The problem is that you're not enjoying the preparation

>>9768476
Yeah I enjoy the prep. I enjoy thinking all day about what I'm going to make and how I'm going to make it.

Cooking distracts me from my constant suicide thoughts and existential crisis of being a loser in my 30s. .So for an hour I can focus on something completely besides that and it brings me just enough joy to add it to the list of "reasons to not kill myself tonight" after doing it.

desu I am incapable of pushing myself to cook a meal if it takes longer than 30 minutes of my time, the only exception to this being Christmas dinner. I've got simple tastes, rarely eat meat, and veggies cook fast af.
The only time when I was willing to invest more of my life into preparation of meals was when I was in this horrible relationship and he didn't ever come to the kitchen when I was cooking, so 2 hours of cooking = 2 hours of time when I was left the fuck alone.

It sounds like you just don't enjoy cooking. Preparation is the best part, faggot.

A, cooking is fun
B, this is bait
C, if the time spent eating is the lesser quantity, then it is the higher quality

I honestly enjoy cooking it more than eating it most times.

Sounds like you're cooking too slowly and eating too quickly. For me even an elaborate meal takes only a little over an hour to prepare, and at least half an hour to eat.

God is this me. I also think about what I'm going to cook and stuff a lot and Unger antsy.

This. I like to take my time with my food, so much so that as much I hate to admit it I have a slight issue with eating so slowly my food gets cold before I can finish it lel.

This is why I don't cook, it's just another chore like cutting the grass or doing laundry, thus I treat day-to-day meals as simply "filling up the fuel tank" and do my "eating for enjoyment" at restaurants.
