I’m bad at meal planning in general but add some sliced deli meat? Different sandwich. Egg? French toast with your bacon. Mayo? Get you a spoon and eat it

now I’m all amped up and I want to go to the store to buy a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, two slices of bread, two pieces of bacon and a pocketful of mayo

If I can’t do that then why are there even stores
― epistantophus, Wednesday, 20 March 2024 00:28 (one month ago) link
just bring all the stuff to the cashier and ask them to make you a sandwich
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 March 2024 00:30 (one month ago) link
the thing is, a full tomato is just a vessel to keep those couple perfect slices fresh. the rest can be compost
― ɥɯ ︵ (°□°) (mh), Wednesday, 20 March 2024 00:32 (one month ago) link
i usually just eat the rest of the tomato on the side as a lil salad if you will
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 March 2024 00:33 (one month ago) link
That’s true, ime the rest gets diced up and thrown into whatever I’m cooking. Gotta get to that next fresh tomato!

It seems obvious that this person's food preparation skills top out at "I can make a sandwich" and they only use this skill at rare intervals because almost all their meals are either cold cereal, take-out, or microwaved. Why they'd trumpet this to the world eludes me.

leftovers are good, if you had nice food and theres some left youre all im gonna heat that stuff up and eat it hell yeah

or even if the food doesnt excite you its there and you can just eat it if youre hungry

this guy should just make his own bread then he could make very small loaves, problem solved
― Humanitarian Pause (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 20 March 2024 00:53 (one month ago) link
He makes a good point that it's hard to shop and cook for one person. There are a lot of things that you couldn't make for just yourself without major effort and waste. I've been trying to balance shopping and cooking for myself for years.
If you want to try new interesting recipes it requires forethought as to what can be saved and a willingness to throw stuff out

I dunno Ive been one person many times in my adult life and I never had an issue buying groceries and using what was left for other meals. This guy reeks of "young male who was never shown how proper home economics works" which ISTG seems to be 80% of the fucking men Ive ever known for some reason.
No one actively SHOWED ME how to use the rest of a tomato, head of lettuce or loaf of bread. Why is common sense so lacking in some people. GAAAHHHH.

I'm all about the leftovers. Though I do take it too far and often have a fridge full of 2-week-old tiny tupperwares full of a 1/4 can of corn, some shredded chicken, and 4 olives lol.

and anyway i’d like to know more about this “proportionally sized” sandwich “kit” - does it look anything like… a sandwich?
― epistantophus, Wednesday, 20 March 2024 01:39 (one month ago) link

I left my Kraft Mayo out accidentally but hope that it is full of enough preservatives that I won't die when I eat it again.
Part of the problem for me is that I have frequent visitors who all have their own food needs. I end up with a refrigerator full of stuff that I wouldn't buy for myself.
I love leftovers, but making a typical recipe of a meal for six is burdensome. I don't want to eat the same thing for five more days, I just don't. And reducing the quantities in the recipe to one just makes it a slog
I make my own sourdough bread. It requires a dutch oven (like a Le Creuset). It is fantastic, as good as Tartine's. I slice it up, eat some, and put the remainder into the freezer for later. I can give you all the recipe if you want, but it is long.
Along with the bread I freeze bolognese sauce, rice, homemade chicken broth, soups etc. But there are a lot of recipes that require fresh ingredients that have to be bought in quantity and cannot be saved
― Dan S, Wednesday, 20 March 2024 01:43 (one month ago) link
In this guy's tiny mind it stands to reason that his imaginary "sandwich kit" would be significantly cheaper than buying a sandwich some other way, because he would be supplying all the labor of assembling the sandwich! ofc, this notion only reflects his profound ignorance, but he's too ignorant to know how ignorant he is.

dan s i think what a lot of people are reacting to is the idea that you have to keep eating the same dish for 5 days. you can make other things with the same ingredients. if you can’t think of anything else to do you could just make like a “salad”, an “omelette” a “soup” .. humanity has faced this issue before

they've cracked the code
really timely that this popped up right after my meal discussion with coworkers yesterday afternoon. there was much talk of freezing soups, stock, and sauces and how owning a chest freezer is great if you have the space
the coworker whose wife doesn't eat leftovers apparently has insisted that they'd end up with more freezer burned items, as they keep having that issue in their fridge, is WRONG imo. you get freezer burn by regularly opening and closing the freezer and having things that are open but not well-sealed. stuff in a chest freezer is much less likely to have that issue imo

a chest freezer is an incredibly family friendly food extension device. ours deserves a memorial stone when finally it kicks, but at 21 y/o it hums along.

bought a chest freezer like the one in the video, 90% of which are newly identical, in the first year of the pandemic and just restocked it with essentials and junk (cart full of Trader Joe’s frozen bags and boxes) every so often and it’s not near needing defrosting 3.5 years later
my Costco purchase of many tuna steaks was unnecessary but seems freezer-stable
