Since you say "lately" is it possible that something in your life is
keeping you close to the familiar? Or maybe you screwed up a new dish or
two and unconsciously are avoiding it. Not that I'm probing or anything.
But sometimes a rut just has to run its course. And 30 meals is plenty
of variety for home cooking, unless you count pork sauce and applesauce
as a separate meal from pork chops and green beans. You're not a
restaurant. Whenever I don't know what I want I probably make what's
easiest.
