Do you manage to cook every day?

chloe40Administrator•3 years ago•15 Voters

Yes, I always cook, regardless

No, I can't be bothered anymore

I buy meals for one

What's the point

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.

That's great Floxxy

I've heard batch cooking is the best way!

It saves so much time and also prevents waste.

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

You must be a proficient cook by now Greyone and good for you, it's a skill worth knowing <3
