OK, tell me what in the world you are cooking that takes two hours. And putting something in the oven for an hour is not really any work, is it?

You underestimate how bad we can be at cooking. It takes me like an hour just to peal and chop up ingredients for even a simple dish like mashed potatoes or stir fry.

Clean as you go and there is very little left to be done after the meal.
Remember, you are dealing with people that never cook, and for some reason think they know what they're talking about.

Meal prep, and cooking stuff that doesn't need much involvement.
I eat 6 meals per day when I'm trying to gain weight, and it can be done with very little time spent cooking.

This is why i dont eat. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Jk kind of lol
Meals in countries that take food seriously last longer and are meant to be enjoyed with family and friends. Its just our shitty culture that causes this problem.
What do you mean by countries that take food seriously? I lived in a few different countries (never in the US) and can't really picture that
If food is viewed and enjoyed as an experience rather than a necessity as a culture, I think it leads to huge shifts in so many aspects of daily living.

Kinda like life. The journey is actually the goal
looks like its another night of pbj sandwich. again.
You say that like it's a bad thing
During the pan my relationship with food became standing over the sink and eating quickly prepared meals. Only now that I'm in a relationship are real meals happening again because she loves to cook. She had to persuade me to buy a two-seater kitchen table before we lived together.
That’s why I know I’m never going to be a foodie or even remotely enjoy cooking. I just don’t want to spend all that time only to be done eating so soon. Some dishes just aren’t worth the time invested.
If you enjoy cooking as a hobby, great. But since I don’t, I’m choosing easy to make things whenever possible.
Heck, I don’t even like going to restaurants. The wait is usually far too long compared to the actual meal.
I like cooking but only for other people lol. If it’s just me you know I’m throwing in this week’s seventh Red Baron Classic Crust Pepperoni pizza.
