It's the worst.
Eating, I enjoy.
Cooking? Pass. If we could hire a chef, we'd do it.
As it is, we cannot afford a chef and because I stay home, the cooking lands on me.
I moan that I have to cook daily. Everyone has learned to tune it out.
I was cooking the other day and I managed to burn myself. This doesn't happen as often as you'd think. So when it does, I am not happy.
I began to curse. Profusely.
I flailed my arms, but not in a muppet happy sort of way. I was livid.
"Why the motherf*ck am I stuck doing this BULLSH*T?" I screamed to no one.
Yes, no one.
Natalie was outside.
Tommy was shut in his room.
Tom was still at work.
So I was shouting to no one, which was best, because I'd prefer my kids not to hear colorful language like that. I mean, I won't lie, they've heard me curse many times, but the stuff that was flowing from my mouth would make a nun blush.
As I was having my tantrum, I thought of Gordon Ramsay because I watch all his cooking programs.
"I'll tell you, Gordon. Cooking sucks DONKEY BALLS and I HATE IT!" I screeched.
To no one.
Well, wait. Max the Cat wandered in wondering what all the commotion was about.
I calmed down because I poured myself a tall glass of Diet Coke. Some people reach for the wine. I want my caffeine and chocolate, which I found in the Halloween pile. The neighborhood kids don't need it as much as I do, sorry.
I still hate cooking. I'll still complain about it.
Can't everyone just eat sandwiches for the week?

I love cooking for Frank and the kids. I hate cooking when my mother is involved. Nothing is salty enough, it's over cooked, it's under cooked, why did I make it like that, why don't I make this... makes me want to scream "This isn't Burger King, you can't have it your way!!" Do I though? No. Sigh.
ReplyDeletei hate it too. but bc i suck at cooking!
ReplyDeletei used to hate it but something has changed and now i actually enjoy it. i enjoy baking more but cooking is something i dont mind doing anymore. oh, the best thing for a non-cook - crock pot. nothing easier than just getting the ingredients, throwing it all into a pot, turning it on and then walking away for the next 6-8hrs. BEST.

My first husband loved to cook and did it most night. Thats the only thing I miss about being married to him.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy cooking. I throw fits like that when I have to clean the house. Especially when 99% of the mess is someone else's. I get seriously twitchy when I fold a full load of laundry and there is not one piece of my clothing in it! How does that happen?!?
ReplyDeleteI love cooking. And baking. I do not enjoy doing dishes, especially now that our dishwasher is broken and everything is getting washed by hand.
ReplyDeleteI burn myself all. The. Time. I have scars. I don't even flinch when it happens anymore because it's just so commonplace.
All that said, I would enjoy a week or so where everyone just ate sandwiches.
I like cooking but mostly baking. It's the preparing dinner concept that annoys me since my kids are picky and waste food.
ReplyDeleteI truly love cooking, but some days...I think we all have those days!
ReplyDeleteI love cooking, however, I prefer nice and easy recipes. With that being said, that still doesn't stop me from cursing up a storm and getting frustrated, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm terrible at it! Luckily, Cassidy likes to cook and does it in our house. Whew.
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you. In fact, I can't think of any household chore I enjoy. Not a single one.
ReplyDeletePreach!! Ok, I like cooking when I have all day to grocery shop, prepare my food, clean my dishes and not have to worry about work. Basically, I would like cooking if I was a stay at home…person.
ReplyDeleteI am convinced chocolate is the answer to everything. Having a bad day? Stubbed your toe? Eat chocolate :)
ReplyDeleteI can make ice...some days I can boil water, too. But that's about it.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain, girl :(
I HATE cooking. I love to bake, but cooking and I are not friends. I am all for a personal chef. I can even deal with breakfast and lunch. . .it's just dinner that I hate with a passion. I guess when we hit the lottery, right?
ReplyDeleteI hate cooking too. I used to make enough so that we could have leftovers the next day (thus cutting my cooking days to three or four - genius). But then my boys became teenagers and NOTHING is ever leftover. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThursday is sandwich night at our house. Mostly because the boys and DH have soccer until 6:30PM and I also can't be bothered by that time of the week. I have no idea what we are having for dinner tonight (Friday). I don't feel like cooking...
ReplyDeleteI mostly hate cooking, love baking, but hate dishes big time. I definitely hate HAVING to cook. I want a chef desperately- I should've married one
