When I saw the third option, I practically leaped for joy, because when it comes to market, cooking, food, and kitchen, I wouldn't mind hiring someone if I am buoyant enough to take over that particular chores because what is all the stress about?
Don't get me wrong, I am not a lazy person Nah! Nah!, it's not like I can not cook, or do not know how to cook tasty meals but I am just not cut out for cooking wahala and the worst of all is the loss of appetite I usually have after I am done cooking a meal, I had planned to eat.
For my kind of person, I am not a foodie, not at all, I could go days eating junk and chewable, and maybe after realizing or becoming conscious that I have been taking a lot of junk that could cause menstrual cramps and maybe avoid having diabetes at my old age, I could decide to eat an edible food but to be able to eat my choice of food, I have to eat out or look for someone to cook the food for me in my house which is likely impossible or go to a friend's house to eat, that's only when I can eat to my satisfaction but anything other than that, won't work because I could end up cooking that delicious meal and not eat it or watch others eat the food.
Countless times, I have cooked for my family and never tasted the food till it finished, only got praise from my mom and siblings or probably a friend who is opportune to eat the food and how delicious the food is or was. So on some days, if what we will be having is one of my favourite, I will have to beg my mom to do the cooking or consciously stay out late to be sure that by the time I am home, the food is ready to be eaten.
I mean, because of this, I have had people ask me questions like "When you finally get married, won't you be cooking for your husband or will you just finish cooking and serve your husband alone because you've lost appetite"?
Well, the truth is I don't have an answer to that question but one thing I usually tell the guys that come around me is that when it comes to cooking, I am not a fan, not because I can not cook but because I am a lazy cook as I usually end up losing appetite after cooking.
For me, cooking is one of the hardest chores, so if I find myself cooking for myself or someone else that means I love that person very dearly because, normally, my love never covers the cooking aspect. I could do anything for someone without batting an eyelid but when it involves cooking, nah nah nah. I will tell you I can not because I also want to be able to sit down and eat just like everyone else.
I can not just sit and watch everyone else eat what I finished cooking while I watch and get satisfied with the aroma or the sight of the food. If a guy asks me to show him how much I love him by cooking for him, I guess I will be failing woefully because I know that my love for him never reach to cook. Lol, it is still learning work.
