#12Nature's fast food (aka fruit)
i like the no-wash needed like banana, oranges - easy clean up too
considered as vegan food too :D
for cooking: rice, water, meat, garlic put together in a small rice cooker use the rice cooker's bowl - no need to transfer food to plates clean everything in one swoop
oh yeah, you can put raw egg+shell too and peel later ;)

#13The options are endless... My wife and I both work, I do 99% of the cooking, often late at night with a less-than-stocked selection of ingredients. A couple of ideas... soak a cedar plank for 3 minutes. Heat on grill on one side for 2 minutes, flip over and pour a good amount of rum on the now warmed side, salmon fillet on top of that, more rum on the salmon, season to taste. Cook for another 5-6 minutes. Grill some…
I'm sure it's a good recipe, but I couldn't stop laughing after "soak a cedar plank."

#141) Write code.
2) Forget to eat.
3) Drink lots of water.
4) take an hour to eat someplace and think about what you're going to do next.
Repeat every 24 hours....

#17Ev's Improv: Heat olive oil, throw in a can of white beans, a small can of green chiles, half a can of chopped tomatoes (minus the liquid), a vegetable bouillon cube, curry powder, and black pepper. (So named because I had to whip this up for Evan Williams when he spoke at YC and we discovered at the last minute he was a vegan. It was better than the official vegetarian dish I'd spent all afternoon cooking. http://ww…
Taking a look at that link (and then going to the YC main page again) made me realize how cool that lecture hall you guys have is.
Any chance there are some photos around of the "YC Offices" just for the curious?

#18Eggs, chicken breakfast sausage in 2" pieces, some salt, some cheese, frozen stir fry vegetables (everything organic). Pre-heat a pan, mix everything (break the yolks), pour it in the pan and start mixing with a plastic spatula. Takes about 5 minutes, comes down to $2 for a hearty portion and has all basic food types, sans dairy.

#19I tend not to make meals that quickly, as for me, cooking is one of the things I do to relax and think. :)
And I usually end up spending near to an hour in the kitchen, most nights :D

#20Out-of-the-can salad: chickpeas, black beans, maize, lettuce, cottage cheese, sunflower seeds and a diced avocado. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil and eat with bread
