I actually like cooking, especially if it turns out well. And I don't really mind working on it for an hour or so. But this time I spent and entire free day looking up things to make and it felt a bit too much.

I would love to be able to just make anything based on whatever is in the fridge. But I don't really have much experience yet, and especially on days when I'm tired, I feel incapable of thinking up something to prepare. I just stare at the fridge and pantry and have no clue where to start.
This is good advice actually. And I suppose having to eat something that is clearly missing some ingredient makes it easier to remember and do it better the next time :)
Thanks. I want to try this and accept it if things go wrong. I already realise that in the worst case, we go to a restaurant nearby or order pizza or something.
But somehow my brain wants me to do hours of effort to make it perfect. I should have some kind of training to accept mistakes and imperfect results.
Yeah, I feel like I have this a lot, in many areas in life. But how do you combat it?
Yeah, I do notice if I stick to my staples, it tends to help me avoid spending way too much time searching for new recipes. But my current cookbook is rather small. (about 5 recipes I can consistently prepare). So that's why I'm looking around for new options, but it's a bit overwhelming.
Maybe I should set a specific time during the week where I can do a bit of searching, but avoid doing it on the rest of the days.
I notice often I get stuck on the next step and don't know how to do something, and that usually results in the browsing spree and me going down the rabbit hole.
Not sure how to avoid it really.
This seems to be the config:
cookiebanners.service.mode = 1 (reject all) or 2 (reject all or fall back to accept all).
So on 2 it would reject all, and if not possible, accept all.
I would love to have somebody cook for me at my home and show me how to make some good easy recipes. But I suppose that would be outrageously expensive. I try cooking myself to save money in the first place :/
