#like a bowl of avocado

[cextra-loz]

My mom doesn't understand the the concept that if she doesn't allow me to eat from the family breakfast that means I have to cook my own meal earlier. My mom doesn't understand the the concept if she wants me to be more independent it means I get to choose what meals I can prepare at what time, not on her time and not what she wants me to eat, she's flabbergasted

[icewindandboringhorror]

What would you choose? :0c

(note: original image is from HERE (link) - but I edited it to add a wider variety of options.. also added $3 extra to the total, even though I know that makes it more uneven lol, I thought if you're adding 10 whole extra items, the money to spend should at least be increased slightly, if that makes sense..)

i have this "alter ego" that only exists in my head where essentially i am a fat sloppy drunk old fisherman with no loved ones living in misery & isolation & i often imagine myself as him especially in moments of patheticness

Bakugo gets mad at you for eating weird or crappy snacks, not bc he thinks it’s bad, but bc he’s bothered you didn’t ask him to make you something nicer

Hey y’all! I have another kind of weird question for you. I’m weirdly feeling kind of homesick for like fast food chains from the west coast that aren’t on the east coast, and I’m especially missing being able to get decent like meat-and-rice bowls from a variety of places East coast/southern US people, do you have any recommendations for good chain restaurants* that are not available in California? (for people who weren’t here for my “oh no I’m moving how do I handle cold” posts, I moved from California to Tennessee last year) It does not have to be places with rice bowls, that’s just the main thing I’m missing. Well, that and good burritos?  *I do eat at small local places when I can, but I have uncommon allergies and it’s frequently easier for me to get an accurate ingredients list from a chain restaurant because they have a customer service division. Also it’s hard to get recommendations for local places without specifying exactly where I am lol

Just tried to put my wine bottle into my dish washer instead of the fridge and this was not a drunk action it was purely a sober yet absent-minded action

Highly Likely, 5526 N Figueroa St, Los Angeles (Highland Park), CA 90042

This stylish, all day casual restaurant is Highland Park’s new camping spot/meeting spot (and yes, lots of campers have already found it). You can order breakfast, lunch, and dinner there with coffee, tea, cocktails, and more. The breakfast menu has breakfast sandwiches, chilaquiles, French toast, and toasts. The lunch menu has grain bowls, sandwiches, falafel, salads, etc. The pastries are from Friends & Family (love Friends & Family).

The interior has a large counter where you place your order and they make the espresso drinks. You can also sit at the counter. The cocktail bar is in the outdoor patio area. Once you place your order, they’ll give you a number and bring your food and drinks to you.

Curried black rice bowl ($16): They were out of black rice, so they subbed brown rice. Brown rice, sesame seeds, green curry dressing, roast butternut, roast maitake mushrooms, Persian cucumbers, pickled onion, arugula, pink pickled egg. This was a good amount of food and it was fresh and interesting (lots of flavors and textures). However, I was surprised that the rice wasn’t warm and the butternut squash was served cold. Only the maitake mushrooms were warm. The curry dressing was decent but I didn’t love it (not enough curry flavor).

Cappuccino: They worked with Common Room Roasters to come up with the house coffee, which is a medium roast. The cappuccino was good though it had a bitter finish.

The place is bright and hip with light wood walls, concrete floors, white ceilings, a skylight, and hints of a dark orange/warm brown. The interior has a large counter where you place your order and they make the espresso drinks. You can also sit at the counter. The cocktail bar is in the outdoor patio area. The outdoor patio has heat lamps, plants, and plenty of seating.

The wi-fi is free and no password is required (so it’s not secure). The music was mellow.

repostober day 21: ok, so disclaimer- I am not a potter by any means. nearly every piece I tried to make from grade school all the way through high school ended up meeting a terrible fate, so I was kind of put off from working with ceramics. but then I had to work with ceramics for a class and my piece actually survived! it's a little lumpy for sure, but it didn't explode in the kiln or collapse before it could even be fired so I'm pretty proud of that success. I really enjoyed the process of making this- especially applying the glaze. my idea for this was a chip and dip bowl inspired by a sombrero- the pattern is meant to mimic the woven texture.

meal ideas!

low energy ("do not ask me to do any prep work at all, so help me god")

mozzerella cheese wrapped in pepperoni ("pizza tacos"!)

hummus and pretzels or naan (putting the naan in the microwave for like 10 seconds...heavenly)

canned chili (with shredded cheese and sour cream if you have it! boom done!)

instant miso soup (warm and lovely! put tofu in it for protein!)

