Okay maybe this isnt the best demographics here but like I mean as in if you know someone who’s Gen Z, do they have a “idk how to cook” issue?
(Please don’t be like “omg its easy, how could you not know” in the comments, be nice in the comments okay 🙈)
I think my secret is to do simple meals in batches. That way you only really cook once or twice a week.
For instance, my favorite meal is a tomato pasta thing, don’t know what it is called.
Dice up as much garlic as you want, fry this in oil, add 4 cans of crushed tomatoes, as much black pepper as you want, bay leaves and then cook until boiling. Remove bay leaves and add to pasta. Boom! your done. Can feed me for a week and for about $5-$6 of ingredients. I also add nutritional yeast for extra pep to it, but you can just do cheese if you roll that way.
Home cooking doesn’t have to be complex but it does take motivation to get started.
Still takes more energy than I have left in a day.
That is a shame, I hope your situation improves.
Thanks. It will be a race. When I get to retirement will older age rob me of as much energy as I currently burn on all the BS in life. Or will the extra free time dilute the BS enough to have some surplus energy again. I’m closer to retirement than I am to the day I started working. So there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.
So long as you can ignore taking on new BS, it should dilute. Easy to say, difficult to do depending on the person and circumstances.
