"I am not a Cook!"

Pardon the lame effort at manipulating a famous quote.

It's true. I don't cook much, mostly because I'm so incredibly picky that I don't even know what I would cook if I tried! Also, since it's just me, spending lots of time preparing something just doesn't interest me. I'm all about low maintenance. I like things quick and easy.

I do have a few staples that I make repeatedly: chili, enchiladas, tuna casserole, spaghetti, chicken breast. That might be the extent of it! This week, I tried something new. I knew it would be easy, but I'd never thought to make them before -- tacos! It's my new favorite meal, I think, because I can make the meat, and whip a taco together any time of day! Seriously, how did I not think of this before?

Confession: I don't think I can make hamburgers. I once tried to make a hamburger when I lived in Florida. This was 1999. I couldn't get the stupid patty to stick together! It crumbled in my pan, and I quit. I never tried again. Perhaps I should try again, but also, I hate touching raw meat, so that adds to the dilemma of hamburger-making.

Other staple meals include South Beach frozen pizzas and chicken patties/tenders, though I haven't bought the chicken in a while. I also eat a lot of eggs---omelettes, overeasy, scrambled, whatever.

So, yeah, this was all pointless. hope you enjoyed it!
