Also not the main cook of the house. Nor the side cook. Nor a cook at all.

I've never tried using beef bouillon but I bet it would! If you give it a shot, let me know how it goes.
@Nankuii do you mostly eat out, then? Or does someone else in your household tend to do the cooking?

Oh man. Can you cook at all?
I can cook when I have to but since I don't have much energy I am mostly a sous chef. lol. I help with all the prep and stuff.
If I try it I shall let you know.
Man, I love garlic. It's like my favorite. lol

Huh. I find that energy-wise, it's more draining for me to try and be an underchef. The washing and chopping is harder for me than the baking or spicing or actual cooking part. It's the prep that will make me not want to make anything....
interesting that for you that's the other way around.

I mostly do the chopping. I sometimes mix as well. And peel.
If it doesn't require standing up then that's something I can do alright.
I can only stand for about 5 minutes at a time without getting some severe pain in my back and hips. So that's that.

Hm, they have wheeled office chairs, now they just need to make wheeled kitchen stools, about the height of a drafting stool. That way you can zoom around the kitchen doing whatever all you want!

I'm sure that would be helpful for a lot of people.
I have to have something pretty wide to sit on. Otherwise my hips dislocate.
Also my house is not clean enough to zoom around in. lol. It's kind of a tip toe through the junk situation.

There are also ergonomic kitchen floor mats that they sell in some cooking stores (though at restaurant supply stores they are way cheaper) that help with standing tasks via foot... ergonomics? Not too sure exactly how they work, but they are gel mats and they do work pretty well.

Huh, I should look them up. Might be helpful for other places, too, besides the kitchen.

Akili: Well when I'm home, my mom mostly cooks lol But at college... I try not to eat out as much and cook at home, but really, it's super simple things.
