My solution is just to act like I'm cooking for 12 people, and have leftovers for the rest of the week.

[–] LadyButterfly@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yep I batch cook too, I make 4 portions then eat 2 and freeze 2. Eating over 2 days obvs

[–] GargleBlaster@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yup, I'm doing the same. Cooking 4 portions, then eating them all while crying

You forgot the 40+ hours of work a week just to afford the ingridients.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

You forgot breathing in and out 24/7 to stay alive to get to your soul-sucking job.

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.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 31 points 1 week ago

climate change AND microplastics in their food

[–] wunami@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (5 children)

You do the cooking with single use plastic too?

The one who cooks shouldn't be the one to clean unless, of course, you live alone.

[–] LadyButterfly@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I live alone and I think this is a great idea

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Hmm... Maybe after dinner, take a walk and ask random strangers to do your dishes. 😆

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Hire prostitutes and make them do your dishes. Tell them it’s your kink.

My demented father cannot even use the bathroom correctly. He will not help me.

What happened to all that Spaghetti-Ohs money?

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I wash as I cook. Usually you have moments when you're waiting anyway. Means I have serving dishes only afterwards.

Had to make it a habit though in order to force myself to do it. Took years to train the habit.

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 week ago

I’m trying to not do that, because I always forget that I’ll need the things I’ve just washed again.

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

This is what I do, so nice to have just a few dishes at the end

How old is this woman, and where does her hairline start? Is she in her 30s or 60s? Is her hair blonde or white?

[–] Khanzarate@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Old, near the top, but it still flows down. Dunno exact age. Blonde, but not everyone loses hair color.

Just spend 2 hours eating, easy

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 13 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago (5 children)

OK, tell me what in the world you are cooking that takes two hours. And putting something in the oven for an hour is not really any work, is it?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For real, folks need to watch more Jamie Oliver. Condense your pans and ingredient lists, make sauce for a few days, use parchment paper, etc

You underestimate how bad we can be at cooking. It takes me like an hour just to peal and chop up ingredients for even a simple dish like mashed potatoes or stir fry.

This is why i dont eat. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Jk kind of lol

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Clean as you go and there is very little left to be done after the meal.

[–] Chef_Boyardee@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Remember, you are dealing with people that never cook, and for some reason think they know what they're talking about.

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.

[–] totallyNotARedditor@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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

[–] GiantChickDicks@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

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.

sounds like the problem here is how your count your time

[–] dwindling7373@feddit.it 4 points 1 week ago

So true! I am trying to cook one pot or bake recipes, dump it all and forget about it. It is the only way not to go insane with 1000 pots and dishes to clean.

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

And after all that cooking turns out you have leftovers for like 1 extra meal at best

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Skill issue.

it's a skill. learning to live single after growing up in a family is a big change. i still remember paying a co-worker fifty bucks once to wash my dishes.
