    It’s baffling to me that people actually enjoy cooking. I don’t, and likely would just starve if left to my own devices.

    Luckily, my partner loves cooking (we have a pretty symbiotic relationship). When I offer the help, the response is usually, “Stay over there, out of the way, and look pretty” lol

      When I feel bad I go all out with cooking. Either trying a new dish or making one that takes a lot of time. Helps me keep my mind off of things and the end result is amazing food.

      I like cooking in general tho, but the most time consuming dishes I make when I feel like shit.

      I’m not sure anyone enjoys every facet of cooking. The dishes, the cleaning, the prep… These are hard work. But the results can be very gratifying.

      Pretty sure my first wife said exactly that. And we cooked well together! But yeah, get the fuck out of my workspace.
