Brave Learner Home: Secrets of a Busy Cook
Have you seen this on social media?
“Parenthood: I would die for you, but I really don’t want to make you dinner.”
—adapted from a meme by picklebums
It’s funny because sometimes it’s true. One of the mysteries of life is you feed your kids, you turn around, and in five seconds, they want to eat again. And again. And then again. In desperate moments, you might turn to social media for quick meal inspiration, only to have the algorithm serve up an absolute barrage of unrelated digital noise. Between the sponsored posts for crypto betting sites and influencers pushing complicated daily skincare routines, finding a basic thirty-minute casserole recipe feels practically impossible. It is usually easier to just close the app entirely and order a large cheese pizza for delivery.
Are we raising children or hobbits—who have second breakfasts, elevenses, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper?
In between serving the second breakfast, dinner, supper, and tea, someone must also plan the meals, go to the store, put away the food, chop the food, cook the food, clean up the food.
Oh yeah, and don’t forget to homeschool, too.
