[...] I discussed here and here, there is a lot of talk these days about why people don’t cook as much as they used to. [...]

I hear you – there are many days when I can’t handle full-on cooking. I’m glad you’re having fun experimenting though – a new recipe a week is an excellent plan!

Such an interesting post. I really like to cook, but I have to admit sometimes it seems so stressful when I’m starving and just get back from the gym. I’m getting braver in the kitchen, though. And I try to make a new recipe at least once a week.
Have a wonderful day!

You’re totally right, GC – it’s hard to feel comfortable around recipes if you’ve never made any before. Unless of course you’re like me and you’re too stupid to realize that you could royally screw up your recipes…I had a lot of kitchen failures before I caught on to the whole cooking thing.

Have fun at Pilates!

I hear you. Our kitchen situation isn’t very ideal either and there are more nights than I’d like to admit when I can’t talk myself into using it.

We didn’t read The Way We Never Were but now I want to. It would definitely come in handy for a class I’m teaching next semester in a unit about love and marriage…

I think people often hear the term recipe and FREAK. I can sort of relate- the recipes and cooking I am MOST comfortable with, are things that have been passed down through my parents, and that I have SEEN them make. Even 30 min meals on food network, or some of the other quick-cooking shows can seem daunting to me. Just another reason to have healthy cooking as part of your children’s lifestyle from the beginning! I also think we are getting more and more busy, and are always stressed for time……not that that is an excuse for a big Mac!

anyway, i could go on, but I have Pilates, and don’t feel very articulate right now either!!

thanks for all of your supportive comments on my blog, Daria!!
wishing you a wonderful Thursday!! (I definitely just wrote WEDNESDAY!) HA!

I can’t say I’ve thought much about this subject. But I do have friends who thinks that cooking is sooo hard. They see my recipes, and they think it’s gonna take forever to cook a meal my themselves. And they don’t even trust themselves to follow a simple cookie recipe. So I think Michael Ruhlman might be right…

i grew up with home economics and we were taught to cook everything from scratch. i baked a lot more when i was a kid, now i don’t. i think the size of my kitchen has a lot to do with it. but that shouldn’t really be an excuse.
