I agree that it's a bit tricky to define what counts as cooking in general. However, if you focus on the Bulgarian Dish challenge, it gets easier, I think. Шопска salad counts for a dish (but you know how to make that one already). Making баница with store-bought кори counts, but baking store-bought frozen баница doesn't. And миш-маш definitely counts, even tough it's only peppers, tomatoes, eggs and cheese fried together :)

And about Bulgarian girls not cooking - so, so true. I only started recently, after I moved in with my boyfriend. I now try to cook enough food so that we have something cooked for dinner every day, but this basically means two-three dishes a week and the occasional meal of salami, cheese and salads, bought from the store, when I'm too lazy to get in the kitchen :)

So have you decided what you will cook in February?
