The Lazy Cook

[cjsmith]

Last weekend I made several batches of different vegetable soups. (Those are convenient campus food, as I can bring them in a thermos without worrying about reheating.) I also made two and a half pounds of chicken breasts simmered in Italian-herbed tomato sauce. None of this took much effort at all.

I ♥ my crock pot.

And this weekend I walked out to my chest freezer and pulled out a week's worth of homemade food that is legal for my current diet. I don't have to go to the grocery store this week if I don't want to. I don't have to cook this week if I don't want to.

I ♥ my deep freezer.

(This is almost like being a normal person who can do things like eat out. Almost.)

i'm so glad you're at this happy place food-wise. it makes AALLLL the difference in the world, doesn't it?

It sure does. Well, it makes 80% of the difference in the world. Eating something someone ELSE cooks would 1) free up my schedule a bit, 2) give me a lot more flexibility (the ability to eat on campus!!), and 3) let me eat things that taste good. But still. It's way better than five months ago. Besides, this is verrrryyy good for the budget, and boy do I need to be doing things that are good for the budget.
