Saying "meals under $5" that have a thousand ingredients that you only use a tiny bit of, to me, is like saying "if you have all of these in your house already it's free"
#like it's not free?#and it's DEFINITELY NOT UNDER 5 DOLLARS#i'll tell you my reasoning#these ppl who make these videos are always youtubers or influencers etc who have money and are trying to cater#+ to ppl who don't have money#but they have no fucking idea what not having money is like#yes i can buy a packet of pasta for $2 and make several dishes with it so yes it's cheaper in the long run#BUT if i only have $2 ... am i only gonna eat pasta? with nothing else?#i could go to mcdonalds with those $2 and get in the 1��� menu a cheesburger and a coke (in portugal)#(i am using the pricings in my reality but i hope it's understandable enough)#if say i only have $10 for my dinner tonight i could go buy groceries#but making this recipe would NOT cost me the 10 dollars#specially not with 10 dif sauces that are $9 each lmao#it's like 'oh you should buy more expensive boots bc they will last longer and are better quality' but#.... IF ONE PAIR COSTS 100€ AND I ONLY HAVE 30€ I CANNOT CHOOSE#i literally CANNOT choose between them because i don't have any more than 30€#getting back to the food thing i can get a full meal in a lot of restaurants in portugal for 10#10€ but i guarantee i cannot cook one dish with maybe a dessert under 10€#THESE ANNOY ME SO FUCKING MUCH I SWEAR

I am like. Aware. That a large reason of why I feel so absolutely awful. Is because I keep skipping meals. But I keep skipping meals. Because I feel too tired and awful to cook. So you can see the cycle I have created for myself. So y’know, oops! Whoopsie! Uh oh!
#tw: ed#just in case#but yeah babes I’m doing less than stellar at the ‘keeping the meat home alive’ thing#daydreaming about someone cooking me dinner#and bringing me lunch#or food prices for eating out not being so high like Jesus Christ I would love a meal for under $10#or no longer needing to eat it’s so exhausting honestly#brain thoughts

Thank you @beaniebaneenie your tags pass review!
i had to make a solution for this for myself, mostly because of depression, but it makes a nice How To for folks who are low on spoons or could use some help in the kitchen.
Fortunately i was a professional cook for over a decade. UNfortunately the first post i made explaining it was suuuuper long. Let's see if i can do better
So you select any protein that you can cook in a frying pan -- chicken breasts, ground beef, pork chops, sausages, steak, chicken thighs, whatever. You also select one or two types of veggie (mushrooms or tubers also work, i just did this with potatoes and carrots for dinner tonight).
[i like cooking for vegetarians, but this is how i cook for myself when i'm low on spoons - perhaps i'll do another post for meatless meals]
You'll also need some kind of oil, and a sauce or two of your choice in a bottle. All cooking gear is a large frying pan with lid (i prefer non-stick) a spatula, a cutting board, and a knife.
You cut the veggies into bite size pieces, cut up enough for two meals. One kind of veggie is fine, or you can do mix two or three
Put frying pan on medium heat with a little oil. Tubers or mushrooms or go in the pan a few minutes before the protein. 2 portions of the protein goes in the pan, about 5 minutes with lid (don't worry you can still get a good sear on both sides)
Now flip your protein if it's flip-able and add normal veggies, put the lid back on another five-ish minutes.
Take your protein out and put it with one portion of the veggies in a microwave safe container. That's going to be your lunch tomorrow. Put the other portion of protein on a plate to rest (you have to let a cooked protein sit a couple minutes before you serve it or when you cut into it all the juices run out and it goes dry - the liquids thicken as it cools, preventing this drying out if you let it rest, the goal is to serve it very warm but not hot hot)
While it's resting, pour some sauce from your bottle in the pan with the rest of the veggies and turn up the heat. A single sauce/bottle is fine, i like to get fancy and mix a couple. Two examples of personal favorite mixes are 1: bbq sauce and a hot sauce like sriracha 2: roughly equal parts low sodium soy sauce and worcestershire (makes something similar to a teriyaki sauce) A swallow of wine is almost always a great option if you want to add that to your sauce too, just add it to the pan before the other sauces so the alcohol has time to burn off.
...
Here is the important bit. While your veggies are finishing, wash your cutting board and chef knife. Then when you dump your veggies and sauce over your protein on the plate, while it is still too hot to eat, you wash your frying pan and spatula before you eat. Now the only dishes you have left to do are your plate and fork. Maybe a steak knife.
...
The whole thing takes about 35 minutes even with washing the dishes, and that includes your lunch for the next day- just pour a different sauce on and stick it in the microwave for a couple minutes (or five minutes back in the frying pan) and you have a full healthy lunch with a different flavor
You can use this technique every single meal and it yields hundreds of combinations, from pork and potatoes bbq, to salmon and broccoli teriyaki, to chicken and zucchini in a soy glaze.
It will keep you down to less than an hour of kitchen time per day total for both lunch and dinner including all dish clean up, uses the least dishes, the least effort, requires the least technique, and is, depending on what you pick out, very affordable
here are a couple more examples from this month; i didn’t take pictures of the salmon i did recently, but you get the idea
it's not super fancy, but it is easy, affordable, quick, and any flavors you want. Hope this helps some folks
Happy Cooking!
#this is a good post with good information but being real fucking honest? 35 minutes to make food is not a Low Spoon activity#when i do have the spoons to cook i try to make at least 2 meals at once#but i also always have paper plates in the house (paper bowls too) because on actual low spoon days i cannot wash dishes#there are many days i have energy to EITHER cook OR eat#if i cook then i do not have energy or executive function to eat#if i eat then i don't have the energy to cook or clean#low spoon cooking methods need to be 10 minutes or less#and a lot fewer steps#i got tired just reading this post and thinking about all the steps involved#low spoon meals need to be 3 steps or less and under 10 minutes#disabilities#disability meals#actually disabled#spoonie meals#spoonie

