9x Tweets from people who really don’t want to cook anymore

We get it. Many of you simply don’t want to anymore. You can’t stand the sight of banana bread anymore, pasta dishes are coming out of your ears, and salads out of your nose. We’re here for you with recipes and inspiration whenever you feel like cooking again, and in the meantime: opening a can of frankfurters is also putting food on the table, you know!

And believe us, you’re not alone. All over the world, people are sick and tired of standing in the kitchen, eagerly waiting for the hospitality industry to be allowed to reopen its doors to visitors. We’ll drink bottles of wine, almost lick our plates clean, and head home deliriously happy deep into the night. Someday, honestly. And until then, you can take comfort in knowing that these people are just as f-ing fed up with it as you are…

Man I’m tired of cooking.

I’m bout to just drink this bottle of salad dressing and get in bed ☹️

I’m making buttered noodles, roasted chicken breast, and broccoli for dinner. I’m bored with a meal I haven’t even started cooking yet.

my brain really said ‘make something other than a grilled cheese for dinner tonight’ and then had me produce a quesadilla

Isolation Journal Day 35:
Got tired of cooking, so I had Phil make me a bowl of popcorn for dinner. But I put butter on it: that’s dairy… And I washed it down with a glass of wine (fruit).
So I almost hit all the major food groups.

‘Rock bottom’ is also a theme:

Just made a single bacon wrapped jalapeño for dinner, is this rock bottom

And sometimes the call of babi pangang is simply irresistible:

I told myself I was gonna eat healthy food today, and I’d take it seriously.

No worries! Really! Don’t be too hard on yourself, and let’s try to drag each other through the final stretch. And whether it comes with pork cracklings or avocados, one day we’ll look back on this while raising a toast in a restaurant. Or at home over a dish you really went all out for, because surely you’ll feel like doing that again someday. Hang in there!
