahaha!! I can soooo relate! I HATE cooking, because it takes so long (well, not really, but in my mind it does) and it’s such hard work. I am all for the quick and easy meals. Our microwave broke last week and we lived on toast and cereal for days until we got a new one, because it was just too hard to cook on the stove top – things tend to be forgotten on the stove!!

I also have to get out all the ingredients and put them away when I am done with each one, though I have had times where I have forgotten why I have an ingredient in my hand (to use it or to put it away). And I have also overlooked an ingredient and found it still sitting on the bench after I am all done. Or I have started off doubling a recipe, and then forgotten to double things halfway through and then wondered why the consistency isn’t right.

But I am totally with Sugargremlin in that I really avoid cooking as much as possible. It’s too much effort and concentration. But having kids makes it harder to avoid it, so I go for the quick and easy meals – frozen things are my favourite, as they have the added bonus that they don’t spoil when I forget to cook them within a set time frame!! I waste so much food because I forget I bought it and it then goes rotten, or I just cannot find the motivation to cook it before it goes off.