❛ IN YO PU$$Y TONGUE TWISTIN' LIKE ITS STIR FRY!❜
✰summary: don't ask toji to make you dinner if you aren't ready to be dinner ✰tw: nasty, filthy, insane pussy eating like its groceries. literal groceries cause there's lots of food/cooking sex references lmfao. ✰wc: <1k [no taglist under 1k]
Toji who you sass, telling him to be useful for once and "make you dinner." Unfortunately for you, Toji takes it quite literally as he makes you HIS dinner.
Without any warning you are manhandled down to the couch. Your brand new pink frilly panties utterly trashed, ripped off of you and discarded like a flimsy plastic wrap. Toji kneads open your doughy thighs, ordering you to hold your knees so that you are spread wide for him.
Succumbing to his more debased urges, your coochie would be his 'kitchen' for the next 2 hours. It was obvious from the perverse way his lips smacked together, sucking his teeth at the sight of your succulent cunt—he couldn't wait to serve you up on a platter.
Digging in, Toji wastes no time with prep work.
Unabashedly feasting in your savory folds as if he were a gourmet who had just been presented with a 10-course 3-star michelin meal. Toji's filthy mouth proves to be such a needy glutton for your pretty pussy—slurping, suckling and nibbling at your sensitive lil’ clit until you’re sobbing. You clench and twitch around his tongue which seems to be on a mission to completely sear your insides, reducing your to legs to gelatinous goo.
All the heat Toji boils in your core spreads to your entire body and your hands grow slippery with sweat. You shake as you struggle to maintain hold of your knees. Yet the scalding look Toji gives you makes you think twice before you let go of them—lest chef Toji say the dish is ruined and he needs to start all over again.
“Chef knows best” Toji tells you, along with his specialty cuisine style of "making it nasty", so of course he must braise your swollen throbbing clit in globs of his spit. His tongue bastes over your sopping folds as he scoops the marinated mixture—crafted of his saliva and the syrupy juices of your ripened cunt—back into your steamy quivering hole.
At the very least you were grateful that despite the embarrassment flaming on your tear-stained cheeks, the amount of carnal pleasure coursing through your body sent your mind into euphoric delirium. Your eyes spared you from the sight of Toji's shameless display of ravenous hunger by becoming lodged into the back of your skull.
Nevertheless, you didn’t need to see to tell that Toji is a messy cook. Some of your rich milky sauce is sure to dribble down to the crack of your ass as his lecherous ministrations cause you to overflow. Not to worry though—when it comes to relishing your perfect pussy, Toji ultimately keeps a tidy kitchen and he is certainly not wasteful.
Toji will dutifully clean up any mess, unlike your actual kitchen where he never washes a dish. Likewise, although when you try to get him to eat healthier and he refuses his greens—Toji will never hesitate to toss your salad. Stirring his tongue deep into your puckered hole he savors the taste while three of his thick fingers bully into your tight lil’ pussy, blending you up until you pureed all over his fingers.
The intensity of your lustful moans rival that of the vulgar sounds sloshing from your core and echoing throughout the living room. Both sounds Toji finds himself developing an insatiable hunger for and it spurs on his near relentless teasing of you.
Duplicitous in his positively feral pussy drunk state, he reasons with you that "a chef never reveals his secrets".
Therefore you are never certain upon reaching the peak of your next mind-mincing orgasm if he will serve you utterly delectable release—the sweet nectar of your squirt garnishing his lips resulting in Toji to nearly busting in his own pants from rutting against the sofa—
—or if he will cruelly snatch it away from you again as you teeter right on the edge of rapture. When he does this there is certainly a twinkle in his eyes as he mocks you, "but you weren't quite done simmering just yet, mamas."
Absolutely overdone and oversensitive, if the torture of him stewing your insides becomes too much—If you really whine and tell him you've had enough—to his credit Toji would stop. Stop and hover mere centimeters away from your leaky lil’ peach that is.
You would whimper, so sore from the abuse of his tongue as his own eyes would roll back at the sugary smell of your arousal wafting off your messed up lil cunny. Toji knows at this point you are too fucked out—too thoroughly made well-done on his tongue to escape from his gluttonous depravity.
Sloppy and glazed in your cum, the scar on Toji's lip glistens as it pulls into a devious smirk. Huffing out, Toji would softly breeze air over your puffy clit until your lil nub throbbed with enough need to beg for another course.
Toji would oblige you of course.
Nonetheless, as punishment for disturbing the chef while he’s cooking, you would have to wait a bit more before you felt his mouth on you again. Only blowing over your sex, your desperate pleas are only met with cruel chuckles chiding you that he needed to "let his food cool properly" before he could eat the next serving.
In the end, Toji's hard efforts in your kitchen are rewarded as he thoroughly consumes every last morsel you have to offer, cleaning up every lingering string of your arousal. With his wanton thirst for your creamy caramelized cunt finally quenched he brings himself up to admire your cute slutted out pout.
You gasp as Toji’s lips meet yours in a fiery kiss. His tongue is just chaotic, dominating your mouth as if he were still craving the taste of your core.
You're dizzy for air when Toji finally pulls away. Still coming down from your blissed out state you fail to notice Toji had switched your positions. You are now on the floor between his legs while he sits on the couch.
His beefy thighs manspread wide as his girthy length springs from his dark sweats. The angry red tip of his cockhead sways back to hit his abs thickly coated in what must be his own fluids from at some point cumming in his pants just from eating you out.
Reaching out to grab your chin his thumb rubs over your lips in a gentle caress before bullying them open. You were going to roast his cock in that warm n’ tight throaty lil oven of yours.
It was your turn to make him dinner.

