Experimental Kitchen: Avocado and Egg Sandwich

[mutton_special]

I'm finally admitting it to myself. I hate cooking. I want to like it - it's healthier, saves you money, gives you more control, and is a great way to socialize. But given the option between a cold can of ravioli and cooking dinner, it's ravioli for me pretty much every time

Well, now, that makes good sense indeed! I added the spinach as an afterthought, so I didn't make any good plans for it. If I do this again, I will definitely try that.

I really just don't enjoy the process of cooking. I never have, unfortunately. I get impatient and it seems like so much work for so little payoff. I don't mind it as a one-time thing, like the time I made lefse (it ended up being a two-weekend project), because it's special! But when I do it every day, it just becomes mindless and kind of unpleasant. It's kind of like how some people enjoy driving a lot, and for others, it's a way to get from Point A to Point B. Still others loathe it and avoid it whenever possible.

I can do basics, I think. I mean, I can make pasta or rice (with things on top), boil eggs, make stir-fry, and even do a little baking. And of course, assemble cold ingredients into something I like! I have about ten recipes I know by heart and can make (baked squashes, some soups, egg or potato dishes, etc.). It's just really not something I ever think I'll actually like. I secretly hope that one day, I can just hire a cook, or live with someone who enjoys it.
