I know people enjoy cooking. Some even cater happily for households like ours, which for most of the past two decades contained at least one vegetarian, someone who hated cooked vegetables and others who wouldn’t eat eggs, cheese or mashed potato. Those people view it as a fun, nurturing challenge, rather than a Venn diagram devised by Satan.
With mom aging her tastes have changed, and her appetite. I have to balance cooking what I want to with how to make it so that mom will at least eat some of it. She eats very small amounts so eating out leaves me overloaded with take-out containers of stuff she wanted at the moment she ordered it, but was less interested in when it arrived.
I fully understand just stepping away from the stove and fridge, at least for a while. I suspect most of us burned out on cooking, etc. at least once since 2020.
Classic southern italian thing, butter a big dish, drop in half left over pasta. layer of sliced boiled egg, chunks of cheese, grated parmesan, pieces of mortadella, layer of pasta, cover with more grated parmesan, bake until crispy on top, bingo, another meal.
