Pro tip: You can just eat the ingredients straight from the fridge.

[–] makeitwonderful@lemmy.sdf.org 28 points 1 week ago (3 children)

For breakfast, 1 serving honey from the jar and 1 serving apple butter also from the jar. Lunch will be every pepperoni in the house. Dinner is handfuls of shredded cheese paired with a few bites of a raw carrot and frozen cookie dough for dessert.

If you're going to eat the cheese straight, why not just get the un-shredded version? Then you can cut chunks off, or alternatively just bite it straight off the block.

[–] makeitwonderful@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 week ago

Because the regular cheese was the snacking cheeses and I ate the last of it days ago. Keep forgetting to stop at the store on the way home so now I'm surviving on ingredient cheese.

[–] odelik 6 points 1 week ago

Lost the cheese after I took it out of the fridge, put it down, grabbed a knife, and turned around and it was gone. Started looking for it, forgot what I was doing and why I had a knife. 15 minutes later I'm in the living room shaving a yak with a kitchen knife and my wife walked in, looked at me and asked me why there was a block of cheese on the TV stand, completely ignoring the fact that I'm shaving a yak with a kitchen knife in the living room.

I like the apple butter on toast, although my husband has been known to eat it from the jar with a spoon!

[–] JohnnyMac@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Those little sargento cheese+nut packs are a godsend. Had 2 of them for dinner last night.

I keep baby carrots washed and on the top shelf of the fridge, along with apples and such, for just this purpose.

Raw egg right into my mouth.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

Depending on the country where you live that could be dangerous

Literally. But I'm doubly fucked in the sense of being a responsible adult because when my boyfriend hears me open the fridge, he will immediately go: Honey, I'll make you something. I'm 99% sure he is possessed by the ghost of a Mediterranean mom.

He's taken to making me fucking brunch everyday since he went on summer break. Soft boiled egg, oatmeal porridge with cinnamon sugar and small dollop of butter, a plate of cherries, pineapple, grapes, cucumber and carrots. The occasional pastry for dessert if he SENSES I'd like it. I never have to tell him anything. He just knows.

I don't deserve him.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You should put a ring on him

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As unromantic as it sounds, we agreed long ago that marriage wasn't in the cards for us. So no rings, but we definitely are each other's Precious ❤️

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Who said anything about marriage?

Did OP image not render for you?

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is the best thing I've read today :)

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 12 points 1 week ago

Yeah, he is pretty great. A unicorn of a person, if I may be so humble. His students have described him as "too perfect". I don't disagree. I used to joke that he was the second coming of christ but instead of saving the world he decided to dedicate his life to saving my chaotic ass. I dont take it for granted.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

my adhd ass loves cooking. but I can't plan, so at best I do groceries for one or two meals, and have little to no other food at home.

[–] etherphon@piefed.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Same, I'm an excellent cook and can make about anything, but I end up eating the same things almost every day unless I get a blessed wind of inspiration.

Fun challenge, give me your favourite recipe and I'll give you mine and we have to do them within the weekend?

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Highly recommend meal kit delivery services. You spend a few minutes every month picking out recipes that look tasty. Then every week they send you a box with the recipes and ingredients.

It's great for me because I enjoy the cooking aspect but hate planning a meal and all the shopping.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sounds nice, but no way I would execute such high demanding task like research if those things exist, which ones are good and schedule it all 😅

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, I lucked out because my spouse signed us up for it. So I just go in every once in a while and pick stuff I want to eat. If I forget, they choose recipes for you based on what they "think" you'd like (or if you have favorited recipes in the app.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That sounds really nice. Where I lived before there was a service that would bring ready made food daily for lunch, but you had to choose everyday the night before what you'd want and the time window to be delivered, which means I never even tried the service. Some friends said it was a nice thing.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Is there shredded cheese?

Dumb question, there is always shredded cheese if you remembered to go shopping. The real question is if it is grated to the appropriate size to shovel into your maw.

Is that why I do this? I even buy ingredients for food that will take me 2 minutes to cook but I still just starve

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

unmedicated me: opens fridge, eyes go opposite directions, sigh, take medication with bite of protein bar

medicated me: SPENDS 6 HOURS PREPARING AN ELABORATE DISH AND MAKING A GIANT MESS AND THEN I'M SO EXHAUSTED I BARELY ENJOY IT

unmedicated me tomorrow: FUCK there's a giant mess and a bunch of leftovers i don't want

(i am a huge bitch)

[–] WorldsDumbestMan 6 points 1 week ago

Sadly yeah....ADHD paralysis instantly, I instantly get nervous and go do something else

[–] hankthetankie@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Except on the rare occasion when there's fresh bread in the morning. Over the entire kitchen and living room. And a pile of dishes that won't be done until there is no utensils left.

[–] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Not at all. Cooking, especially making use of random ingredients, actually hits just right for a good flow state. Prepping, cooking, and cleaning up simultaneously. chef_kiss
