AN EXCELLENT GIF. (I sob at that movie every. damn. time.)
Your point about not knowing what you enjoy—yes, that definitely gets in my way, but only when I'm cooking for myself. I'm fine when I'm cooking for me and my boyfriend, or my friends, or anybody else besides me, really; it's when I'm alone that I forget that I has tastes, know roughly have to create them.
Sometimes I just stand in front of the cupboard and contemplate making the thing I used to make when I was so unhappy, but that wasn't food, not really.
Also, I would love to have the life experience of standing on a beach, about to fight, with that gallon bucket of Maldon salt.
Cooking with or for other people definitely inspires me more than cooking solo! Tbh when I'm by myself I usually just end up with stuff on bread. Sometimes it's great. Sometimes it's peanut butter.
Peanut butter on toast = a perfect meal. I still think about the first time I had the peanut butter toast with cilantro and Sriracha from A Baked Joint here in DC: revelatory.
