on eating at home

cordjostlerI am generally kind of adverse to eating at home. I was just pondering this.. I want to make some black bean dip, which is super simple, but also something I haven't done in a long time, and I think both the uncertainty of the recipe's success as well as a generally uncertain time to prepare (even though it's just like dumping some cumin in a can of beans) kind of puts me off.
I will cook hot dogs, or a piece of salmon at home sometimes, but these are very known timeframes and outcomes.
Also thinking I would rather try to make a recipe not when I am at the point of meal time. if it fails, I'm going to be left hungry. (or unsatisfied?) But also, I am less likely to eat "leftovers," if I were to make it at a non-meal time. I think part of this is that when I'm freesytling a schedule, I don't know I need to eat until I -need- to eat.
I don't know if this is really a thing, but it seems like a viable part of it. There's probably something here about novelty too.