The last time I held a check in my hands was in the 90s when my mum let me hand it to the cashier to pay for our groceries, until the next time I held one in my hands - a few months ago when an American customer mailed me a check to pay for an order even though we’d sent them a digital invoice with our bank details on. I dropped the check off with accounts receivable for them to deal with because fuck that, just pay the invoice the way we instructed you to???
Checks have not been widely used in Denmark for decades and some ten years ago the National bank shut down checks entirely. You can’t pay with checks there anymore, banks don’t issue check books in the first place, and nowhere can accept them for payment. The only exception to this is international checks specifically because the United States is behind the times and still use them, and some companies obv trade with American companies.
I now live in the UK and I don’t get the impression checks are common here; there was only one person on the finance team who knew how to handle the American check I’d dropped off with them.
We ask your questions so you don’t have to! Submit your questions to have them posted anonymously as polls.
#when my mum stopped using checks she gave me her check book to play with#I drew on all the checks with crayon and had a great time tearing them out#I can only assume the check book was somehow rendered invalid and nobody could’ve used it not even my mum#so I voted never had one even though I did possess my mum’s check book as a plaything for a while#under 60 is being very uh#I mean I’m 36 and in my adult life checks haven’t been a thing#but somebody 10 or 15 years older than me may well have had one#America your banking system sucks#my American friends were flabbergasted when they came to Scotland and found out bank transfers were a thing#like yes I can access my bank account online (or via my bank’s app) and transfer you my share of the meal in the pub.#what do you mean you CAN’T?

If blind rage ever tells you to hammer your heel on the floor as hard as you can, that is the Devil speaking
#0/10 many regerts#accidental self harm tw#Is that a thing#ahaha#I also punched a door and destroyed the cardboard box my garage sale stuff was in and made a mess so… that’s lovely#But 10/10 destroying the plastic container of a microwave meal was excellent; would recommend#Not me realizing I have temper tantrums like about half of the students I’ve worked with so far#Not under the same circumstances… but definitely with the same physical content thereof#I don’t get angry easily; but when I do I want to hit things and make loud noises#Provided I am completely alone#which I am#But now I either have to walk on my toes or limp so uh… not great#For the record I’m not violent to living things… just objects that aren’t super valuable#and myself apparently
