I Hate Dinner Anything


















Let me preface this post by captioning the photographic evidence above by saying that I can cook.  My food tastes good and I know what I am doing in the kitchen, so to speak.

To reiterate the post title...  I Hate Dinner Anything.  I hate planning, shopping, cutting or thinking of cutting coupons. I hate chopping, boiling, roasting, frying.  I hate it ALL.  Thinking of making dinner is enough to put me in a bad mood.  I am close to a few women who "love to cook".  I envy them tremendously, bless them.  I am not such a woman.  I hate feeding myself.  I hate feeding my family.  If I could hire a full time chef and live in a two bedroom apartment I would.  Ok, I think you are starting to get the picture.  Cooking + Me= not friends.

I don't even like eating food I have prepared.  Even if it is something I normally (meaning normally someone else prepares my food) love to eat and find to be delicious.  I really just don't enjoy it.

I love food when it's prepared for me.  I daydream about food.  I look on food websites and Pinterest all sorts of food.  And then I dream about someone else making it for me.  I know all the good spots and restaurants. Sadly, I bet if you asked my girls what they wanted to eat, they would probably name eateries or a location, not an actual food.

Right now I should have cooked dinner, but it's 7:38 and I am having my eldest daughter look in the freezer for something to microwave so I don't have to order pizza or wake up the baby and go through a drive through.  I could make some pasta, side of veggies or a salad.  But that sounds like a really horrible experience for me.

I know I can't be the only person with this kind of cooking aversion.  Maybe I'll Google it and see if I can work some "self-help" magic.
