Food routine

ClownworldXXX · 2020-03-27T21:41:08+00:00

I started buying weekly discounted food in bulk from several supermarket, especially stuff that you can store for long term and that you will definitely use in due time. You spend more money now for future savings. This also goes for non food like cleaning and hygiene related items.

Also I bought seeds today and will learn how to grow my own food. These are uncertain times and I rather stay active and prepare for bad times. Food will become more expensive I think the coming months.

I don't eat out anymore and I used to do it quite often especially at work. This quarantine shit makes me think more about being less reliant from the supply chain and taking daily action to prepare for whatever is coming. So far I have been 1 step ahead of this shit each time with the exception of a few items I consider necessary for survival.

I mainly cook chicken and rice with various veggies and sauces and refrigerate the leftovers.

Sometimes, I steam apples with cinnamon and throw pre-cooked fried summer sausage in there.

Sometimes, I'm in a hurry and will throw noodles or burritos in a microwave.

I'm on a carnivore diet with a little coconut cream thrown in. I can't remember the last time I ate out. Maybe sometime in January. Easiest diet ever. Only meal prep required is remembering to defrost your meat. I do 90% of cooking on a cast iron flat 10 inch skillet, $15 off Amazon or William Sonoma website. I eat a lot of local beef and some bacon (save the bacon grease to cook steaks). You can source beef off the web, I get mine from a local farm, but I recommend Frankie's free range meats, based out of New York state. I have my own chickens, but a dozen free range eggs from the local farmers market only costs like 1.98 in my area. My recipe for a banging stovetop ribeye:

Heat oil/grease in skillet at medium high. Preheat oven to 450 farenheit. Salt your ribeye. When the skillet is good and hot, sear the ribeye 3 minutes on each side. Then place in oven an additional 5 or 6 minutes for a medium rare steak.

I haven't been affected by the "coronavirus" shit -- including the "quarantine" -- in the least.

Why?* Well, in part because I eat (close to) 100% of meals at home... and yes that means I need to "cook."

Which is (I guarantee you) NOT as much of a "big deal" -- much less a "hassle" -- as most people think (probably mostly because they're doing it all "wrong").

Most meals (especially "for one" but adding another person doesn't/wouldn't change it much) are relatively quick & easy to "cook"... in point of fact, most meals are "single skillet" or other "single dish" things. (MWave does fast "thaw/defrost" when it's really needed... and the "cooking" is usually fairly simple & straight forward after that.)

Basically -- for about a decade and a half now -- I've been going "grocery shopping" about once a month (to once every 6 weeks); make a "big haul" (takes about an hour to shop the cart-full, and another hour to "unpack" and store away), and then cook whatever I want (steaks, chops, roasts, etc -- plus of course potatoes & vege, etc -- and various "specialty" things, we're talking everything from tikka marsala to gyros to pizzas to... well to plain old "steak & eggs" -- are actually a lot EASIER to make at home {takes LESS time to cook than it does to drive/order/wait} not to mention that the COST is about 1/10th that of "eating out").

I could go on and on here... but if you want some "tips" then I'd suggest you try a search here (right on /r/MGTOW) under the phrase "MGTOW Cooking"... posted a whole series of threads a while back (everything from oven roasted chicken, to grilled steak, to slow cooker meals, etc).

* In fact I find the reality that people like yourself are now being FORCED to experience -- having to stay at home & "cook" & etc -- to be really rather "humorous" ... given that I've been living this way (as if I were "quarantined" {I live out in the "boonies"}) for many years now.

For the past few years, because I've been without a burden (read woman)

is it the fancy kind or is it beans-on-toast kind of thing?

you just revealed that you're British or something close to it. what in the fuck is up with you people putting beans on toast? that's like putting spaghetti noodles inside a hoagie roll -- carbs on carbs!
