A long as you are trying, this is all that matters
Amber not only does not like to cook, she is not interested in cooking. At first, I thought that she was not a picky eater, but now I think that she is incredibly picky. Everything she cooks uses the same large amount of seasoning as you mentioned, thus everything she cooks taste exactly the same. Even when she eats decent food, like cottage cheese, she needs to add pepper and Tapatio sauce to it. Even her salads have the same ingredients.
Amber saying that she does not want to eat meat any longer is like the drunk saying that he quit drinking. As soon as he is sober, he’ll be drinking again. Amber does not like vegetables except iceberg lettuce, corn, brocoli and potatoes. Her aversion to meats means that she will order take aways even more than before and if she eats at home, it’ll be large portion of rice and pasta.
