/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I ate all my meals alone even growing up. I'd either make something myself or take what my mom made and go to my room. Live alone now and eat alone mostly. I like watching some kind of commentary on YouTube when I'm eating makes it less lonely.

Sharing meals with others is a rare treat and rather nice. Much better. But much harder to achieve.

I'm learning to cook after finally accepting I'm learning for myself. It's not very satisfying but certainly is a good time waster. I've cooked a meal or two for others and that's so much better. I'll probably end up just mastering a couple things I really like and not rly expand my horizons. Empanadas for two where the best time I've had cooking. Empanadas for one would be awful. Shephards pie for one on the other hand can last for days and is great.

Things either atomize or you focus on community and do what's good for the greater whole. Hard to say what's better. We'd certainly have more meals together one way.
