No. My husband only eats plain food and can't eat spicy stuff.
Won't eat other things. I'm limited in what I can make for dinner.
But being home does help with work stress and having more
energy at the end of the day.

My mom likes boring plain crap too. Idk how to cook like that and I refuse to learn. The 2 idiots I live with are both picky, but they eat what's put in front of them since neither can cook for themselves.

I've definitely been experimenting if only because my usual items aren't always available at the grocery store these days.

Generally, I don't really enjoy cooking just for me, but with all the extra time, and having to be creative with whatever I can find at the store, I am starting to have a little more fun.

I have completely stopped eating out.....I cook I have not gotten too fancy with the dishes I make....but I did buy a tommahawk steak yesterday and cooked that....it was 2in thick...thank god for a good meat thermometer....it came out perfectly Med Rare in most places and one little area a really good rare.....yum....all I used was iodized sea salt and black pepper....let it get warmed up a bit before I patted it down to dry it with paper towels and that cleaned some salt and pepper off....got moisture off so the BBQ did a beautiful cook out its outside....looked awesome....

Bill, the first thing I learned to cook well was a good steak! It sounds like you are on your way to becoming a good cook!

Well I’m still working but longer shifts and fewer days, so on work days I have to be super organized. But days off I’m still not interested in getting any fancier with my cooking, at least not yet. I’ve never been a very good cook but I can crank out some okay meals. Tonight was baked chicken, Italian sausage, creamy pasta and broccoli.

I'm glad to hear that you are improving upon your cooking skills during this time! I Love to cook and bake! I have been cooking and baking for for 36 years now. I started cooking and baking as a child at the age of 5. I was taught by my Mom, Grandma, Grand Aunt and Aunts. Cooking is something that was passed down to me in my family.

However I always enjoyed cooking and food. I watched cooking shows and took cooking classes at school. I teach other people how to cook and bake. And often cook and bake with my 8 year old niece. I enjoy the culinary art aspect of cooking and baking also I enjoy presenting food and making it look beautiful like art!

I am retired so I am home all the time but recently having my family home with me is making me cook and bake more for them. Enjoy more of a sense of togetherness than we usually have because we have to stay home with the whole corona virus pandemic.

I am cooking and baking more than I usually do. You know cooking is something that will improve the more time you spend doing it. The most important ingredient really is love. When you put love into what you are making it really does come out so much! better! It doesn't matter what you are making it comes out better when you make it with love.
