Chained To the Kitchen Range

[poliphilo]

Mary Berry was piping stiffened egg white onto a baking tray. The end product was going to be an enormous, sticky confection of meringue and berries. "I've made this many times, " she said, "And I love every minute of it." And I thought, "Hmmm..."

I don't hate cooking. Sometimes I think its quite good fun. But other times I get weary of the slog of having to put food on the table several times a day. Right now- or last night to be more precise- I was thinking, "I've cooked this shit, do I really have to eat it as well? Hasn't it wasted enough of my time?"

I also have the problem of being disinterested in food when I've prepared it myself.

I've just had three nights in a row of other people's cooking (from restaurants I like) and it's been blissful. If I could afford to live this way I would.

I think I would too. We eat in a restaurant roughly once a week. That's all we can afford.
