@Zlacher88 @rublerubl3 @TheLaurenChen Not when you're having to pick up bottles and cans to afford food and have no way to cook anything outside of starting a fire in the yard, lol.
English
@Mike_Shimzy @rublerubl3 @TheLaurenChen When I was broke cooking was my only luxury. Even if you are broke, if you know how to cook, you can eat better than a rich person.
English
Relevant to the debate on dining out is how few young people know how to cook.
It's actually shocking.
And while we can laugh at Gen Z for this, we should also ask why their parents never taught them.
My eldest is my sous chef and has helped me in the kitchen since she was 2.
English
My brother specializes in Asian cuisine, one of my sisters does baked goods and deserts, and I do appetizers, mains, mixed drinks, classic American, and riffs on cost cutting meals. I recently perfected my rice, lentil and Rotel dish that I have when I want to be full and lazy.
All of it comes from the rest of my family being terrible cooks when I was growing up. I didn't start cooking for myself until 16, when I got tired of rotisserie chicken every meal. The sad part is I really didn't get into cooking until after I almost was entirely homeless.
English
@Mike_Shimzy @rublerubl3 @TheLaurenChen Get a rice cooker, making rice in a pot sucks.
My son was making braised short ribs with a red wine reduction by 12. It seems our families have very different relationships with cooking.
English
@Zlacher88 @rublerubl3 @TheLaurenChen You wanna bet, lmao? My first 3 times trying to boil rice when I had just started cooking, I had burnt the rice. Even my grandma, who's been cooking for I don't know how long, still somehow manages to burn all her grilled cheeses. The same can easily be done with eggs.
English
@rublerubl3 @Mike_Shimzy @TheLaurenChen The point is it's nearly impossible to fuck up any type of scrambled egg so bad you won't be able to eat it.
As with any type of cooking, you can make it better and more consistent with practice.
English
@RichardRob10319 @TheLaurenChen Sear pork, put in a crockpot with stuff, set to low and let it go for 8 hours, come back and shred it.
No need to ask if it's done and no need to worry about overcooking or undercooking.
English
@Mike_Shimzy @TheLaurenChen Simpler than an omelet? Are you joking? Here's a recipe: Do you have something? Yes? Flap some eggs around in it. Cool? Now put it in a pan for 3 minutes. Is it done? No? Flip it over for 3 minutes. Is it done? Yes. Enjoy.
English
In theory it's simple, In practice, you could fold it wrong, too runny, too overcooked, (if you put onions and peppers) the vegetables could be undercooked, etc. There is an art to making a good omelet.
The crockpot meals are as you said, boiling water skills. The pulled pork recipe I mentioned is the most satisfying one because it makes you feel like you did something impressive when you taste the result.
English
@Mike_Shimzy @TheLaurenChen There isn't anything much simpler than an omelet unless you consider boiling water skill based - that's basically all a crock pot meal is.
English
Pro tip: Ignore the "beans" thing the guy mentioned in the recipe and store the pulled pork in the fridge with the juice and add additional BBQ sauce before you reheat it. It will stop it from drying out in the fridge and it will retain moisture better this way when you reheat it.
English
@TheLaurenChen This is the recipe I use: simplyrecipes.com/recipes/slow_c…
English
@Steven_Swenson @TheLaurenChen I'm pretty confident that my Gen Z sister could make the pulled pork recipe I have and skip a bunch of steps I went through because it is very easy to not mess up and just as easy to fix if she does. It has pictures and measurements and takes minimal effort. 😄
English
I would argue that it's harder to mess up a burger than it is an omelet. Chicken had been a touchy one with me because it has to be cooked just right otherwise it's either dry or undercooked.
I went from scrambled eggs, to grilled cheese, to spaghetti, to steak-umm sandwiches, to burgers, to omelets, to steaks, to slow cooker meals, to chicken dishes and beyond.
English
@ShamashAran I never really considered the nugget meal a "meal." It's two sides and an overly priced drink.
English
Even if you must order fast food...
Eleven dollars.
PLUS you can get discounts in the app and get it down to below 8, if you skip the expensive fast food soda and drink your own (or just drink water)

