Bad host

Last year, I cooked out almost every weekend - I'd have potato salad, mac n cheese, corn on the cob, steak tips, chicken breasts...you name it. I didn't plan these cook outs - they just happened. On the weekend, people just show up, and I was always ready.

.

Now I buy the gross cheap bags of chips and popcorn at the grocery store, and put that out to eat. Every once in a while, Darcy breaks out the pita and hummus too. I used to spend hundreds of dollars on food for one cook out. That's craziness. Now that I don't eat much, I wouldn't dream of it.

.

When my family was in town last week, I hardly made anything. I made a chicken sausage with roasted vegetables and orzo the first day, and then a big roast beef dinner the second, but that was really it. I used to plan out something good for every meal, and now it just doesn't even occur to me.

.

I'm glad to be more apathetic about food, but I should probably step it up a bit when I have guests! I need to remind myself that they still like to eat! It's not that I don't like to eat...it's just that I don't care about it that much. I eat for fuel. I can eat the same meal 7 times in a row if I have leftovers. It's strange.

I should have one big BBQ before the season is done. I need to feed the people.
