I hate when I see a video going “here is my go-to lazy meal for when I’m totally beat” and the first thing they do is start chopping an onion.
A lazy meal is a bag of beige crap from the freezer, dumped into an oven tray and left for 20 minutes on gas mark 8. If it’s more effort than that, you can stick it.
If you get used to cooking chopping an onion isn’t work.
Agreed. I cook every single meal my family eats, one onion is under 30 seconds of faff. Even thin-sliced.
it’s like when someone uploads a video of “cheap diy project” and half the materials is a couple hundred dollars of stuff they already own from previous projects. or “cheap optiplex gaming pc” and the gpu is a rtx 3090 nvidia gave them for free for being a tech youtuber.
IDK, not saying this isn’t a good meal, but I seems to me this kind of post just implies that most men can’t cook for shit. Most of my male friends are good cook and can make much better meals than that. Guessing it’s an amrrican thing.
Isn’t professional cooking even male dominated? AFAICT most kitchen chefs are male. That always made this weird stereotype of “women belong in the kitchen” and “men can’t cook” super weird to me.
I never complain about someone giving me prepared food. I spend so much of my life obtaining, storing, preparing, and cleaning up after making food that I see any meal given to me as a wonderful gift of time.
That’s basically a marriage proposal.
Some green beans and spinach would be nice. Otherwise, looks pretty good
What is this? Girl dinner?!?!
Should’ve been dino nuggs, but apart from that I don’t see a problem here.

Vegetables.
Steamed, blanched, stir fried, raw, broiled, grilled… Depends on your preference, and depends on the vegetable, but that meal desperately needs some.
At least it’s not an absurd quantity of macaroni and deep fried… nuggets? Based on the size of the noodles, it seems to be a small plate. But, that’s an oily and greasy plate of stuff.
Even just 1 minute to chop up a bell pepper or some celery will give you a nice juicy crunch and some fiber to offset that grease and oil. And/or, with some advance planning, some nice cherry tomatoes. The acid and juice would offset the grease nicely.
Macaroni is a pasta. Pasta is made of wheat. Therefore mac and cheese is a vegetable.
Don’t forget the breading on the mechanically-separated chicken bites. And the pepper. All plant-based.
Things you say to your oncologist to explain you can’t have cancer because you live healthy.
It’s a hot meal, and the mac looks homemade, and not from a box. Girl needs to talk to her boyfriend, and stop bitching on the internet. The conversation should start like this, “Thank you for dinner, I appreciate the effort. Next time you cook, can you make some of these things in the future, they are some of my favorite meals?”
My wife works a 7 days on 7 days off hospital shift. On her workdays, I stay up late and have a hot dinner ready for her. After 3 years, I have had 0 complaints. We talk to each other about things we like and our preferences, so I try to cook things I know she will like anyway. I used to make things like felafel from scratch, tons of homemade veggie soups from scratch, like split pea, butternut squash bisque, garden veggie, until I learned she didn’t like those things and just focused my efforts on things she likes.
In a healthy relationship, adults talk to each other about their wants and needs, instead of bitching on the internet.
That right there looks like an amazing meal.
Idk what she’s complaining about, he even added a garnish of pepper on the mac for her.
This dude is a regular goddamn Bobby flay.
The only question I would have is if that a real cheese sauce or the shit you get from a tin.
Both give me major sinus headaches. Darn dairy protein histamine reaction!
Your bloodline is weak!
Mac & cheese have been ruined for me by that instinct that makes you disgusted by the last thing you ate before getting a stomach bug. Cmon body it’s not a novel type of berry it won’t be poisonous this time
Had the same thing with coconut. Used to like it, until I paired it with the flu. Now I can’t have anything that I can’t have anything that tastes like it or I get queasy. That happened when I was a child and it has carried into being an adult.
Interestingly enough if you had a strong enough preference for something it kind of overrides that instinct. I did the same thing with lasagna and I still eat that shit up like Garfield.
Same thing happened to me and celery. One fucking bite and as soon as it plopped into my stomach crippling pain and out of school for the week with flu.
MINUTES BEFORE the christmas cheesecske dinner, too.
I am of the persuasion that stomach bugs do not exist.
Food poisoning is more common than one would think, but also takes a bit longer than one would think.
I am of the persuasion that rabies doesn’t exist.
I’ve never gotten it, so therefore it must be a myth.

I do remember hearing that that food poisoning is the fault of something you ate much earlier that week. But also, food seems to stay 1-4 days in my body after eating it. So if that were the case the puke impulse wouldn’t clear out the thing that caused the illness, it would be in the intestines or out of the body already. If puking evolved it must be for a reason
Depends on the food iirc. I had bad sushi that had me puking within maybe six hours. God that was a nightmare, and I hate that I’m hesitant to try my favorite food again. At the same time I’m grateful that it didn’t seem to get digested enough to go through both ends
It’s the little baddies that ride the food in and multiply that’s bad. When they hit critical mass, the body expels them.
It desperatey needs some boiled broccoli, but honestly, not bad.
blanched or roasted.
Nobody needs boiled mushy vegetables. Nobody.I don’t like any crisp left in my vegetables. BRING ON THE MUSH! Either way it should be steamed with a little butter and Johnny’s.
Vegetables cooked in boiling water have a slightly adjustable cooking time window depending on the level of firmness you prefer, but they are never supposed to be “mushy”
Boiled = (to me) cooked like a noodle.
Blanching should be what you are referring to.
How about steamed?
We can discuss that.
Steamed are OK, but broiled with light charring/caramelization is the sweet spot.
I think the boiled part was a joke to add to the otherwise pedestrian meal. And no hate on macheesyfingers, it’s just not some culinary extravagance.
Fair.
I do.
Be my guest. But not in my kitchen :p I will blanch or roast (broil?) it.
Shit, my wife demands this sometimes. This lady is nuts.
It might mean you’re pregnant.
Well, typically it means we’re going to find out she’s not pregnant the next day.
No shortage of people climbing over each other for the classic “hahaha this is so right men are the worst” casual misandrist crap, either.
