I never had any problems preparing a delicious dish, but I've always cowered from putting together something that requires significant prep work (on my own). If I had a slave handy, then I disregarded personal freedoms and went full supervisor.
Last month, I decided to change that. The manner in which I tackled this was to start ordering from Blue Apron. The quick summary of what they are is that they send you all the ingredients mostly portioned out for a recipe (stuff like garlic will always be in excess).
Anyways, it works. I'm honing the skills and the incidence of kitchen disaster has remarkably decreased.
I'm only posting about this because I've partially prepared my next meal, but I'm waiting for a manual food processor to arrive in the mail before I actually get to cooking it tonight. I'm disproportionately excited to give it a whirl because you chop shit up with it by pulling a handle like you're starting a lawn mower.
Music in the background, polishing off a bottle of wine, it's kind of become the highlight twice a week. Washing dishes has become the worst part of each week (I use a small bathroom sink).
This is not a review, but rather a boring attempt at inspiration. I have no idea who the fuck I'm trying to inspire though.
What timing. There's UPS.
