I hate when I see a video going “here is my go-to lazy meal for when I’m totally beat” and the first thing they do is start chopping an onion.
A lazy meal is a bag of beige crap from the freezer, dumped into an oven tray and left for 20 minutes on gas mark 8. If it’s more effort than that, you can stick it.
it’s like when someone uploads a video of “cheap diy project” and half the materials is a couple hundred dollars of stuff they already own from previous projects. or “cheap optiplex gaming pc” and the gpu is a rtx 3090 nvidia gave them for free for being a tech youtuber.
Oven? Why be such an overachiever? If it requires more than 1 button press on the microwave I’m just gonna eat it cold.
If you get used to cooking chopping an onion isn’t work.
That depends. Saying that as someone who trained as a chef. There are levels of exhaustion.
Agreed. I cook every single meal my family eats, one onion is under 30 seconds of faff. Even thin-sliced.
I buy frozen chopped onions and pepper and onion mix because I fucking hate chopping. Admittedly, the peppers aren’t as good vs fresh, but I will deal with subpar peppers to not have to chop anything. I will say, one annoying thing is fewer and fewer grocery stores stock frozen chopped onions, likely due to lower margins because they are usually dirt cheap, like $1/ bag.
Word to your mother.
Damn, he put pepper on the mac and cheese for you? He must be really fond of you.
I never complain about someone giving me prepared food. I spend so much of my life obtaining, storing, preparing, and cleaning up after making food that I see any meal given to me as a wonderful gift of time.
And that’s the fancy Mac and cheese with the cheese in the pouch, not even the powder one.
Let them cook.
Cook what though?
IDK, not saying this isn’t a good meal, but I seems to me this kind of post just implies that most men can’t cook for shit. Most of my male friends are good cook and can make much better meals than that. Guessing it’s an amrrican thing.
Isn’t professional cooking even male dominated? AFAICT most kitchen chefs are male. That always made this weird stereotype of “women belong in the kitchen” and “men can’t cook” super weird to me.
I think that’s possibly the single most sexist stereotype: “Cooking is for women, unless you’re really really good at it”
I broke the cycle. My mom is an awful cook, and I can turn any red meat into goodness.
Most red meat can be turned good by simply existing. So long as you don’t burn it, it’s hard to fuck it up too bad otherwise.
Montreal steak seasoning, soy sauce, and 40 minutes at 350 will make any red meat amazing though.
pretty much, but funny thing is people marrying a chef expecting gourmet meals, just get microwave slop.
Can relate. There’s a saying “if you turn your hobby into a job, you no longer have a hobby.”
Like any food, it depends on if it was frozen/boxed or actually cooked. If that mac is homemade then kudos to the cook
You wouldn’t believe how proud I was of the spaghetti I made for my date when I was 18 yo.
Boy dinner.
Mmm. Looks good. So long as those aren’t fish sticks -_-
That’s basically a marriage proposal.
Literally making this right now
If the cheese and meat is good, then this is a really nice dinner. Add a simple salad to that and its perfect.
simple salad
Is coke okay?
I forgot which bag is which, so don’t blame me if you end up in a hole
Gotta be Mountain Dew, it’s green.
Just Dew it!
I usually do the coke after eating so I don’t spoil my appetite.
takes notes
What, like cola? Or cocaine?
Little bit of column A, little bit of column B
Can I come to yours for dinner?
You need to find some in your Halloween candy like everyone else :P
Awww maaaaan
Either way, please reuse the straw
Fun fact: consuming coca leaves (from which cocaine is made) is legal in some Latin American countries. It helps with nausea.
Is the natural concentration pretty high? This made me think of poppy seeds
Not really, you gotta chew a lot or drink a lot of tea to feel anything and then it’s more like drinking a few cups of coffee
It’s good for the altitude sickness
So it really is like poppies
Haven’t tried poppies yet in large enough quantities to feel anything, but I’d assume yes. Also similar to other mild natural drugs, like Khat or Kava or Nutmeg
It should be legal everywhere. It’s only dangerous in refined form. Nobody would snort pure caffeine cause you would literally just die. But in its natural concentration it’s not that harmful and can even have beneficial effects in moderation. Coca leaves are the same way honestly.
Coca cola is still flavored with (decocainized) coca leaves.
We don’t have Coke, is Pepsi okay?
No. I’ll take a water.
Water? Like out of the toilet?
I understood that reference!
Mountain Dew at least so it’s green. Go all the way!
The super salad for me, please.

He put pepper on the macaroni, he truly went all-out
Where’s the bread crumbs?
He used that to make the tenders.
Panko no less. We have a chef on our hands
On the carpet.
