Writer's Block: Home Cooking
I'm answering this mainly because I can't answer it. I honestly cannot remember the last time I cooked a meal for myself at home that was not something microwavable, something you can cook just by adding hot water (ramen noodles) or something reheated from leftovers from a local restaurant.
Not that I haven't been eating healthy -- I've been largely avoiding fast food places and such -- but I don't enjoy cooking and I travel enough that I don't tend to keep stuff in the house to cook with. My freezer has a mind of its own and regularly defrosts itself -- to the point that my ice cubes actually, over the course of a couple of weeks, shrink and then disappear without a trace -- so prepping stuff and leaving it in the freezer until I come home from the next travel swing isn't really an option.
But it did surprise me that I seriously cannot remember the last time I cooked any kind of actual meal. Whenever that last mean was, it was most likely a pasta dish with bottled sauce.
