Fellow eggers. Have you ever just wanted to cook.

I just finished a 21hr shift. I've been awake since 5am yesterday. It's 8:35pm. You do the math.

Too late to cook. Wife and kids are not here. I'm 3 into a 6 pack. And just wanna f-n cook.

Anyone ever felt like that?

    I have felt your pain on more than one occasion my friend. I'm forced to go offshore at times, and brother out there 16 hours is a short shift. March thru May of this year I was out there working doubles and splits. Yes sir, I have been in your shoes.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    My problem is kid schedules. Not bitching cause they grow up too fast, but yes, sometimes I just want to cook! Had that problem last week after 7 hrs at a gym.

    Get the feeling quite frequently.  In my case I attribute it to the SWMBO eggscape time associated with the event.  That and the adult supervisory beverages.  :)>-

    I feel that way quite often. If I were in your position I would do a quick cook (steak or burger or brats) then put on a butt or brisket.

    I know it's a curse..I've stocked up on a pile of proteins to get my fix. Yard birds, turkey, loins, game hens, sausage etc.
    Since they require different cooking times I can fit something in..the Looftlighter helps too.

    I would much rather be able to say I was glad I did than wished I had........

    All I can say is that this forum is evil. All the good food I see and the different ways to cook has me ALWAYS wanting to cook. Lately my days off have been sneaking up on me and I haven't been able to plan as much as I would like to. The list of cooks is getting long.

    I too, understand your pain, when work gets too hectic, and I don't have the time, I'll actually use a sick or vacation day and sit around and egg all day and stuff myself, great therapy as far as I'm concerned.

    I keep glancing over your title and keep hearing the intro to "rehab addict" where she says "I just want brick!"