cheese and cured meat, olives, canned fish, crackers, dried fruit, or whatever easy "charcuterie" type items you like

alternate bites of apple and spoonfulls of peanut butter (mixing honey or chocolate chips to the peanut butter is my favorite)

a "deconstructed sandwich": bites of lunch meat, pickles, cheese, cherry tomato, etc (I love roast beef and white cheddar for this)

yogurt and granola or fruit

put frozen potstickers + frozen edamame in the steamer/rice cooker, chill elsewhere with a timer set, then boom

tortilla chips + canned refried beans + cherry tomatoes + cilantro + jarred salsa con queso (or warm shredded cheese on top of the chips in the microwave for 30 seconds)

bagel + cream cheese + lox

microwave scrambled eggs (add things like green onion, soy sauce, or anything else you like!)

cottage cheese and fruit (mixed together or just on the side)

bowl of shredded rotisserie chicken + buffalo sauce + a bit of mayo + green onion (use a kitchen scissors to cut them right in!)

medium energy ("I'll boil water but don't ask me to chop shit")

boiled eggs and fresh veggies (put a little salt on top of the eggs!)

buttered noodles (my go-to nausea meal, it has never failed me. ideas of things to add: frozen peas, imitation crab, roasted garlic)

baked potato with toppings (I like cheese, bacon, broccoli, green onion, and sour cream)

quesadilla (add some canned beans, cilantro, or avocado!)

pot roast (requires a lot of time but not a lot of actual work. I love it with peas!)

cuban sandwich (bread, swiss, pickle, mustard, ham... my favorite thing to panini-ify by far)

pan-fried tofu with scallion sauce (this sauce goes well with everything and tofu is no exception)

pancakes or waffles! (I love mine with jam)

ham, pickle, and cream cheese roll-ups

fried eggs (with toast and lots of butter...so comforting)

fruit smoothie (bananas, frozen strawberries, yogurt...or whatever!)

I hate salad but could write essays on this copycat olive garden salad (throw it in a bowl! chopping required if you use onion)

spaghetti (controversial maybe but angel hair > spaghetti noodles)

pasta salad (olives broccoli fresh mozerella... those little mini pepperonis... yeah)

stir-fried thai garlic shrimp (I like using the mini frozen salad shrimps, it's easy! use jarred minced garlic to avoid chopping!)

tuna mayo onigiri

slow cooker ribs

buffalo chicken wrap (or any number of other wrap options! shred pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to make it easier)

if your local grocery store sells pre-cooked gyro strips, that can turn into an easy wrap with store-bought pita & tzatziki with tomatoes and onions!

couscous and chickpeas

tortellini + pasta sauce + spinach

high energy ("I don't mind chopping some things up!")

stuffed shells with spinach

chicken and roasted garlic (oh my god.....one of my all time favorites)

beef tacos (I like mine with cilantro and onion, and when I'm feeling especially high energy I love a tomatillo salsa)

chicken alfredo

tom kha gai (a thai soup and my absolute favorite! you just need access to galangal)

lasagna! (freezes well and then boom! low energy meal for later)

pad thai! (not as hard as you'd think, as long as you have access to tamarind paste!)

potstickers! (this is a lovely group activity if you want to cook with housemates!)

rice and beans

bang bang shrimp (ogughfhgfuh I love it. you can also do bang bang tofu!)

minestrone soup (so many nice veggies!)

fried rice (put whatever you have on hand in there! broccoli, peas, carrot, and beef is my favorite combo)

broccoli cheddar soup

spring rolls and peanut sauce

skewers (such as beef, onion, zucchini, bell pepper... you don't need a grill, oven works!)

roasted turkey with garlic parmesean asparagus

pork chop with mashed potatoes

panang curry

chicken gnocchi soup (use store bought gnocchi or make your own if you have a high energy day!)

bibimbap (super customizable depending on what veggies you like best)

butter chicken

plus! things that have helped me meal plan:

whenever you think of a meal you'd like to make, take 3 seconds to google search it, take a screenshot of the image results, and put it in a "food ideas" folder. instant visual menu!

the concept of "meal prepping" makes me recoil but I've learned that it can simply mean preparing shredded chicken, boiled eggs, or some other simple protein that you can customize throughout the week. shredded chicken can turn into wraps, salads, pasta dishes, etc... you don't have to meal prep yourself into the same meal all week!

when I have difficulty working up an appetite, I'll scroll through my favorite restaurant menus! there might be some foods I can't make at home, but many times they're very simple to recreate because the ingredients are literally listed!
