As an ex Barnsley bloke I believe the old saying that " if God invented anything finer than mushy peas, he kept em for himself"I do all my own cooking. It's a pleasure.
This brought me back to my early twenties. I couldn't cook worth a darn, no joke. At workplace potlucks I was assigned beverages or paper goods. I could make spaghetti sauce, eggs and a few other things, but mostly ate take-out or relied on roommates to cook and I'd clean up.I agree. Just get a basic cookbook at first, follow the directions, and voila! you are cooking. Basic cooking isn't all that complicated.
One of my young assistants at work was despairing of ever being able to cook. I asked her what she was trying to do, and she was trying exotic recipes that would have required a lot of knowledge and skill. I presented her with a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook (the one with the red checked cover -- they've been around forever) and pretty soon she was happily having great success and even bringing in things to share. You have to start with simple things, liking baking a chicken, making a stew, etc., which anyone can do if they can read and follow instructions, before you venture into trickier stuff.

I find the same thing. We go through a "let's eat our way through some of the freezer food" jag until some space is cleared, but then the cycle starts over again.Along same lines, I was going through my freezer, and realized I really have a lot of food stocked up. Starting to eat more from it.

What is a pie maker?I also use my pie maker to make then freeze beef pies from leftovers
I haven't either. This might be a great gift for my daughter...Wow. I’ve never seen one of these. Good idea.
I usually cook all my own meals, or pick something up once in a while.I am male, and my beloved wife passed away due to cancer. My wife looked after me, I am not ashamed to say that. Our life together was great, we did so much. We WERE joined at the hips. Since her passing I have had to learn so much about living, let alone living alone. I found a web site that was cooking for one. That gave me a kick in the butt to use some recipes that did not leave left overs. The fact that I did not have to eat the same dinner for three days improved my outlook on life. But you are right, meals from the grocery store, M&M Meats, and the like begin to taste like restaurants -- all the same. Have you tried any of the meals that are delivered and you have to prepare them?
