A Reluctant Cook

This is not a complaint. I know rampant starvation exists in many countries. I understand that clean water is unavailable in large swaths of land. Despite this knowledge I will persist in airing a pet peeve.

You cook a meal and then it's eaten and you're back to square one. Even if you figured on left overs or cooked enough to put several meals in the freezer the inevitable will come-- you need to do it all over again.

Paint a picture, throw a pot, write a poem, take a photo and it doesn't disappear into the thin air.

Cook food and it disappears. Yet what remains is what spins around the meal-- breaking bread with others.

The food may release its aromas, but the savory taste to the food comes from those around the table.
