A co-worker was surprised when I mentioned I like to cook. "Just for
yourself?" Yes. "You live alone, right?" Yes. "And you cook. Just
for yourself." I laughed. Of course I do! You don't think I go out to
eat every day, do you?

Maybe the millenials go out to eat all the time but I'm not a millenial.
The idea that people living by themselves don't cook seems to be a
common misconception.

I explained to her I have a small stand-alone freezer. Cooking for one
isn't difficult. But with a freezer it's easy to cook some things in
slightly larger quantities and have leftovers for homemade freezer meals
for when I don't feel like cooking.

I don't understand why the concept was such a surprise. Your thoughts?
