I like the experimenting part of cooking-spices. Then there’s all the different kinds of food worldwide. Plenty of cuisines in the US alone. The standing-up part gets old as one gets older. The slow cooker is a favorite. Prepare the night before, start it up in the morning and forget about it all day. Then there’s the convenience of a toaster oven/air fryer-no bending over.
It’s sad. People are too busy or lazy. Packaged food can be unhealthy. Think obesity. Think economy of motion when cooking. I’ll think ahead when it comes to thawing or shelf life of perishables.
Cooking should be a positive experience.

I'm on NutriSystem, and have so far lost 105 pounds over 2 years. I like the convenience of the meals they send me, which being a widower, I can just pop in the microwave. However, on the program you are responsible for shopping for fruits, vegetables, high-fiber carbs (like brown rice or whole wheat bread) and specific proteins (like nonfat milk).
My daughter got me an air fryer for Christmas, and I love cooking with it. I also enjoy cooking my vegetables in a casserole. Spices? You bet! Paprika, gochujang, and my pantry's full of all kinds of hot sauces.
