I hate cooking!

Exactly as the title says...i hate cooking! This is a post which less people may relate to but apart from the fact that I can't cook I just absolutly despise it!

Firstly I don't understand why back in the olden days one of the main priorities of the day was to cook the dinner which did seem to take the whole day...whats the point? Unless your me (as I seem to take an age to eat anything) its gone in 5-10mins!

When I'm hungry, I want to eat there and then. I wait until I really really need to eat before I do so I dont want to stand and cook for the next half an hour!! This usually leads to my dietry intake being not the healthiest. However even if I did decide to cook, its a huge stress! Apart from the fact I am utterly useless in the kitchen I find it boring and unnecessary. 

My biggest hate about cooking, is cooking programmes (apart from Gino D'Acampo, could watch him all day :P). They all say quick meals that are simple and easy to make yet every two minutes there talking about vegetables youve never heard off, throwing spices around left right and centre and require utensils that noone owns! As from my recent post 'making porridge' you can see that I'm not the most natural cook however even when I do try it may be edible but its not the best thing youve ever tasted. 

For example, tonight I attempted to made a stir fry. Not rocket science I know. Fry the chicken, add the stirfry the noodles and the sauce. Yet somehow Im not sure it was 100% cooked properly as I got bored of waiting and by the time I'd finished the kitchen looked like the stirfry had exploded everywhere (probably because the pan wasnt big enough). It wasnt fun, tasted just OK and then I had to do the dishes whereas I could have made a toastie in 2 seconds, no hassel or mess!

Ive already been targeted at work for cookery lessons and I know I should probably give in and learn to cook as theres many years to come of cooking but if I had the choice I really wouldnt like too. For people who enjoy cooking I envy you...please share your spirit!
