Pertinent to my Interests

Documentary reviews, body neutrality, parenting, Jupiter, piano, cats, European history, ghosts, rodents, the collapse of civilization, and if this goes on long enough I'll probably end up cataloguing my entire smushed penny collection.

People Who Enjoy Cooking

People who enjoy cooking: would you consider yourself a morning person or a night person?

I think part of my issue with cooking dinner every night is the timing. My energy level drops at about 4 PM every day. I get a slight boost around 7 PM but after that I am just DONE.

I know there are people out there who feel at their best in the late afternoon and evening, and I am wondering if those people also enjoy cooking elaborate dinners for their families.

I can picture my husband reading this, narrowing his eyes at the screen, and thinking to himself that the lunches and breakfasts I make aren’t much better than my dinners.

This is true. I’m just not much of a cook at any time of day. But dinner feels especially painful due to the timing.
