cooking along can be kind of sucky, but if you have the right music on and the right drink you can feel like clive owen or some shit

well... maybe not every night... but many nights!
cooking alone is a p miserable process.
Cooking alone is, tbf, pretty rubbish.
cooking by yourself for yourself can be fun, but it is distinctly less fun than the other options.
SO IT TURNS OUT YOU ALL AGREE WITH ME AFTER ALL

yes, when the missus isn't home I usually just make a BLT or something, which is not really cooking (total cost = $4. in case you were wondering)
― frogbs, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 16:15 (twelve years ago) link
i mean...that is why i don't cook! because it's not remotely fun!

I cook at least four times a week for and by myself!

I mean, all you have to do is slice some cheese and put it on a cracker, there's no actual cooking involved
― thuggish ruggish Brahms (DJP), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 16:21 (twelve years ago) link
structurally unsound crackers are the bane of my life
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 16:22 (twelve years ago) link
you should make your own crackers!

Yeah I don't get it frogbs are you charging the entire cost of each ingredient to each meal? Cuz that's some fucked up accounting.
― the prurient pinterest (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 16:22 (twelve years ago) link
trying to cut a piece of cheese can be hard. you end up with slices that are way too thin and some that are very thick. and some that are thick at the top, but are only half size. in the end, not a single piece will be satisfying.

haha okay that is not "messing up cheese and crackers", that is "an unavoidable side-effect of constantly eating cheese and crackers"

with the boiled egg incident, the egg actually boiled fine, but when i was trying to peel it, it wouldn't peel, and i somehow ripped the egg in half and the whole thing fell in the bin
it was my last egg :(

I have been playing piano for 25 years now. In my experience, it costs less for me to hear someone else play it, and they'll probably play it better. But it's more satisfying to do it at home where, hopefully, no one is listening.

It's some kind of communist connection to the fruits of your labour, I suspect, lex. Seriously, if you're ever near Exeter, let me know, come round, I'll cook.

I'm pretty sure that objectively my not-great tofu and whatever meals aren't any better than going to the mediocre Chinese place two minutes away. But I feel a lot better about them. Communism.
Covent Garden soups I always end up eating at work a whole lot and are kind of the epitome of 'I wish I had something better to eat but I'm not, I'm eating this'

It's a pragmatic canned cheese stance.
