I’m not a good cook by any means, but trying to bullshit together recipes is one of life’s great joys. i wanna try to actually get a good enough under of cooking that i can make fr recipes, but for now i stick to silly 2-meal hybrids.

One of the true joys of cooking is going to the grocery store with only a vague concept of what you want for dinner, and then improvising something beautiful in the kitchen afterwards
Break the rules, make a pasta the wrong way, add white wine to sprite, burn the hell out of your herbs - something delicious might be returned to you as a result

When she was in her early 20s, my mom made a little recipe book that she would pass on to her kids—she abandoned it after a few entries, but gave me the book nonetheless. I wish I knew how to cook, so I could finish the book and pass it down to my own kids, but the most I can do is a good scrambled egg, and rice (I can cook other things too but these are what taste the best). I’ve always admired those people who eyeball ingredients and use instinct to decide whether their stew needs more flavouring or not; those people who walk into a kitchen and cook up a storm because it’s second nature to them. Not to mention, I’m a super picky eater so often times I prefer to prepare my own meals at home, than to have someone else do it for me. If I can just learn how to cook food—the type of food that my kids will know me and remember home for—my entire life would be complete.

Not to be that guy but cooking really is my sanity... any time I feel like a weirdo or a slug or a bump on a log I find a recipe in a cookbook or nyt cooking that I already have the ingredients for and I spend 2x the estimated time making it and by the end I feel way better AND I have a delicious meal to eat...
