there is very little in this world that i hate doing more than cooking

and there is very little in this world that my parents hate more than cartoons

so i thought it was a fair trade off

my mum was like /SIGH

dad kind of enjoyed it tho

his comments were

"it's very well produced, i like the soundtrack."

i think i will just continue to show them one or two episodes every time i have to cook '-'

my mum was like "what are you going to do when you live by yourself" i was just like "um frozen dinners obviously"

look i will happily bake you a cake

or brownies or cookies

or make chocolate truffles (actually next on my to do list!) or chocolate mousse

i just hate actual cooking 8(

and i do all the washing up usually so it's not like i am not helping out

i baked a whole loaf of banana bread to have for breakfast this week and last week i cleaned the whole house

just don't ask me to cook

that said, lemon pepper chicken actually did taste pretty good and the recipe was real simple

but ugh such a hassle for so little reward.

Baking cakes and such is fun. Actual cooking is boring, though. :|

pretty much

....i. i don't understand

baking is following exacts. cooking is experimenting with everything!!

i dislike baking because it's tedious XD

I like cooking when it's all trying to get the timing right :3

like whoo juggling three things at once

i live on frozen dinners, you'll be okay

ryface: that's why i like it! when it's exact you can't stuff up.

when i get to experimenting i stuff up

other reasons i dislike cooking: time consuming for very little payoff, and the handling of raw meat

ugh feeling the texture of raw meat makes me gag

i am a very tactile person :x

yeah okay that is fair i love eating meat but fuck if i wanna touch it raw

WEIRDLY I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH RAW SEAFOOD but raw meat sdfnjksfdnsdn

haha I have all sorts of tactile issues with icky things but raw meat has never set it off

hahaha HALF MY PROBLEM with cooking is the raw meat situation

if someone else wants to cut and handle the raw meat

i will happily do the other preparations

:|a wear gloves

or wrap it in plastic or something

latex gloves (like the kind they use in surgery) don't help because you can still feel it through the latex

and thicker gloves make it difficult to get anything done and also be sanitary / cost efficient

(we have boxes and boxes of wear once and then throw away disposably latex gloves at home because, doctor household)

disposable*

that bad, huh

you could do things that involve large bits of meat you don't have to touch much! Like roasts

yeah :\

ugh roasts

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE COOKING PART OF ROASTS

my problem with roasts lies primarily in the eating part

because it's my mother's signature dish

o

whenever she doesn't know what to do for dinner we have roast

all roasts ever?

like there are a lot of things you can roast...

it is pretty convenient that way

yeah we eat roast everything approximately twice a week every week

since i was little

it's gotten to the point where i just look at roast and feel my appetite fading away...

ohhhh

orz

yeah

i can still eat it, it's just... not my preferred dish of choice

n-no fair enough

anyway god i said i was going to bed

really bed now!! night <3

night!

one of my things since moving out has been getting a repertoire of halfarsed recipes together. would you be interested if I posted them?

absolutely

when I say halfarsed, I basically mean defrost meat + marinade + heat = DINNER

when mum told me to make dinner yesterday i went to look up my internet bookmarks to see if there was anything i'd bookmarked over the years

so your only washing up is a chopping board and a frypan

that looked quick and easy to make

and that was basically the only one lmao

everything else was desserts

/snrk

righto, I'll see about putting as many of those together as I can think of there's... not a whole lot BUT STILL

also half of them use basil or mint because the stuff grows like a weed in our herb garden. it's awesome

oh we imported our herb garden here do not worry haha

sweet X)
