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.

Avocado and canned tuna for the win baby.
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?
TV dinner.
Genius!!!
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.
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
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. 😆

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.

Imagine if you had to hunt for it.
And after all that cooking turns out you have leftovers for like 1 extra meal at best
Skill issue.
Clean as you go and there is very little left to be done after the meal.