Kevin O’Leary says Gen Z is financially cooked when people making $70K a year are spending $28 on lunch
English
@tellthatbroad @JesseJVinegar @RobProvince You realize the discussion about making your own lunch started with the price of fast food, right?
English
@JesseJVinegar @RobProvince Yeah those are “meat products” not whole cuts of meat like boars head and that’s why that tumorslop is cheap… it’s the odds and ends scrap formed into a loaf and cut so thin so you dumbasses won’t know the difference. The point is even store bought sandwich stuff is expensive rn
English
So far we have….
- Cheap food from home is literally poison
- You want us to starve (when suggested to take a sack lunch)
- It’s all we have and saving money on lunch won’t buy a house
- You’ve never struggled ( 😐)
- Soda is $3-$5

@manhattanmaker @RobProvince Eating nitrates and hexane everyday to put a down payment on a Toyota Tundra in 20 years is not really selling me on the idea that everything is fine.
English
@tellthatbroad @RobProvince Boar's Head is expensive, get store brand, it's cheaper and goes on sale more often.
English
@RobProvince **mAkE yOuR OwN sAnDwIChEs**
Meanwhile deli meat prices…
(and yes I know there are much cheaper *meat product* selections but those are classified as class 1 carcinogen)
English
It's bragging to say that people complaining about fast food prices are idiots for complaining about the cost when I'm eating a sandwich I made and brought to work? How is that bragging? Fast food is expensive and the franchises are greedy, so of course I'm going to bring my own food. What alternative is there? A working class individual has no power to make multimillion dollar companies drop their prices.
English
Americans are poverty bragging now. You guys were the soulless bugman all along.

@RobProvince I brown bag it 4 days a week. Anyone complaining about the cost of fast food can fuck off.
English
Then you would know that jelly grows mold if not refrigerated after being opened and after they scavenge for cans, bottles and loose change, they're more likely to buy either something pre-prepared if they found a lot and shelf-stable readily edible foods if they didn't. The worst case scenario is begging for food and dumpster diving.
English
@Chris8711 Yes. Actually interact with homeless people regularly.
English
The American Dream wasn’t to make $70k and eat like a homeless person.

Loaf of bread = $5 Peanut butter = $4 Jelly = $4 18 pack of chips = $12 Bag of apples = $5 Total = $30 And you'll have lunch for an entire week or two. $2-4 average per day. Inflation isn't the problem. Your spending habits are.
English
The replies and quotes to this have me mortified. I love a good PB&J. I'll skip the chips and apples tho. Pretzels and grape juice work just fine for me.

@mfurls @Uncatfishable Seedless raspberry jam and crunchy peanut butter on pillowy bread is my personal favorite. When I get paid tomorrow, I'm going to go get that after work and bring it to work on Friday. 😋
English
@Mike_Shimzy @Uncatfishable These people have not eaten a pb and j in a while and it shows. PB&Js are DELICIOUS
English
Do people realize that peanut butter and jelly and chips is what they give kids at school who can’t afford school lunch? That’s what they give prisoners in holding cells if you get to jail after food time. And you want working adults to eat that everyday willingly.

@MoonDunIt When I had no job, no money, no electricity, no gas for the stove and had to pick up bottles and cans to afford eating canned vegetables out of the can, I would have loved to be able to afford PB&Js and not worry about the jelly going bad. Your tweet is deeply troubling to me.
English
You also "eat like a homeless person" if you eat them for lunch apparently.
That part actually is offensive to me because I picked up cans and bottles to have money to eat canned vegetables out the can when I had no money, no job, no electricity, no gas for the stove and would've jumped for joy at a PB&J.
English
Twitter is trying to tell me that PB&J sandwiches are for children that can't afford school lunch and for prisoners. That if you defend bringing them to work, you're privileged and that you're convincing others to eat poorly.
It's cheap, easy to make and I enjoy a nice PB&J when I'm on my break at work because it's nostalgic escapism at a low cost. Why is that a bad thing?
