Itโs not the shopping, itโs not the cooking. Itโs thinking what to cook and cleanup that tires me. I know someone that eats the same meal on each night, eg pasta Monday, taco Tuesday etc. Planning is easier sure but I think the boredom would kill me. And the endless life chore of dishes is soul sucking.
there have been studies!!
It's not boring to eat the same food.
It helps reduce stress as there is one less choice to make a day and people learn to enjoy a reduced menu.
Can confirm. I was the subject of a focussed study where I cooked and ate green chicken curry every night for 12 months. I loved it. Still love it. Probably couldn't do it again though on account of family members I've picked up since then saying things like I don't like it, it's boring, we had it last night etc....sigh
Whoa, 365 nights of the same meal?? I love green curry chicken, but that sounds horrific! I think Iโd be an exceptionally bad candidate for those studies. I need variety.
Some nights I added water chestnuts.
What? I love a green curry but not that often!
it's green curry, what's not to love
