Cooking is the kind of daily routine that you do to feed family and friends. But there are people who do it because it's so fun. Yeah, sure, it can be disastrous, but it can also be awesome. Being a person who hates routine, I tend to research a lot, collect recipes, experiment, and try them out to see the reaction from the people I feed.
It's the kind of joy only people who love to spread joy to the people around them.
I know there are people who simply cook or make simple stuff for the sake of survival...and that's perfectly fine. Nobody should judge anyone in these circumstances. And there are so many different ways to cook too! So exciting.
Just like marketing, writing, and singing...things right up my alley.
Bottom line is this - mopping the floor every weekend and ironing clothes is the most painful things for me. You do them and then you have to do them over and over again. Where's the fun in that? But I am sure there are people who thrive on that.
We are just made different. Our priorities lie at the other end of the spectrum where we find satisfaction of being alive.
Whenever I try something different (exotic recipes I got from the internet) and they like it, there is so much pleasure. I give up on eating anything. Watching them devour everything (teenagers are hungry people, mind you) is so satisfying.
I have not been cooking for the past few years, sadly. Ever since the pandemic lockdown where I felt the brunt of the complete lockdown, I enjoyed the convenience of delivery food, without calculating the cost of relying on them.
Cooking at home is fun, guys. It's cumbersome and absolutely tiring but it's worth it.
