dad's casserole sloppa. rice chicken cheese, I did not eat.

I made the Poulet Gaston Gerard, was yummy. (I know, too much fucking breadcrumbs) With the extra sauce I poured it over pasta and had a nice side dish

Cube steak and a salad

Did your mom cut that meat for you?
Just put it on the salad.

>>16791760
nigger i don't know what the fuck that is, how am i supposed to know it has too many breadcrumbs

>>16792437
The salad has shrimp . I like Worcestershire sauce on my steak not on the salad .

I made some tuna noodle casserole last week and a batch of lazy ramen with some tofu in it.

unironically having chicken nuggers tonight

Salmon with veggies (before and after cooking). It was so good and I'm super happy with the colours!

it is utilitarian and makes me feel warm

Is that pulled pork? I love that stuff. Not hype on the boiled or steamed carrots though. Get some tortilla wraps in anon, can put them both together to make something that'll make you feel a bit better! Bonus points for that dried instant veggie rice stuff to put on the side/in the wrap.

it is pulled pork, boston butt to be specific. it's delicious.
also, the carrots are boiled, for what that's worth. i have learned to boil a mean carrot.
i sincerely appreciate the suggestions and would enjoy them, i'm sure, but i'm cutting out the "side" component of my meals lately - just meat and veg.

>i have learned to boil a mean carrot.
You made me smile but this is also a real thing. Over boiling makes things into mush, underboiling just gives you warm wet raw food. There's a bit of an art to getting that nice snap while still being cooked through. Many a mother/grandmother has served us all some boiled to hell vegetables but it's usually served alongside some other food that they focused on while that was in the background, so it's all good.

>>16792832
for sure.
my strategy is fairly simple
>fast boiling water
>no salt
>order the carrot pieces in groups from largest to smallest (usually about three groups; yes i realize this is autistic)
>add largest carrots first
>progressively add smaller carrots at appropriate intervals, typically giving the preceding group ~30 seconds to 1 minute extra depending on the size difference between groups
>in general, the largest carrots get ~5.5 minutes, the smallest get ~3.5 minutes
that's how i make carrots
i eat a lot of carrots

Honestly you sound like you'd do well in a busy kitchen. Keeping everything under control and organised while also making everything at the same quality so people have similar experiences and know what to expect is important. The other most important bit is speed though.
>i eat a lot of carrots
Be careful you don't turn orange!

>>16792848
i'd maybe enjoy it, but i have a good paying WFH job and i dont like people for the most part, so maybe i'll try in another life.
>Keeping everything under control and organised while also making everything at the same quality
does sound satisfying though. definitely a potential position for a type A autist like myself.
as for the turning orange thing, it is a genuine concern. sometimes i'll eat up to 5 lbs of carrots a week, and therefore i'll try to vary the carrot colors to reduce the likelihood of my turning orange.
wanna make out btw?

This looks very good, anon. I agree that you've got a great color on the salmon and the roots look very rustic and well cooked as well.

>>16792785
Extremely wholesome and based, godspeed simple meal eater.

>>16792864
>good paying WFH job
Keep it. Forever. Working from home is so much comfier and even cheaper because of no car/transport costs. My favourite bit is getting up a little later though.
Working in a kitchen can be satisfying, but it does also depend on where. If it's a canteen and you're cooking then serving people - complete shit. If it's a busy restaurant you'll have no time to do anything for yourself on working days and are exhausted constantly. If it's some chill little place then you get a nice no rush comfy thing going on but the money is probably crap. Keep your home job, cook as a hobby, enjoy life.
>wanna make out btw?
A-anon, please... We barely know each other...

>>16789923

>>16794433

>>16794433
>>16794435
get an induction cooktop and take it outside in the middle of the yard
let all that grease and smoke go into the grass and air

>>16789923
replace the bread and relish with boiled potatoes and a bit of sauerkraut and we're good

>>16794310
thanks for the bowl love, it's watery mostly due to the fact that I plan on it being in the fridge for a few days, and it will condense down some.
>>16794360
see above, also if you make chili without beans you deserve the death penalty, fag

Cheesy beef pasta I just made
