I’m really horrible at cooking, so I prepare myself the simplest of meals. Examples include: putting sugar in the microwave in order to make caramel and creating a little fire hazard, microwaving noodle soup with a raw egg in it hoping it would both boil the water and cook the egg (it just exploded and it took some minutes to clean up properly), making what I thought was pancake batter mostly with eggs and then eating something that resembled omelettes covered in maple syrup more than pancakes, burning most of the rice and undercooking/overcooking most of the meat I eat (and up until recently I would just put the heat on max because “why would you waste time?”), etc etc. Thankfully, my palate is underdeveloped so I can live with my “cooking”, but my wife evidently hates it and tries to keep me as far away from the kitchen as possible unless I’m there to clean, lol.
My ex was a terrible cook. Like one day I was walking home and smelled smoke, hoping against hope it was not coming from my house, only to find he had burned my good pot because he was boiling water and boiled it all away and burned the pan.
He practiced, and got so good at cooking he was hired as a chef .
I firmly believe anyone who likes food and wants to learn to cook can learn to cook.
Damn, that’s a 180 if I’ve ever seen one! I lived by myself for about a decade and, honestly, I never wanted to learn to cook cause it always felt like such a chore… but I also don’t mind eating plain rice and a can of tuna every day so there ya go. 🤷😅
