I Tried To Cook All My Meals At Home For A Week And Surprisingly Didn’t Fail Spectacularly

It occurred to me that I might be slightly addicted to Postmates one fateful day when I looked at my recent orders and saw that I’d placed one every day for the past week. Some days it was dinner for myself and my boyfriend when we were too lazy cook, others it was lunch to sadly eat at my desk. One day I even ordered bone broth—something that’s already expensive before you add in the delivery fee. The app just made it so convenient to order whatever I wanted, and since I was buying it for sustenance/to help me get through the workday, it was an expense I easily (though not accurately) justified. So I decided to cleanse my life of takeout and commit to cooking at home for an entire week. Things… didn’t exactly go as planned.
