Kitchens

I love the poster/saying "I only have a kitchen because it came with the house".....these days those are my sentiments exactly.
I can cook.
I have been doing it forever and I dare say, I do it well.
I have been with partners who have trouble locating the forks and spoons as if they just moved in yesterday.
The current one is proficient with tuna fish. The other had a shorter menu!
Why do I have to prove it over and over again that I can do it? I'm tired.
I enjoy eating out more frequently than we can afford but look forward to the simplest of meals prepared by a stranger.
Not thinking about the meal.
Not food shopping.
Not collecting the ingredients.
Not preparing it.
Not cleaning up.
All is solved by eating someone else's efforts.   Brilliant!
Thankfully the other  current  resident is usually easy and doesn't mind leftovers so I often over prepare on purpose.
I'm tired.
Please don't make me go in the kitchen....

I'm not into cooking much either. When my boyfriend is out of town I live on soup, cereal, salad and brown rice. But he's a meat eater so I have to try and come up w/ dinner at least the day he gets back into town. After that he does the cooking.

Love the picture! I can cook, but there are days when, like you, I just don't want to bother. At. All.

I want good food, but I don't want to be the one who made it.

I am even simpler than JoJo. When others aren't relying on me to cook, I can live on cereal and Ramen noodles for a really long time.
