after preparing all the things i want to cook .. like chopping up the garlic .. or washing the meat ..
i get to the cooking .. and after that i eat .. and then comes to worst part ..
cleaning ..
maybe im just lazy or really irresponsible .. or i'd never go very far in life .. but after having a meal which i made .. im not really in the mood to clean ..
what usually happens is .. i'd not clean .. and then start eating out when the dishes start to pile up ..
sometimes, i clean before i eat .. like the pans and all .. but then i'd rather jump right into my food after its cooked ..

I love to cook. I hate to clean up. We have a small kitchen. I seem to be able to make it look like a bomb has hit it when I cook. I'm glad I am home alone when I am doing it. The dogs keep hoping that I will drop something! I do get it spotless before my sweet hubby gets home.

Of course I don't like to chop onions. I always cry doing it. But the thing I really don't like and would be happy if someone else could do it is washing dishes after cooking or after meals. My husband doesn't like it either. My Mom always protests. So usually it my Dad's responsibility :)

I don't mind cooking too much. The smell of ground beef cooking sometimes makes me feel sick. Sometimes I wear medical gloves to cut up onions, garlic, etc. All the stinky stuff!

I'm the same way. I hate to clean up afterward. It's not as bad if the dishwasher is already empty and all I have to do is dump the stuff in there, but if it's full of clean dishes, then I feel like I have to do dishes while cooking. I guess maybe I'm lazy, too, but it seems to be the worst part for me, as well. :) I find that cleaning as I go works best, but I don't always feel like it.

I am a very messy cook. The whole kitchen looks like a street market after I cook. Washing the dishes after having my meal is no big worry for me... the worry lies in tidying up the kitchen!

I hate the cleaning too! And the waiting... I'm so bad about being organized enough to cook before I'm hungry, so by the time I get hungry and have to wait around for my food to cook I'm starving! But the cleaning is way worse...part of life, I guess!

I agree with you .. once finished with cooking i am bored to clean so I often clean before I sit to eat .. then I can be at peace while I relish the food .. so that also goes to say that I am pretty good cook .. i can prepare a variety of traditional indian delicacies .. and people at home appreciate the effort greatly ..
also i hate it when i have to cook something really fast .. or i have very less preparation time .. i need a little time to compose myself before cooking or I am bound to mess up .. hurry definitely ruins the whole cooking experience ..

I don't really like cooking at all but unfortunately I can't get away from it. I detest the washing up after it, and I will always try to wash everything and put it away as I go along, even if it means keeping the food warm in the oven. I couldn't enjoy me meal if I had to face all the washing up afterwards.

I also hate cleaning up the mess after cooking, and I do not want to see many things piled up for washing. So what I do is put my thrash straight to the garbage, wash up and tidy up the kitchen while waiting for my food to cook.

I'm with you. I hate the clean-up afterwards. I do my best to put things away and clean up as I go along. But I always end up with a mess after, and I hate cleaning it up. Thankfully I have teenagers that take turns doing the dishes on the week days, but I try not to make huge dinners during the week because we've all had busy days. I never buy them, but I sure can see the point of convenience dinner kits!

I agree with you in that the cleaning is the worst part of cooking. If I make a big meal for my family we started this. I cook the mea and whoever doesn't help with the cooking is in charge of the clean-up duty. It doesn't work that way everytime but it helps a little.
