A friend of mine is like this. Sends me a picture of a decent looking steak, alone on a plate, captioned “Dinner looking good!”
Hug them sometimes.
Hug that poor bastard, cooking what they want in a simple, quick, and cheap way. So sad. \s
Add a side of sauted veggies and a slice of buttered toast and that’s all you’d need
Well yeah, like the OP, the stuff that makes the meal interesting is missing. Like eating pasta without sauce, or a bowl of broth with nothing else in it.
Yesterday for dinner, I microwaved some red Leicester cheese on a plate, and then I scooped it onto a tortilla. I feel this image
Why not microwave it on the tortilla?
Because I was originally planning on just having the plate of cheese until I discovered there were a couple of leftover tortillas which would make the “meal” marginally less miserable.
Though I think that melting it on the tortilla wouldn’t have worked as well: the melted cheese had a wee layer of oil which I poured off onto a paper towel; also, to melt the cheese, I had to do it in a few short blasts, rearranging/“stirring” the cheese each time. I think that had I done this on the tortilla, it would have become a soggy mess.
Your question is a good one though, and I hadn’t considered it until I read your comment.
For whatever it’s worth, I always think of cheese plates as being pretty fancy.
It may be salt is missing. I’ve also put it in a sandwich with either spicy mustard or hummus
DAE get really hungry, but at the same time you just don’t want to eat? Not that you don’t want to eat what you have, you just don’t want to eat anything despite your stomach growling and hurting because it’s been almost a full day without anything to eat?
I’m the other way. I’m not hungry but I just want to eat
Many a day ends with sliced cheese at 11pm.
Got me
My experience living alone is just rice from a rice cooker and/or whatever I feel like throwing in the air fryer or the steamer.
It’s not too bad and you get a decent variety. Steamed foods can be veggies, dumplings, etc. Air fryer for salmon, chicken, potatoes, etc.
Dont have to manage any of it other than setting a timer for when its done.
Every so often I throw together soup which is usually just tossing a lot of ingredients into a pot. That’s like the most effort I really put on a daily basis.
“Can’t” be hard, or “can” be hard? Seems like the second option is more natural for that sentence.
“doesn’t have to be hard” is another option.
How did you get in my kitchen?
