The miserable cooking in Seattle winter

Sometimes when you think the winter is over,
Thank god and it's time to reduce your clothing wear,

and you can now get away from the outdoors fear,
you check the temps, and you oventure your way out,
and discover it's all been a lie, and the weather
has turned, the spring is no more near
it can be hard for a person of single existence
to cook again for more than base sustenance,
and so in recent days, all I have been making
is food enough and sufficient to keep me sustaining
to power the basic survival systems, get the hearts running,
and not much else, because the cold takes away
all the drive and motive and energy
to innovate and learn and tech, and laziness holds sway
And one begins to think,
at least in the past when I made sandwiches
and things as such,
they might not always have been healthy, yes
but at least there was diversity in color and texture
and one could experiment around with the options,
but now I pay much less,
and the choices of options is even low so,
it's two 'base carbs' and some proteins from whatever source,
there is nutrition that's hard to deny,
but there's not much joy,
in the buildings that stand start,
from everything else,
happening at the park....
