I do not enjoy being in the kitchen. The thought of kneading dough, meat or anything with my hands freaks me out. If I can't mix it with a spoon, I don't do it. I will open a package of meat with a knife and then dump it into the pan in one lump to avoid having to touch it. I enjoy reading cooking blogs and then passing on recipes I want to try to my better half to cook. Occasionally I will make something in the kitchen. Occasionally it is edible. My cooking adventures are legendary in my family. Every one of them has been faced with staring at a plate of who knows what and attempting to eat it in the face of being polite. Needless to say, one of my life goals has not been to learn to cook. Sadly this past month has created a large problem in my life goal of not cooking.
I have always had stomach issues and have not been able to eat diary for years. Recently my issues got worse and I went to the doctor. She told me I have to be on a gluten free diet.
I have been for a few weeks and it has cleared up my issues almost immediately. My only issue is sneak gluten. Seriously, people, it is in EVERYTHING! And this leads to my problem. I have to learn to cook. My better half has no interest in baking, so if I want to have bread, I will have to learn to make it myself. Or suck it up and pay $6+ for bad tasting pre-made bread. For now, I will make due, but look out world. I will at some point be entering the world of baking. Wish me, my kitchen and my oven good luck.
