Cooking a steak takes 5 minutes. You make a side salad while it’s frying. Everything goes into the dishwasher in a few more minutes. Not sure what your problem is…
Thanks! Now my girlfriend has dumped me because I ruined her cast iron pan.
leftovers are the goal
Slow cooker is fren
Turns beef into beef flavored chicken, I love it.
just cook bigger portions, i usually make enough food to last half a week
I’ve been eating the same two-pound portion of taco meat for the past four days. Usually in soft-shell tacos, but sometimes in frittatas. The trick is to be dead inside.
You’re not dead inside until you move to hard tacos.
You forgot the 40+ hours of work a week just to afford the ingridients.
You forgot breathing in and out 24/7 to stay alive to get to your soul-sucking job.
Yep, you don’t cook.
Thanks for your input, Chef Boyardee. I always make sure to put great store in ad-hominems from fictional canned MRE mascots. Take your shitty ravioli high horse and go ride off into the sunset with the Sunkist tuna.
Lucky you! I’ve got a simple solution, only use single use plastic, then all you have to do is just put a big plastic bag over your table and when you’re done eating you just pick up the bag, close it all up and throw it away and that way you just leave the problem to your grandchildren and they’ll die from climate change.
climate change AND microplastics in their food
You do the cooking with single use plastic too?
Tin foil, tin pans, microwave. Be more creative!
For a more balanced diet you could also use yang pans.
Now your comment makes no sense, bazinga!
TV dinner.
I prefer computer monitor dinner.
Genius!!!
My solution is just to act like I’m cooking for 12 people, and have leftovers for the rest of the week.
Yep I batch cook too, I make 4 portions then eat 2 and freeze 2. Eating over 2 days obvs
Yup, I’m doing the same. Cooking 4 portions, then eating them all while crying
Weekly meal prep. Yeah it means repeated meals, but you can switch it up every week. It’s the only way I get by. Plus I feed 5-6 people. So I’m not making one meal at a time, I’m making twenty or thirty.
The one who cooks shouldn’t be the one to clean unless, of course, you live alone.
My demented father cannot even use the bathroom correctly. He will not help me.
What happened to all that Spaghetti-Ohs money?
I live alone and I think this is a great idea
Hmm… Maybe after dinner, take a walk and ask random strangers to do your dishes. 😆
Hire prostitutes and make them do your dishes. Tell them it’s your kink.
And here I get the side eye and a sigh when I want to talk about my feelings together. 😢
At that point, we’re just doing the dishes and talking about our feelings.
Avocado and canned tuna for the win baby.
Meals in countries that take food seriously last longer and are meant to be enjoyed with family and friends. Its just our shitty culture that causes this problem.
What do you mean by countries that take food seriously? I lived in a few different countries (never in the US) and can’t really picture that
If food is viewed and enjoyed as an experience rather than a necessity as a culture, I think it leads to huge shifts in so many aspects of daily living.
I dont mean EVERY meal but getting together with neighbors, family, friends ect. is more common in places like Italy for example.
The US also has literal holidays centered around sharing a meal with friends or family. Thanksgiving turkey, 4th of July barbecue…
I’d wager the reason people eat in 10 minutes instead of an hour is the same as it is everywhere else: after an 8 hour workday, you feel like all you’ve got between work and sleep is a few hours and you don’t want to waste it on something boring like eating.
That very American response speaks for itself.
I’m not American, I’m Estonian lmao, but I bet you’re one of those Americans who wants to seem cultured so you talk about how much better things are in other countries? Am I wrong?
Edit: Nvm, Canadian - but up till like 2 months ago you guys were America Lite tbh
Estonia is Russia lite my bro. Or Poland lite. Take your pick I guess. Whoever owned your ass the most recently.
How old is this woman, and where does her hairline start? Is she in her 30s or 60s? Is her hair blonde or white?
Old, near the top, but it still flows down. Dunno exact age. Blonde, but not everyone loses hair color.
Pretty sure it’s from a film (I can’t remember which)
- the character had cancer.It’s Pamela Anderson in “The Last Showgirl”
Oh! That explains why things are this way! She’s in-between all these things. Good for her! She’s aging in her own way and it’s wonderful!
I think it might be from The Skeleton Key.
Just spend 2 hours eating, easy
I wash as I cook. Usually you have moments when you’re waiting anyway. Means I have serving dishes only afterwards.
Had to make it a habit though in order to force myself to do it. Took years to train the habit.
I do that, but the more complicated the meal, the less down time there is, and the more stuff there is you can’t clean up until the end.
Also, if you use serving dishes, rather than just serve out of the pot / pan, that’s another thing to clean. It’s true that cleaning a pot or pan is normally a bit harder than a serving dish. But, IMO the extra bit to clean means it’s not worth it.
It is a bit of a triumph when the only thing to clean after dinner is a single pot or pan though. And, pro-tip, you can make the pans easier to clean after dinner if you dump a bit of water in them as you’re sitting down to eat. Even 30 minutes is enough to turn the remains of a delicious sauce into sludge at the bottom of the pan. But, soaking while you eat makes it super quick to scrape it out afterwards.
I’m trying to not do that, because I always forget that I’ll need the things I’ve just washed again.
This is what I do, so nice to have just a few dishes at the end
Clean as you go and there is very little left to be done after the meal.
Remember, you are dealing with people that never cook, and for some reason think they know what they’re talking about.
