Restaurants kept me alive. As a single, pre-pandemic, I loved food but hardly bought groceries and disliked cooking for one. When I ate at home, it would take me an hour or longer to get ready, ten minutes to eat, and another thirty minutes or so to clean up. Because it took up so much time and felt labor intensive, I wouldn’t do it for a while. Whatever food I had in the fridge would go bad, making me feel even worse. The whole experience was unpleasant and wasteful.
