IDK why I stopped. Tonight I cooked two dishes, it was the first time I cooked in at least two months. The last thing I cooked was split pea soup with ham; I had a few bowls then froze the rest. I thawed some out a couple weeks ago but I didn’t eat it fast enough and it went bad-had to throw it out.
Now tonight I made chicken stew. Took some prep work but it wasn’t that hard. It came out great. Cooked a turkey, sour cream, cream cheese, egg noodle cheesy casserole. It came out perfect. Again, not really that hard.
But I had spent way too much on groceries these past two months and I need to save money and I need variety in my diet. So hopefully I’ll get back into cooking.
I’ve learned that I really enjoy cooking in my old age. After a lifetime of avoiding it like the plague due to having a husband and son who usually didn’t appreciate my efforts. And they both, in their later years, confided to me that they actually always liked my cooking. So go figure.
