I live in an area where taking public transport to get food adds between 2 and 3 hours to get to the nearest shops. I avoid shopping on the weekend. There’s a bulk food order that goes out on Friday or Saturday night but I can’t imagine what I’ll feel like eating on the following Monday, let alone Wednesday. Sometimes I’ll do bulk food prep and by the time I’ve finished preparing the food I’m so disgusted by the idea of food (especially that food) that I don’t eat it, which is also the case if I’ve eaten the same meal multiple times in a row. I apparently will just wait out the clock (food goes off) instead of eating food I don’t want to. I don’t like pasta (again, the main thing motivating me to eat pasta is the threat of someone yelling at me, hunger alone isn’t enough).
Uber eats and taking ubers to go shopping is expensive. The freezer is full because there’s five people living entirely separate lives in the household.
idk what I’m supposed to be doing. It’s hard to eat at all even if I wasn’t trying to be healthy, meat reduction etc.
I recently got a full time job after about a decade of no employment, so I pretty much don’t have energy on weekdays either.
Oh, that’s much better then. Try pickled vegetables (carrots, onions, peppers, kimchi, etc), a fried egg (sorry vegans), peanuts, furikake, or frozen vegetables (if you have a steamer tray and convince your roommates to give you some freezer room). Those all keep a long time where they’re stored, so you can have some variety without planning.
My steamer tray disappeared! I know I have one but I lost it in the last 3 moves! My alternatives haven’t been super successful :/
That sucks!
The ones with the legs work in any rice cooker (that they fit in) though, and you can get them for less than $10 on Amazon.
I hold out hope that a mysterious flanged plate with holes in it will appear
Somebody turned it into a frisbee.
:(
If you have a lidded pot, you can do the frozen vegetables on the stove just put a little oil and water in the pot, cover it so it don’t splash you and let it rip for a minute or two.
