What To Cook?

 There are hundreds of recipe to look at the recipe books I have but I only cook something that I like or mostly my favorite food. Having to choose the right meal for the day is a pain and heartache especially when nobody likes the meal that's been laboriously prepared. They have their choices too most of the time. MOST OF THE TIME!

I must always remind myself and the "others" that the house is not a restaurant.

 
 I wish my house is a restaurant. In a restaurant the cook is praised most of the time for the food that's been prepared because cooking is an act, it is a special kind of WORK. It is work! Cook are paid for their hard work. In five star restaurants cook are paid higher than anybody else in the kitchen because of their experience and knowledge in their "cookery." They also have special privilege and receive higher tip from customers who appreciate gourmet food. However, when gourmet food is not what they prefer but the "fast food." Right, they should go to the fast food and have fun with it. Cheaper! Economical! Most of all no need to clean the house and the kitchen from all the mess. Less garbage. No need to clean the oven and stove. There's no need for fridge. There's no need to shop for raw food, no need for veggies, meat and dairy. All food must come from the restaurant.

Less work. No sweat!

You bet the BUDGET will suffocate anybody from all the restaurant expenses.

 
I could just be an artist. I would rather be an illustrator, creative artist rather than be a cook when those people don't really appreciate what good food or viand they are having for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If I could just paint the food and then add magic making all those food real in just a matter of one click. One click, one flash! Voila! Eureka!
