#92recipes to make when you've worked a 16-hour day Why not just sit down in a restaurant on your way home? Or if you worked at home, take a nice walk and sit down in a nice restaurant along the way?
Japanese people have ramen joints for quick and satisfying meals after a 16 hour day.

#93If it at least had some high quality photographs of the end result maybe it could push you towards saying "Ok, I'll eat". Because if you're really hungry, you're going to eat anyway, even if it's just an apple. But one does not need such a book for that.
I'm sorry, but stuff like this doesn't excite me.

Re: The Sad Bastard Cookbook
#95How many commenting / voting actually followed through and downloaded the content? The content itself is a mess (they admit to it) and sensible alternatives are an easy first pass. The link is worth looking at and the recipes aren't bad. But "so you don't die" is hyperbole and you can survive on less. I live in a food void and cooking is a passion. The link isn't bad, but it's approach is over the top.
Food is nutrients. Cooking is time spent making the nutrients edible. The more I can minimise that wasted time (both cooking and eating) the more time I have to spent on useful things.
Think of how exciting your laundry is to do. Now do it three times a day and listen to people who gush about how much they love it. That’s what it’s like. Sorry, it’s laundry; I hate it.
“So you don’t die” is basically my real thought process - 3pm rolls round and I’m thinking “I should probably eat something.. ugh”

#96Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not sure why this got such a negative reception, intermittent fasting has been shown to have multiple benefits. Its probably closer to what we spent generations evolving towards than the typical diet of shoving processed meats + Big Gulps in your face hole 19 hours a day.
Its probably closer to what we spent generations evolving towards than the typical diet of shoving processed meats + Big Gulps in your face hole 19 hours a day. That's kind of two extremes though, isn't it? You fast, or eat crap? And people get all upset about eating animal fat in quantities equal to protein, but that's what we did until the 70s. Then we stopped, and everyone ended up overweight. So I agree, traditio…

#97This should just be a list of stews, soups and porridges with various cereals and ingredients
Which is exactly why this book exists.

For meat we use anything from chopped-up Italian sausage, bacon strips, chick peas, chicken wings to an entire chicken.
Veggie wise anything from classic roasting veggies like carrot, oignon and pumpkin to broccoli, beans, zucchini…
Spice the laziest is just dried rosemary. But I also like some southern spicy bbq rubs, plain garam massala. Or just plenty of garlic.
It has become much easier since we have a “proper” oven instead of a cheap countertop one, as it is much faster and heats up more easily.

#99I wish I could just take one pill a day (or three) for nutrition (and satiating hunger) and not have to eat meals at all. That would be amazing, not to have to deal with food. Buying, preparing, ordering, over eating.
Just one thing from Sci-Fa... Still there has been meal replacement products for a long time now. From diets to lifestyle changes.
