I don't know what curly fries are but I want them just for the name.



I bow down to your awesomness! I also really hope someone in the family bought Vegan Diner off my list for my birthday.

I love to cook for myself (in fact I prefer to cook for myself because then I don't have to give a shiitake about someone else enjoying it) but I do most of the prep at weekends and make meals I can easily freeze or just half the recipe and eat leftovers for lunch.

Recently I have been exhausted/lazy and have also been living off beans on toast with Linda McCartney sausages chopped up into it. Or I am just baking cookies and cupcakes and calling them dinner.

My quick meals are usually pasta with peanut butter sauce (4 ingredients - peanut butter, soy sauce, tomato paste and vinegar), baked beans on toast or soup/something else from a packet. Tonight it was oven chips - I need to start making more meals to freeze for when I can't be bothered cooking!

This is exactly how I feel. I always feel like I have to prove something when I cook for someone else.

This thread makes me hungry.

This thread inspires me.

Last night I had brown basmati rice, sauteed kale, and broiled tofu, all topped with the miso-sesame sauce from The Vegan Table, plus a little sriracha. It's one of my favorite basic meals, I think, and easy if you prep the kale (wash, spin dry, etc) at the beginning of the week.

Biscoff spread and strawberry jam sandwiches.

biscoff on a spoon!

I forgot about biscoff spread! I have both that AND spoons.

Let the record show that right after typing that I went into the kitchen and got a beer and a spoonful of biscoff spread.

Hummus with crackers and a giant glass of orange juice.
Grapes for dessert.

I am considering throwing a bunch of shiitake in the crock pot and calling it "clean out the fridge soup". I have a thing of bok choy I randomly bought for no reason other than it was on sale...can you put that in soup?

Exactly. Cooking for someone else is stressfull business and not at all enjoyable and I spend the whole meal apologizing and worrying if they like it.

i am embracing the world of frozen meals. frozen ratatouille, frozen falafels, frozen veggies burgers.. it's so easy. and way healthier than living off bread.

I was going to make a big pot of soup with lots of veggies. Step one: chop up an onion, 5 cloves of garlic, and a bunch of mushrooms. Step two: saute in olive oil.

I never made it past step two. The mushrooms smelled so good I just tossed 'em over some spaghetti, added a few spoonfuls of nooch and a dash of Braggs, and ate them just like that. Sorry, soup. Next time.

I ate a dinner roll. Dipped into a jar of PB.

I normally end up with either a bowl of cereal or peanut butter and banana on toast during the week. On the weekend, I take the time to cook for myself and use leftovers for lunch.

hummus and grape tomatos.

I do this in the microwave in a steamer pot. I've never thought to do it in the oven!!! I usually add broccoli and carrots because I add them to everything. (Also I do not know how to eat with chopsticks!)

You definitely made the right choice. I mean, soup is okay and all, but your pasta sounds 589724098x better.

Soba noodles and cabbage

-Stick soba noodles in boiling water
-Peel apart cabbage
-Freak the fork out when you find a wee beastie in the cabbage and almost throw it across the room
-Wish you had someone to help you take the wee beastie outside because it is SCARY BUSINESS
-Steam cabbage over noodles then chop up into bits and mix together with chilli, sesame oil, soy sauce and other random stuff picked willy-nilly off the shelves
-Realise you put too much chilli in it. Oh well.
-Eat and save some for lunch the next day
-Get upset the next day that all you have for lunch is congealed noodles with soggy cabbage and too much chilli.

Peanut rice: bowlful of brown basmati rice (from the rice cooker), handful of peanuts, doused in House of Tsang peanut sauce (better than any peanut sauce I can make myself...and I make a pretty good peanut sauce!). Microwave. Eat. YUM.

Tonight, Joni's tuna melt.

The rest of forever: I made a buttload of the cashew/sauerkraut mac and cheese recipe from this site. A metric buttload

Um, popcorn. And chips and salsa. And raspberries.
