It happens to me fairly often. Usually, it’s with food I find less than appetizing, but it’s not bad by any means. I think the problem stems from the fact that I cooked for about 8 years for my job. There was a lot of standing and eating, tasting dishes as I went, cooking food that I was never going to eat while I was hungry, etc…
Does anyone else share this problem?
Varies for me. Sometimes I can’t wait to dig in, other times I’m over it by the time it’s done. I think the more complicated the recipe is and the longer it takes, the less appetizing it is. My wife is the same way.
It’s like the marathon of anticaption kills it.
I think there’s maybe a lesson in there. Don’t look forward too much to good things, and don’t dread too much the bad things.
