This article is not about telling you story about how I try to make peace with other people with the food which I cook or cook together with other people and make peace with them because I had a conflict. No, no, no... It is all about me making peace literally between myself and the cooking.
It is because - although I am almost 40 yrs old - I have never really liked to cook food and until now I have always tried to find a shortcut. As an example I will tell you that I have cooked chicken for the first time when I was about 36 and still I my girlfriend did most of the work. And thus I have cooked the chicken entirely by myself when I was 39 years old.
Now here is the story.
When I used to live with my mum I was very fortunate because she always cooked for me and it was yummy. But then came a moment when I have decided to live on my own and then there was nobody to cook for me anymore. Well... I had to eat something and I had to do something about it. But I was not so keen about because I didn't want to spend long time in the kitchen preparing the food. I was always busy and cooking food was for me a waste of my precious time which I wanted to dedicate on meditation and other things. Thus it was all about preparing food which was quick and easy or using the take-away services.
At some stage I have got really excited when I have found out in my books about spirituality that some people can live without eating food for a very long time ( breatherians ). I thought it was just right for me. And I have tried few times but I have never succeeded. It always ended up that I have lost quickly few kilos of weight which was a disaster for me because I was going to the gym trying to bulk up my muscles.
Thus eventually I have given up with the idea about eating less and instead I start to make peace with the kitchen and the cooking process. I don't fight with this anymore and I realise and accept that this part of this physical reality. Maybe one day I will discover a way to eat less which will be effective in supporting my body but at the moment I see and I realise that I must stop fighting and denying the physical reality.
