Collected Thoughts

I hate cooking in my kitchen. That's a recurring theme. It's just so damn hard to manauver. Plus there are all these little cracks for bits of food to fall into , down to the floor or behind the cabinets (since they are built in weird).

Also, I'm lazy. I admit that. It was a hell of a lot easier to cook when I could shove everything but three pans and my knife into the dishwasher. Now, I have to handwash everything, my sink's backign up again, I need to talk to my land lady about that, since it's been doing that since I moved in.Even when it was all shiny and polished on Saturday I didn't want to cook in it. Okay I did right up until I started cooking and remembered why I hate cooking int here

And I hate cooking meat. Seriously I hate the feel of raw meat. I always have but it's just been a minor irritation and now that's pushed the forefront. I can't do anything about anything else (except maybe the sink) but I can stop cooking meat at home.

Can anyone recommend a good beginners vegetarian cookbook? Not something that's chock ful of reasons why I should be one, but something that will help with meal planning and breaking out of the meat centric thinking?
