I'd like to revisit my previous mention of Ryan's concern over my lack of cooking.
I've told him numerous times that I don't enjoy cooking. Or baking. I do it for him because I love him and I want him to eat real, fresh food every now and again. However, more often than not, I find myself solo during the dinner hour. Now, I suppose, if I had people to cook for, I might learn to enjoy it. But, it's 8:45pm and Ryan is stuck with clients and so why in the world would I cook a real meal when I can throw a Lean Cuisine in the microwave?
I'll tell you why. Because it's easier than standing over a hot stove for an hour. And I can think of...oh...about 476 things I'd rather do than cook for myself.
That's all I have to say.

I eat Kashi cereal, a cheese tortilla, PBJ or a hard boiled egg when Mike isn't home. Nutrition goes out the window. No need to cook for one.
I always thought I would be a "cooker" but it is hard to cook for small numbers, I have found - especially one. I don't think it will get any easier.
Well on this certain topic I could not be more different. Occasionally I have days when I do not want to cook, but for me at least, after sitting in front of a computer all day, nothing sounds better than standing in the kitchen and making something for an hour or so. I like to come home from work and get to work making dinner- it is like a therapy for me. And if Ben is gone late studying, then I just have an excuse to make a meal he doesn't like as much.
i hardly cook when joses isn't going to be home. but then i feel like we are eating so gross and unhealthy. but i have 476 other things to be doing too!
i suggest someone read janet malcolm of new yorker magazine fame. she's made cooking and writing a simbiotic act and when i read her stuff, it makes me want to cook more myself. i will search for stories from her.
