cooking

I've been doing it most nights for a long time now.

It's getting increasingly expensive, increasingly time consuming and I'm sick of it.

I don't want to do it any more.

Can I stop?

I'd be willing to also stop eating dinner if that's what it cost.

  1. I will agree that cooking meals is becoming increasingly expensive - I'm finding it very hard to stick to our budget and getting enough items to cook with for the week.

    Don't know if it will help, but there has been a little bit of a discussion over on Nicole's blog about meal planning.

  2. I don't want to plan. I don't want to do it at all!

    [this is me throwing a tantrum.]

    Easy recipes. Lots of choices.

  6. I'm with you. Right from the planning (or not planning) to buying, cooking, cleaning up, storing left-overs. Creativity can only stretch so far. Those times when you feel particularly domestic and ..specific about what you want.. are fine -- but just everyday meals? Blah.

  7. You could always... teach your kids to cook! Ha ha, I hope you have more success than I have had with mine:"Mum, help! I forgot to put the water in the two minute noodles!"

  8. Fasting.

    (It's cheap, quick and it's even Biblical...)

  9. I must say, if I plan, I really enjoy cooking, if I don't plan, I hate it. But yes, are you exposing your boys to enough Masterchef?
