I'm not at a year mark, but I'm working two jobs totaling about 70 hours a week and I do actual good cooking at home like 2-3 times a month. Everything else is tossing a quick salad/sandwich/instant ramen together or grabbing a deli sanwich or takeout.

for how much I shamed people for not cooking for themselves years ago, I rarely cook these days, and when I do, it's not nearly as enjoyable as it used to be. Adulting sucks. Commuting sucks. Most days I just want food to magically appear so yeah, we eat out a lot.

Totally possible. I'm stuck with an apartment with no kitchen and working 40-60 hour weeks which means the most home-made things ever get is sandwiches and porridge.

I've been living alone for a few months now, and cooking for one sucks. (yes yes, I do the "big pot of stuff" on Sunday nights, I'm not totally helpless) A lot of my dates are "hey, come over my place and let me cook you an awesome dinner", just because I need a reason to cook.

Speaking of getting back on the horse- I’ve got roasted chicken breasts from Monday night I’d like to turn into something fast over sautéed chard. I’m not coming up with anything besides chicken salad sandwiches. Thoughts?

I've been on my own for 8 months now, and I barely cook at all, unless I'm having someone over to cook for. I'm eating far too much garbage. The good news is armageddon is just around the corner so that should take me before my bad eating habits do.

Ginger Beer Belly posted:So, please don't dox me ... but this stupid gay comedy forum helped me form a relationship with my stepdaughter with cooking. One of the first serious cooking projects we did together was the absolutely ridiculous chicken-cheese thread here in Goons With Spoons where we did sous-vide chicken breasts with homemade pasta and an alfredo sauce, and that has led to her becoming quite the accomplished pasta maker and baker. She was featured on tonight's MasterChef episode and got a white apron from Gordon Ramsey. Thank you all for the education. I'm getting caught up, but this is cool AF. congrats!

The good news is armageddon is just around the corner so that should take me before my bad eating habits do. When I moved to LA and was here for a month before my wife moved out I found that only the sous vizzle saved me. I would prep on Sunday and freeze the bags. Then I woukd throw a bag in either before I left for work or when I got home every day, depending on what was in it. Then sauteed some fresh veg and called it dinner. Edit: then I quit smoking and got loving fat.

Bunch of sad mofos. I cook for one and love it. Why yes, I will make an anchovy artichoke olive pizza and not a single drat person will tell me I'm stinking up the house. Now the sad part is cleaning up and my last attempt at making fresh pasta will attest to that.

I was gifted a pasta mixer/pusher for lazy fresh pasta. Pretty easy to clean once everything dries too.

That's probably why kids grow up eating mac and cheese and chicken fingers. It's quick, low-effort, and got what kids crave.

If you thought Double Income No Children couples were insufferable, wait until you meet the Double Income No Children Sub-20 Minute Commute people.Chemmy posted:It’s mostly because that’s all they’ll eat. Eh. I was raised eating a vegetable heavy diet with a lot of variety and didn't really get exposed to or into "junk" food like chicken fingers and soda until I started being fed that stuff by my friends parents when I was over and it is what they fed their kids. Turns out kids will eat what they're given. Carrot sticks and apple slices aren't much more work than a poptart. Sextro fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Jun 29, 2018 |

As one who lives in the Inland Empire LA and commutes to Pomona.... sub 20 min commute is so unbelievable to me I can't even imagine it. That DINK lyfe ownz tho  re: kids. I'm still waiting for the desire to kick in, I dont really get the draw. I'm mostly just slightly curious what they would be like but that's not nearly enough of a reason to create another human. And that level of desire is way more than my wife's at the moment. Every time I see parents wrestling with them in restaurants making a mess, or them screaming, or the multitudes of social media posts complaining about that life I'm like, "yeah no." Even the ones where they're cute and the parents say it's "rewarding" or something seems so ridiculously disparate from the cost, both quality of life and monetarily.

Everyone kept telling me it would be different with my own kids. I kept telling them that might be true... but what if it's not? Too much to gamble. No kids for me and now that my wife is in her mid 40s no kids ever.

My son, who was born when I was 20, is almost 16. Single dadding it for all these years has been a right pain in the rear end, but I still love the kid. On the other hand, I'm getting married in October, and kids are certainly on the table. At this point in my life, at 36, I'm looking forward to it. Kids are great, especially when they get to school age. Current commute is 15 minutes from one side of Metro Vegas to the other.

There's a small takeaway dim sum place near my work that has a lunch special of a bigass bowl of congee (century egg and pork, or beef) and one order of dim sum for 6bux. Yeah I eat that a shitton

Scientastic posted:I have kids, and we cook for them every day and eat dinner together as a family... Congratulations. We both work and commute so time is tight. We still manage to get by with a combination of cooking and buying prepared stuff on the way home. Weekends we all cook together and do prep for the week, but weekdays can be stressful.
