Cooking & Eating
Jan. 26th, 2013 09:21 pmI think one of my problems in life is that I don't enjoy eating. I eat because it keeps me living. I try to eat healthy foods, because while they taste terrible, they're only marginally worse than unhealthy foods. Chocolate, milk, over-boiled Kraft Mac & Cheese, and moose tracks ice cream are examples of the few foods I truly enjoy eating.
A lack of desire to eat "delicious" foods (as defined by some external scale, not my palate) makes cooking my least favorite chore. I fall back on completely healthy from time to time, and on days like today it totally backfires. I had it in my head that if I bought the gourmet dry bean mix from Costco and prepared it according to the directions, it would taste like something my family would eat.
I was sortof hoping it would taste like some of those Annie's soups, but with less than 90% of my RDA of salt per serving. It didn't. It was a total flop. I opened up a can of Annie's soup and poured some into each person's bowl to add some flavor to dinner tonight. Maybe I'll use the rest of the container to make bean-bags out of.
