I love good food, and I actually do enjoy cooking, but for far too long I've really been just too lazy do much. By the time I get home from work, I'm pretty wiped out and don't want to spend a lot of time on meal preparation, preferring instead to toss something in the microwave and scarf it down in my recliner. My mother knows my lazy tendencies all too well, and she knows even better that harping on my failings is pretty much the worst way to get me to change.
Mothers, of course, are sneaky, sneaky people. And mine has had to be doubly so to raise someone as completely bull-headed as me. Lately she has been watching a lot of cooking shows, especially those starring chef Gordon Ramsay, and she caught on to my own interest in the same shows when I would sit up watching them with her whenever I visited. I've always enjoyed foodie shows myself, and used to watch them all the time back when I had cable, but haven't caught any lately.
