Dinner tonight was pulled pork in a chile sauce that I made from
scratch (using whole, dried chiles), black beans (& stuff) and
cilantro-lime cauliflower "rice"... corn tortillas on the side.

I love beans and sauce! For some, cooking is an enjoyable experience,
new ingredients at every dinner and recipes to create masterpieces.
For others, cooking is a mundane and sometimes complicated task.

For what I see, seems you love what you do.

Thank you, I truly do!

One of the perks of eating out is coming home with inspiration and I
came home with lots of it tonight. 3 best new things in the world:
truffled parmesan cheese, blistered sugar snap peas dressed in
colatura di alici (from Campania, Italy) + chili oil (made with a
dried Italian chili I'd never heard of before tonight) vinaigrette and
an amazing chocolate budino tart with sea salt and extra virgin olive
oil. Accompanied by a very nice dry Italian white wine. Don't ask me
what it was called.

Now to figure out if I can buy colatura locally or if I have to resort
to the internet.

Guess what I found?

No idea if this crust is as amazing as what we had tonight and the
dessert was much darker chocolate overall, but that's easily remedied.

And for still others, it's sometimes enjoyable and other times a mundane
task.

I think that's the norm. Sometimes I get in a roll and cook up a
storm of tasty things. Sometimes I get in a rut and have a hard time
even thinking of something good to cook (that I have time or energy to
cook).

A few days, occasionally, I'll just opt for the easy way out. Once you
eat whatever, you are satisfied for the evening.

Example: Wanted take-out chinese one night. To save money, I ate 2
PBJ sandwiches and some chips. Oh Man! But once the cheap meal
settled into my stomach, I was fine. ;o

LOL but anyway, I think cooking is a lot better if you are in the
right mood. I mean excited and enthusiast.

When you are sad, all you want is eat anything just to eat, the first
things you find. Or maybe not eating at all.
