The No Cook Non-Cook


The No Cook Non-Cook belongs to an elite group of non-cooks who do not do any cooking to speak of and make no bones about it.  This type does not suffer from feelings of inadequacy. This type is much more likely to wrinkle her nose and say she's always been more interested in other things than wring her hands and apologize.  Perhaps it is true that many No Cook Non-Cooks also harbor reputations as bad cooks -- if so, they are fine with that, too.

Picture
This is Lillian Harris, my paternal grandmother.  In this photo, she is 103.  When I explained to her that I have been working on some ideas about not cooking and asked her permission to put this picture of her on PGN-C, she thought for a second and then said, "Sure, if it helps give a little perspective." So I present you with her here as a person who has had a long life as a non-cook.  This is a quality I will always remember and appreciate about my Gram because I feel it was one of the ways in which she has insisted, unapologetically, on being herself.
