/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Honestly, like 90% of all recipes are too much trouble to make. I live alone so all of the shopping, cooking, and cleaning up is 100% on me. While I do enjoy cooking, after years and years of it there just is not enough motive to do anything complicated. Not that we can't do it, or don't appreciate it, its just all so tiresome. There is nobody to share it with, or to impress, its just me. Repeat every day for 25 years, and its obvious where this is headed. Cooking is a highly repetitive activity with low reward that needs to be optimized for absolutely maximum efficiency. Imagine reaching the end of your life realizing a good 25% of your waking hours revolved around feeding yourself. What an extreme waste of effort. This is just as bad as burning 2 hours a day stuck in traffic.
