I have to do it all again? Every day?

Just enjoy the process of cooking and eating. Try being in the moment. It's a journey

Don't forget how cooking and cleaning up took longer than the eating!

This is why I eat a lot of frozen pizzas and veggies burgers, etc. I also like to graze on cheese, fruit, nuts, and bread.

Pro: it's been a great way to maintain my weight.

Make enough to yield leftovers. Duh. Leftovers are the best.

“Maintain your weight” for what? A possibly longer life of eating frozen pizza? Ew.

I thought this thread was going to be about bacon.

Have a drink. Watch some Netflix.
Maybe some dessert.
Don’t cry.
It will get better.

I make a really awesome chicken curry, a recipe I created after years of trying different curry recipes online and from cookbooks. It’s full of flavor and heat and I love it so much I eat it just about every other week. I make a big batch which takes a few hours for all the chopping and cooking and simmering the flavors together - but then I don’t have to cook for a week because it’s right there in the fridge waiting for me. When I dish out the last serving I’m always a little bit sad.

Some people cannot stand to eat the same thing day after day but I definitely can, so long as the thing is terrific like my curry. Leftovers of a dish you love and that holds up well - gets better even! - to being in the fridge is one of life’s loveliest simple pleasures.

I was thinking this was 20 Questions about Ops favorite food.

Bacon would have been a good answer

I’m like this with Japanese curry. I eat it for days, sometimes with rice other times with udon. I always tell myself I’m going to freeze some and never do.

But re-heated chicken tastes awful, and that makes me sad. All those wonderful spices, and it's just so very sad.

Cool it again and make more this time
