Ella, help!

In the last year or two I’ve really started trying to properly cook and teach myself, not necessarily in a “technical” way, more just for enjoyment and to actually eat something that feels good and tasty. I am a student and working on a small budget and I seem to be spending all my money on food and trying to make food and meals for others as well. I grew up with parents who were not great cooks and would often have poor quality meals with no flavour. So, I have had this mindset that to create good food, it must be high quality produce. That doesn’t work on my budget, yet I continue to spend all my money on nice things. At the same time, I know because I’m learning and making mistakes, it becomes a costly task when I cannot save my cooking disasters. I know I could not do this, and work better with my budget, but I find it easier said than done.

Oh babe. Hi. I continue to spend all my money on nice things spoke so clearly and vividly to my soul that I laughed out loud. It is a problem! It’s a problem, and you are right to come to me with this!
