Perhaps I'd Rather Starve
My grandmother doesn't cook, but she does enjoy reading cookbooks. I am beginning to suspect I am the same. I enjoy watching America's Test Kitchen and reading Cook's Illustrated, but I find that whenever I try to follow their recipes things are just too much work to bother with. Today is a case in point. After seeing them make Thai Chicken Soup [registration required] on Test Kitchen today, I thought I'd like to have it for dinner. So I printed out the recipe, walked up to Schnuck's, got my ingredients, and came back to make the soup. The shopping took about 45 minutes, which wasn't too bad. But then making the soup took 90 minutes or so. To be fair, I now have about two more days worth of meals ready to go, but I think next time I'm inspired to make something, I'll just go out to eat instead.
