Cooking is something I've only begun to do more of recently. Living alone with only myself to consider actually makes it harder for me since I've always been somewhat lackadaisical about taking care of myself. Love my writing, but struggled with cooking.

Now that I'm going whole hog on looking out for me, I'm doing better. (New personal rule: Everything I have -self included- deserves it's maintenance.)

Cooking for one is freaking hard, too! Even cooking for two can be a pain. Food doesn't always come conveniently sized for a single serving. I'm glad you're taking care of yourself this way now, though. 🫢

It is almost NEVER, at least in America, single serving. You must be prepared to figure out what you're going to do with the overage.

I’m such a serial list maker too. Especially for remembering changes I want to make in further editing passes. It’s the only way all the fine details stay with me!

Oh dude HARD SAME. I make so many lists at every stage of writing because I’m absolutely forgetting them otherwise…

I love the comparison of cooking to writing. I'd never really thought of it like that, but it's so true. Also, I think I know why the few times I've made bread, it's not been great... so thank you for that lil tip!
