I’m doing my meal planning and shopping for the week too. One of my least favorite chores.

I'll give you an idea if you give me one!!!

You’re a genius.

It’s not really cold out yet, but there is football on today so that calls for pot roast for some reason.

We should do this more often.

I was loving that recipe until I came to "Place on a rack over a sheet tray and place uncovered in the refrigerator for 12 to 48 hours" That is a level of commitment I am not quite ready for...

Meh. Or just add extra salt.

Cooking for one, occasionally for me and my kid, makes meal planning and cooking less fun.

Yes I get that. Now that my older daughter is in college, it’s harder to cook in the same way. I’m trying to adjust.

We should! There used to be a whole thread devoted to sharing recipes.

Understandable. It gives you a freedom to experiment and cook whenever you want. It also means there's leftovers to freeze for some night when you really don't feel like cooking.

Yes, it feeds my experimental parts (at war with my lazy parts, who are just as happy to drink a vegetable smoothie and then balance it out with a bowl of Count Chocula). But cooking for someone I care about is one of my main love languages.

Count Chocula, really? No Reeses Pieces cereal?

Cooking as a love language is a wonderful thing... till your heart gets repeatedly broken by your own spawn.

Count Chocula is the only breakfast cereal I eat, and it is crack. Just saying.

One of the things I liked about the pandemic lockdown (yes, there was something I liked!) was I got to do all the cooking. I was still married at the time, and my kid's boyfriend (who was new at the time), hung around. I pretty much fed him for a year. And his parents don't cook, and he loved anything I made, so I was trying all this new stuff. A lot of Indian food, which my ex and kid would have screamed over, but they found they liked it.

Four years later, he is still with her. I have taught him how to cook (coq au vin was his graduation test) and how to drive (because his parents didn't want to do that either).

I don't want to adult today but I didn't adult yesterday and two days in a row is just not ok.

I hope my tomatoes survived the night, I should go uncover them and check

What a crazy game!

I went from being 44 at the start of the game to 58 at the end of the game

Yes, my daughter lives with me about half the week, and her mom the other half. With college, the only night I know for sure she will be here is on Mondays, as we have had a standing date for "Dinner and Buffy" Night. (I started her on Buffy the Vampire Slayer when she was 16. We just completed all seven seasons, with all five seasons of Angel, concurrent by season. Just started her on Firefly.) So it is the one night I know I am cooking for her.

Hopefully just saving all the energy for a big second half. But that first half? Woof. Not what you wanted to see.

I was getting ready to start throwing things. Don't ruin my reputation and tell anyone, okay?

Sometimes, you just need to be a judgemental shithead. But keeping it to yourself is probably the best idea.
