Are you really gonna eat that?

Actually that sounds pretty good, I'd try it.

 

I would love to share recipes with you. I'm a vegetarian that's always looking for new recipes to try.

 

Food-related confession: I can’t remember the last time I cooked something at home. DoorDash has become an all too familiar and dangerous friend, and I need to be cut off.

I’ve been an on/off again subscriber to Blue Apron going on over a decade (wherever does the time go?), though more often lately I’m skipping deliveries if I have a busy week ahead or there’s travel involved. When I forget to skip in time, meal boxes will come but I won’t cook the food and it’ll go to waste. Fuck.

I was gifted a coupon for a free box of ready-to-eat meals from Factor. Assuming I like it, I need to calculate out whether subscribing to them would be more economical than continuing to dump money into Door Dash, and whether I could—or would want to—potentially combine Factor and Blue Apron and still come out ahead. I hate math.

I like cooking, but I’m also lazy. Keeping the Blue Apron subscription going would give me an outlet for preparing meals if and when I wanted, combined with the ease of Factor’s more nutritious low-effort options.

It seems to make no difference to Kelly, as in she never complains that I don’t cook. Sometimes I think I’d be more inclined to cook for both of us if she expressed any interest/desire/excitement over what I prepare, but that just isn’t there. Ever.

Meanwhile she’ll eat whatever, including McDonald’s delivered on a regular basis. We’ve both been eating like shit for months. And it shows.

It needs to stop.

 

After almost 25 years in the field of food cooking for myself is not something I do.
I enjoy cooking for other people and I'm lucky that two of my best friends have decided to break through my wall of antisocial introvertdom and avail upon my hospitality, so I cook twice a week.
Otherwise I'd be eating meals that consist largely of tortillas and chocolate peanut butter every night.

 

I've often wondered how you handle cooking, being a former chef and being single.
