I had let go of one of my passions. Cooking. I just couldn't see myself making these huge meals like before.
I did not give that up. Challenge yourself to make smaller meals but of more exotic quality.
Branch out. Experiment.
Think oriental-like small portions only using the hot Hoboken Latin (and in my case Italian) items.
Think presentation.
Smaller meals are more difficult so the sense of satisfaction is greater. Another plus is that you can spend the same but since they are smaller you get to buy the better stuff.
Try it. I did. And I am still cooking with a smile on my face.
Thai food tonight with select shrimp. Something Ex would never go for.
Before I met her she thought bologna with tomato sauce over spaghetti was a big thing.
