It’s Official

It’s official - I am a bachelorette.

It’s taken almost seven years for me to finally reach this point.  The point where there is no viable food in my fridge, no stock pile of canned goods in the cupboard, no munchies any where, but it has happened.  I don’t know when, but it has happened.  “Eating In” now consists of having to go to the grocery store for something to fix.  And I rarely do it.  I know so many cheap places to grab a bite, I almost feel bad for forcing myself to use the pots and pans I bought with such enthusiasm 5 years ago. 
Instead of feeling bad about this, I feel free.  I no longer feel forced to cook.  I don’t feel like a slave to my kitchen, not that I ever really did.  I know how to cook and I am pretty good at it when I choose to be.  I have prepared some great meals in my time.  I just don’t have to anymore.  And I am just fine with that.
