'I hate making dinner, I hate planning dinner and I hate foraging for ingredients. I hate all of it.' Can you relate?
I hate making dinner, I hate planning dinner and I hate foraging for ingredients. I hate all of it. Because hiring a personal chef wasn’t a practical solution for my family, I subscribed to a website that designs healthy, family-friendly meal plans for the week, thinking that it would solve some of my problems. It provides ingredient lists, recipes and even photos.
If anyone had walked by my house at the moment when I served that dinner, they might have thought that there had been a death in the family. My kids weren’t just crying; they were wailing as if I’d said “Enjoy your sesame gingerand, by the way, I gave away the cat and all of your toys and cancelled the Wi-Fi.” Needless to say, they had cereal for dinner, I ate sesame ginger stir-fry for a week and the can of fire-roasted tomatoes is still in my pantry.
That isn’t to say that I haven’t tried any new recipes since the Sesame Ginger Experiment. OK, that’s a lie: I. My husband works out of town and leaves me alone with the kids most weeknights, so it’s easier and safer to make the stuff I know they like over and over again.
Often, couples balance each other out. If one person isn’t passionate about cooking, the other one is. My husband and I don’t have that. My husband’s cooking skills make me look like Julia Child . I will always remember coaching my husband through pasta making over the phone when my oldest was just a year old and I was in the hospital with an ovarian torsion.
