And with this season, we are continuing last season's topic, which was adulting. The idea of what did we think adulting was going to be, being an adult was going to be? How did we get it wrong? How did we get it right?
How are we continually getting it wrong? And how we're actually still four-year-olds. Is that about?
That's exactly how I would have put it. I don't know how you got that word for word.

Chapter 4: How can you effectively freeze leftovers?
Subset one.
Grocery shopping. Tom, I do like to cook. In fact, you could say I love cooking. Oh, why don't you marry it? But when we... No. When we got married, my wife and I, Kira. Oh, that's why. We had... You're already taken. Asked and answered. When we got married, there was sort of a deal that we made. And of course, when we were courting... I was doing everything I could to make a good impression.
And so I, you know, do you want to go to the grocery store?
Chapter 5: What are the theological implications of coriander?
Yes, let's do couples grocery storing. And we go to the grocery store and secretly I really didn't care for it. I don't care for grocery stores. We'll talk more about that in a minute. Oh, OK. And but the tradeoff was she notoriously hates laundry. And so for 26 years, we've had a division of labor that includes I do the laundry. She does the grocery shopping.
And in that time, I think my disdain for the grocery store experience has calcified. It's even worse. I don't care for grocery stores. And I think it's because, and I pose this as a question to you, when you cook and you have to go to the grocery store, do you see ingredients for what you're cooking? Or do you see just outcomes?
Like in your head, do you have like, I'm going to make this, what's going to be on my plate is what I see the ingredients for here. Or do you just see products?
Chapter 6: How does the death of the Choco Taco relate to mortality?
I'm sorry to be a roadblock for the very first question on season 11, but do I see products or do I see ingredient? I don't know if I understand the difference.
Well, here's the thing.
Please.
If I have a meal that I'm cooking for, right, that I am cooking toward, then I can see a list of ingredients and I can go to the store and eventually find those ingredients. But if I don't have a meal, like if I just need to go do weekly shopping, I just see a list of unrelated labels everywhere. And I don't know what any of those products are best at. Right.
Like it's not that I don't like vegetables per se. I'll eat a good vegetable. It's just that none of the most of the vegetables in the vegetable area don't have job descriptions.
Right.
I don't know what the hell is like. Like, what do I do with rutabaga and kohlrabi and bok choy? And like, they're not they're not food.

Chapter 7: What are the challenges of cooking for one?
They're like Instagram content. Right. Like, I don't know what to do with them. So I know things like apples, apples and bananas. They've got great PR. I know exactly what to do with those. Sure. I can just eat them. But once you hit that robust produce wall, it's just crazy. Culinary improv. And if I don't know what I'm going to eat for the week, I can't plan for the week.
And I'm terrible at thinking about what I'm going to eat for like next meal plus one. Like it's almost lunchtime as we record this. And I have a pretty good idea what I'm going to eat for lunch. No idea what dinner is going to bring.
Chapter 8: How can we navigate the emotional aspects of cooking and meal planning?
So how can I plan for it? Now I understand your question and I'm definitely side in one part, which is I go in with a plan. Okay. I'm never browsing. I'm never browsing in the shopping. Sometimes I'll pick something up that seems like fun, but no, I'm going in with an exact plan of ingredients of what I need for what I get for that thing.
And I'm actually talking about cooking for one, cooking for just myself. So I'll be talking about my experience with that. But yeah, no, I don't. So I don't really have that. freeze up thing of, wait, I'm just looking at an enormous store filled with options and I don't know what to pick because I've already chosen. Probably based on some TikTok I saw, honestly.
Well, I think that's really important. And I bring up my wife and my roles because she has a very different take on it. She likes to plan too, but she also has a very intimate relationship with ingredients. Like she knows what these ingredients are best at. So she can improvise in the kitchen in a way that I cannot. She could just say, here's a recipe. This is the thing.
Here's a recipe with 10 ingredients and we maybe have six of them and she'll make it anyway because six is that line. She'll take four core ingredients and That we don't have and figure out how to make it anyway. And that, my eyes are like star studded when I see that. I am so impressed by that. And it further highlights how far I am from it and why I get paralyzed in the grocery store.
I love this. And I was actually going to talk, I'm going to bring part of what I was going to talk about up here to talk about it with you. Because, yeah, what she's doing is she's playing jazz. it's not the ingredients. It's grocery jazz. Whereas I at best am a sous chef. I need everything spelled out. Yeah. Like everything I'm following exact ingredients. I have huge recipe anxiety.
And so I look, I look at it and I look at it again and I look at it again because I can't, I'm in awe of people that can just like Like, what is it? Oh, Will Smith in Six Degrees of Separation when he just opens the fridge. And he's like, why go out? You got all this stuff. And he has like an onion and a half of a jar of mayonnaise. And he makes this beautiful dinner.
Like being able to just throw things together. I have no instinct for. And the reason I have recipe anxiety is because I look at it. I don't have the common sense or at least the courage, not the confidence to. To not know, well, obviously it's not three tablespoons. It's three teaspoons. Yeah. Like I just, because I don't know what things are supposed to taste like.
I know what they taste like at the very end. And I have straight up ruined recipes because I mistook something. And I also, my last, and I don't mean to take over your segment, of course, but I also can't fix things because I don't have a general knowledge for it. So if like a sauce over reduces and it's a salty mess, it's going in the sink and I'm ordering it. That's it.
Cause I don't know how to do anything. Yeah. So I, I love that she can do that. And I've had meals at your place. She whipped together a beautiful poke bowl. It was actually the first poke bowl I've ever had in my life. And it was remarkable. So, yeah, I can't do any of that. So I'm very impressed.
