Currently, the happiest thing for me is that I can cook for myself every day and never tire of it.

Originally, I didn’t know how to cook. For twenty years, I grew up eating food from my mother and the canteen. Sometimes I don’t feel how delicious the food is, and I always finish every meal as if I have completed a task, so I don’t feel the joy of cooking.

Until this summer vacation, specifically because I wanted to learn how to cook. Unexpectedly, after more than a month, I fell hopelessly in love with it - cooking.

** I think everyone who is passionate about life can always find some way to express it. **

Before, the reason why I didn’t go into the kitchen was because I felt: too tired. Our whole family likes my mother’s cooking. Every time we get together, we all look forward to eating my mother’s food, leaving my mother to “fight” alone in the kitchen, while we eat sunflower seeds, chat and watch in the living room. television.

At most, a few people will occasionally come into the kitchen to visit and ask, "Is it ready? When can we eat?"

I only go into the kitchen to help with the dishes and chopsticks. , set the table. When I saw my mother putting a dozen dishes on the table by herself, I felt so respectful. It was so awesome.

When I heard everyone praising her, I felt happy. And when I saw that not only did I finish cooking, but I also had to clean and wash the dishes at the end, which was another busy time, I really felt that those who knew how to cook were simply overworked.

I thought: It would be great if I could always be that person who only knows how to eat but not cook, and there is always someone to cook for me.

It is this kind of mentality that has made me unable to cook properly for more than 20 years. Every time at home, my mother is delayed by something and I need to cook it myself, I can always cook it like porridge.

My mother said worriedly: "It's not good if you don't know how to do housework. You will definitely suffer when you go out in the future. Cooking should be a necessary skill. If you can't do this, you will definitely starve. "

I can always reply to her confidently: "It's okay, you can order takeout from now on, and you can eat everything. Maybe someone will do it. "Daughters are always precious, and although my mother was worried, she didn't force it.

Now, needless to say, she must be happy for me. During the summer vacation, every time I cooked a dish, I would send her a picture. In the circle of friends, after every time I posted a picture, she was the first person to like and encourage me.

Let’s talk about the fun of cooking:

First of all, the sense of accomplishment in cooking comes from yourself and others. When you are happy with your meal, it is very important to be satisfied. If you can share it with friends and hear their praise, it will also be a great sense of accomplishment.

Currently, whenever I explore a new place, the first thing I think about is not going to a shopping mall (clothes are also a favorite of girls). Even in a shopping mall, I want to go shopping in the large supermarket on the ground floor. I even want to visit the local wet market.

From the beginning of choosing the ingredients, cleaning it at home, putting it in the pot, and serving it, this is indeed a process that takes time and thought. However, isn’t the way we love life reflected in these little things?

Now I can cook several dishes that I want to eat. To a large extent, I need to rely on various recipes. If I want to make basic ingredients into delicious food, I need to learn.

The happy thing is that I can try various things for myself every day, and I don’t know what will be on the table the next day. This is a surprise in life.

Secondly, ** cooking by yourself not only allows you to eat what you want, but also saves a lot of living expenses. **

You can cook for yourself and eat whatever you want according to your own preferences. No matter how you eat, it's always cleaner, more hygienic, and in the right amount than takeout.

In a big city like Beijing, cooking for yourself is much cheaper than eating out. This is what I have experienced recently.

If you really fall in love with cooking, you will start to ask for more. For example, in the past, you could always tolerate the bad aspects of the kitchen. Anyway, you are not cooking by yourself, so you don’t need to care so much.

Now, I will start to ask for more, and I hope that every place within my reach should be clean and tidy, because I spend my time in the kitchen, and even if I am not alone in such an environment, Use, always want it to look a little better when you're in it.

I also pay attention to every piece of kitchen utensils, which must be both practical and beautiful. When I see the kitchen utensils I like, I can’t move as much as when I see good-looking clothes in the mall. This is for everyone who loves to cook. It is also very challenging for people.

In the eyes of outsiders, this may be "more hard work and more tiring." But in my own eyes, it may be "I just want to be better to food, and thus be better to myself." I do it willingly. ”

If you are unhappy, try to learn to cook.

Sometimes, when people are free, they will inevitably pass the time and think about things, and the fun of cooking can make up for your blankness and pretentiousness.

Cooking requires concentration, dedication, and good time allocation. In this process, you can learn to use your time more rationally and efficiently. Because you're thinking: What do I do now? How to do it? What’s next? Is there anything I can make in advance?

I don’t want to know if I can cook well enough to capture a man’s stomach in the future? (This is bullshit)

I only believe that everyone who knows how to love himself and loves his life can always find someone who can match him. Be good to yourself, be friends with yourself, and understand that life is always a right way of life.
