    I quite often procrastinate for hours on end. It's like a snake biting its own tail. The hungrier I am, the more tired, and the less I want to cook, and the hungrier I will be.

    This is not whining. More like laughing at myself. Save your advice, I don't ever listen to advice.

    How's cooking after an honest day's work for you?

    So, you must spend your whole Sunday making your meals then freeze them?

    Edit: poached egg sammich, tomato, scallion, spinach. 5 mins. ;)

    I used to love to cook every day. Lately I just don't feel like it though.
    I'm busy chasing after a 2 yr old all day and taking him to do things and cleaning and other stuff...
    I eat a lot of left overs and stuff.

    I work nights, so dinner is the first meal of the day for me. I mostly grill chicken, steak, fish, etc. When it gets colder I use the oven more, but I usually eat the same things year round. I eat simply and don't really prepare extravagant meals since it's just me.

    I can relate to this a lot. Sometimes I manage, but most of the time I either end up eating scoops of peanut butter and whatever else is just there, or I get take out. I've been thinking about renting a room in exchange for cooking and cleaning. I need a woman around who either enjoys that stuff or can manage it better than me.

    One thing I like to do is cook things like chilli or chicken soups or chicken pot pie (not the pie kind) or other things that make like a week's worth of meals but don't require a lot of work.

    Crock pots are great but I guess only for family- sized meals.

    Cooking for one or two people is difficult, I think.

    I cook only for myself and it's hardly worth it, except to stave off starvation.

    Whoever gets in from work starts dinner. if its me then its a stew or a casserole as i can be a bit lazy, so bunging everthing in one big pot is ideal... it also means i can chill with a glass of wine.

    I love to cook so for me it is not a chore and perhaps that is why I find it relaxing after working all day.

    I do batch cooking as well and freeze it in portions for the times when it is difficult to spend over an hour cooking. Mainly hockey nights or if I work really late.

    Something comforting about a good meal so making one is rewarding.

    Don't like to cook. I'm able, but I'm very fortunate in that I have people in my life who are happy to cook for me. When I get home from work at 8-9pm, I barely feel like eating, let alone cooking.
