As some of you know, for the duration of this project I have not been eating much meat even though my diet has been lacking in protein. I have made one dish (turkey lasagna) that includes meat. This is not because I dislike meat or am becoming a vegetarian. I like bacon to much. I have even had 4 chicken breasts and a pound of ground beef in my freezer for the past 3 weeks. So why?
To be honest, I am scared to cook meat. I have never cooked it on my own (a friend was over when I made turkey lasagna). I unsure how to season it, even with a recipe. I am afraid of making myself sick with undercooked meat but also afraid of overcooking or worse burning it and setting off the smoke alarm (that thing is LOUD). I also am grossed out by blood, and raw meat kinda goes into that category. It is icky and slimy.
I know all these are excuses and I just need to get over it and cook the meat so that I can have protein. I learn by doing and by following someone's example. Basically what I am saying is does anyone want to come over and keep me company/ help me as I make a meat dish? Help me conquer my fear. Encouragement in the comments is also appreciated.
There are cooking classes at BSU that you can take if you are really interested in it.
