| 0:00.0 | I have all that mom, Gil, you know, because I have a group text with two of my best friends, |
| 0:08.2 | and we talk about meals frequently. |
| 0:11.3 | And we were actually just talking about it before I joined you. |
| 0:14.6 | And one was talking about how she's going to be in a sports season, but she is also working |
| 0:20.1 | on okaying with herself that |
| 0:22.4 | dinner happens at 7 p.m. And I'm like, that's kind of where I'm at now. I need to be okay with |
| 0:28.1 | myself that dinner is 7 p.m. and a vegetable's coming out of a can if we have a vegetable. |
| 0:35.8 | And that's okay. Welcome to Didn't I Just Feed You, a podcast for |

| 1:25.5 | of that in the interview, but Kristen also shared that she used to love cooking. |
| 1:30.4 | So I'm curious if we feel like that's truly like that she hates to cook or is it more that she's overwhelmed? |
| 1:37.6 | And is actually that true for a lot of people who hate to cook? |
| 1:40.4 | What's your take on that, Stacey? |
| 1:42.3 | Yeah, well, you just said it. |
| 1:43.4 | I think you did it. |
| 1:52.4 | That was so neat and tidy. I think, and we talk about this a little bit, I do wonder, I still would love to speak with someone at some point who, like, genuinely hates to cook. Right. |
| 1:59.2 | Standing at the stove is torture to them. |
