I had a roommate once that whenever he made something that had bacon in the recipe he made a whack of extra bacon as "snacking bacon" so he wouldn't run short for the meal.
"Outdoor bacon tastes better than indoor bacon."
I noticed this stitched into the inside trim of my favourite mec backpack while camping about a year after I purchased it.

Made a salmon sandwich for lunch.
While cooking comes naturally to me and I have too much time on my hands at tne moment... most meals don't actually take that much time. You just need a little bit of meal planning, prep time and a few short cuts.
Jamie's 15 minute meals ( Jamie Oliver) is a great series to show how to make great meals fast by showing you all the short cuts to prep and cook in no time. Then you just need to have a little imagination and be flexible with your ingredients.
And I just have food on my brain all day....thinking about what needs to be used up from the fridge, do I have something to make sauce? What's my starch going to be? Do I have a certain spice for a theme? Italian seasoning? Curry? Cumin? Ginger? Garlic? Pesto? Wine? I just start thinking about taste, ingredients, method of cooking and it all comes together!
