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 28 points 2 months 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 42 points 2 months 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 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 32 points 2 months ago

climate change AND microplastics in their food

[–] wunami@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (5 children)

You do the cooking with single use plastic too?

The term is meal prep

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 25 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] LadyButterfly@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I live alone and I think this is a great idea

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months 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?

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

just cook bigger portions, i usually make enough food to last half a week

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I’ve been eating the same two-pound portion of taco meat for the past four days. Usually in soft-shell tacos, but sometimes in frittatas. The trick is to be dead inside.

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 2 months ago

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

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 6 points 2 months 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

[–] nednobbins@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago (3 children)

2 hours of cooking for a 10 minute meal sounds like a skill issue.

Turns beef into beef flavored chicken, I love it.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 13 points 2 months 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.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

do you people just cook for a single meal wtf

Make less elaborate meals or learn to chop faster.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Listen to podcasts, or watch something during cooking dude.

This is why i dont eat. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Jk kind of lol

[–] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

We recently got an airfryer. it helps cut down prep time and ease of cleaning to the point I don't get upset about it anymore. Would highly recommend if you haven't got one already

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (6 children)

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

2 hrs?

Do you spend 6 hrs a day cooking and do not do any clean as you go?

Wtf are you preparing? Are you stuffing a turkey each meal?

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 2 months 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

I've seen people complain that loading and emptying the dishwasher takes an hour.
