It’s impossible to get better at cooking than eating in a restaurant. Already the fact that someone else is making that food is enough to make it better than any food i have and will ever cook and I’ve been cooking since teenage years, nearly 20 years. Every single day. Fuck. Eating, cooking, planning, balancing, considering others, basically everything involving it is a rather annoying chore and it has to be done whole life.
No I’m not bad at cooking, average, I’ve just grown to resent this activity.
I await the day we invent a food pill or at least one in all superfood or i can at least start eating current foods that claim to be all in one foods for every meal. Wife already looks at me weird when i eat my breakfast slop multiple times a day.
Yeah, I find that putting effort into a rote chore makes it feel terrible. Like the laundry. Making an exciting new meal, it can taste great. But once it becomes a chore, the taste is worse because of the memory of the work.
I’ve found the opposite. If something becomes a routine chore, it can be optimized and almost trained into muscle memory. So the effort put into it actually lowers.
Like I’ve already done it for breakfast and it’s one of the best foods, because it takes so little effort to make it, eat it, requires absolutely no thinking and can be repeated infinitely.
