In February of last year, Paul and I had been dating for several months but I had only cooked for him a few times. I was living by myself and doing hardly any cooking (I used to be one of those people who only enjoyed cooking if I was doing it for someone other than just myself, but I’ve gotten to the point now where I know I’d do it regardless).
As the months passed, I gradually started cooking more and more (usually at least twice a week), but it wasn’t until Paul and I moved in together in December that I started making homemade dinners a regular occurrence.
This is a photo I took of my freezer in February 2011. The tequila was a gift from a friend that I still own but haven’t yet tasted (I really need to do something about that).
As a point of comparison, this photo of our freezer was taken last week:
I think this is a pretty good visual representation of how my cooking life has changed.
hahahaha! “Single person” freezer vs. “in a relationship” freezer
That is most certainly the case as well! At least with someone like me who doesn’t cook when they’re single. I’m sure there are plenty of single gals out there who don’t let their relationship status stop them from cooking. :)
