Phrasing projects with outcome statements vs. verbs

TesTeq said:
"Cook meal" = order to do something or a vision of some work to do including peeling potatoes (I hate it).
"Meal cooked" = a vision of tasty meal on the table.

I know that some perceive a big difference between the two, but to me they are equivalent. If you rephrase it a big more, say, to "Tasty meal on the table" or "Fed and rested, ready for anything" it begins to be more significantly different than just "Cook meal".
