"I don't cook"
Jan. 8th, 2019 12:54 pmI often say, both to myself and to others, that "I don't cook, I can cook, but I just don't find it worth cooking for just myself". And in moments of self-reflection I wonder if this is a valid statement -- or is it some patriarchical bull-shit that I think to feel better about myself.
But, looking at this last vacation in Mexico, I think it is a reasonable statement. I cooked breakfast for our group (2 the first week, 3 the second week) every morning. What I made varied from day-to-day, and was made from a combination of primary (e.g. eggs, potatoes, onions) and secondary (e.g. salsa, chorizo, tortillas) ingredients. I also cooked a lunch on the day Kate arrived. And, I think the food generally turned out well.
And, this is consistent with previous vacations to Mexico, as well. When it is convenient to cook for more than just myself, I am competent at it, and I do do so.
