Making a meal and philosophy

Reann Legge

— 1 min read

I was all set to make a delicious pasta dish for dinner tonight, and my mouth was watering just thinking about it. But as I was getting the ground beef out of the package to defrost, I twisted my back in a funny way and suddenly everything changed. What was supposed to be an easy and enjoyable cooking experience turned into a painful and frustrating one.

Instead of giving up on the idea altogether, I started considering other options. I thought maybe rice would be a better idea because I could do less standing and easily sit through most of the process. As I weighed the pros and cons of each option, I found myself engaged in a philosophical debate with myself about the nature of cooking and the role it plays in our lives.

At its core, cooking is a form of self-expression that allows us to experiment with different ingredients, flavors, and techniques and create something that is uniquely our own. However, cooking is also a deeply personal activity that requires us to be present in the moment and engage with the process fully. When we're cooking, we're not just making a meal, we're creating an experience.

So, when something like a twisted back threatens to derail that experience, it can be tempting to give up and walk away. But I realized that cooking is also about adapting to new situations and finding creative solutions to unexpected challenges.

In this case, the decision to switch to rice was not just a practical one but also a philosophical one. It allowed me to continue engaging with the process of cooking while also taking care of myself and my body. And in the end, I was still able to create a delicious and satisfying meal that was uniquely my own.

So, the next time I find myself facing an unexpected challenge in the kitchen, I will remember to stay present, stay engaged, and stay true to the spirit of cooking. Whether I'm making pasta or rice, the journey is just as important as the destination.
