How much time here do people spend actually cooking the food they eat? To
make the data more useful, calculate the time you spent over the past week
in total.
I probably average 2 hours a day, but over the past week it's been 4. My
eldest was staying with us before flying away to graduate school in
Scotland. Last week, I cooked all the family favorites. #2 child is
working in the area after finishing her undergraduate degree. She's been
home weekends, and I've been cooking extra for her to eat during the week.
I work from home, and still have two college-student sons living at home.
My daughter worked as a research assistant on a drought-tolerant
chickpea genetics project at school. Each year's data yielded several
tons of chickpeas from strains that come from all over the world. She
brought home 12 gallons of dried chickpeas from India, Morocco, Spain,
Turkey, Greece, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran, as well as hybrid
varieties that do well in drought conditions.
Every weekend she comes home, I make falafel (because it's a good summer
supper) with one of the chickpea varieties. I figure that, if I cook
chickpeas one day a week, the supply will last close to 15 years.
I have quite a few chickpea recipes and can alter other recipes to
include chickpeas, but I'd welcome a few more to round out my repertoire.
