I ran into Miss “Icantcook” again. My lunch was later than usual because of a meeting, so I got to see what she eats.
What do you have for lunch today?
Salad, what are you having?
Lean Cuisine Panini, (watches as I pull containers out of my lunch bag) what kind of salad?
Mixed spring greens with salmon, strawberries, avocado, pecans and a balsamic vingerette. (Assembled as we were talking)
Did you make all that?
No, I bought all the parts and put it together.
I wish I could do that.
Um, it’s not cooking. Other than the salmon and I did that in the microwave.
I still couldn’t do that. It’s cooking.
????????????????????? (her lunch was ready and I escaped)
As near as I can tell, she’s totally convinced herself that she cannot cook and is incapable of learning how to cook.
