Agree. The number of people I know who “don’t” cook blows my mind. 75% of my repertoire takes less than 30 minutes of involvement to cook. It’s cheaper, healthier, and a great zen thing that’s totally different from my day job.
For those trying to get started, do a meal kit that involves cooking, and start there. Not having to buy ingredients or plan things out makes it less intimidating.
I wish these strikes would normalize talking about your salary in the US.
It’s such a huge source of power employers have over workers heads. People always say “research what equivalent roles get when negotiating” but the data that’s out there is crap. Companies work hard to obfuscate what they pay people.
