I used to cook, we had a big family. I was pretty good cook as well, so l’m told. Had lots of friends etc… it never fazed me. Was just thinking about that today funnily enough & felt sad thinking back & how things have changed now. After my daughter died I just couldn’t concentrate. I’d leave things on the cooker & forget I d think I turned things on when I hadn’t. Now I couldn’t think of anything worse than having to cook a meal for family or friends just can’t concentrate & simply can’t be bothered. I cook when I have to but would happily live on sandwiches. ☹️

I often batch cook and freeze but try not to eat processed food at all.

mum was a compulsive cooker, even at the end we just swapped roles. So I always cook once each day - just a basic microwave.
