I cook dinner for two humans - breakfast and lunch we do our own things. Partner excels at cleaning the kitchen when I’m done and stays out of my way while I’m making stuff. He’s also my taste-tester when I think a dish needs something but can’t identify what.
My cooking style is to make a large amount of a base dish (a pot of beans, say) and then repurpose those into different mains - or make a large batch of something (today it’s brown rice with lentils and a bunch of vegetables) that we can eat for a couple of days, along with future meals shoved into the freezer.
We also have a houseful of beasties: some are our family companions and others are fosters here for an indeterminate period of time. Depending on the number, the species and dietary needs, and the age/health of the critters, sometimes I’m cooking/prepping multiple meals a day for them - and trying to find space in the fridge/freezer for their foods.
(An aside: we humans are mostly plant-based eaters, but some of the critters need meat and so I buy and cook it. I struggle with the ethical questions regarding that whole situation and have yet to come to a comfortable logic - so I try not to think about it and do my best to foster herbivores.)
I like to cook. Would like it more if we had more counter space, larger fridge/freezer, and central air.
