well...since I know you Dej, I know how you shop, I know how well you cook, how you enjoy cooking, how well you plan out meals, what a great organizer you are... that you post this question says you have to feel absolutely craptacular! otherwise you would have already done what Lady suggested.

I say go for it, give the cook a try. sounds like you have already wasted a lot of money thinking maybe in a day or 2 you would feel like cooking, etc. and that aint happening so far. Give her a try and see how it goes, remove the stress of worrying about a decent meal from your plate
