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!)
- 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
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 for pizzaz!)
- buttered noodles (take it up to level 10 and add roasted garlic; takes 30 mins in an oven, only one swoop of the knife required)
- 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)
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
other tips:
- 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!
- if you’re on instagram, there are a bajillion different recipe accounts that post videos! a few of my favorites: jipsoon_kitchen, eatwitzo, cordandthekitchen, chungeats, tiffy.cooks, two_plaid_aprons
absolutely love reading such a well-written story and falling a bit in love with the author based solely on the way they write. like baby the way you italicize words makes my heartbeat quicken.
the way little boys are groomed to be overly sexual makes me want to fucking set shit on fire
nobody ever fucking points out how weird it is too and when people do, it’s usually defended and met with “At least he isn’t gay” (if the little boy is acting ‘sexually’ towards a woman or figure of a woman)
that’s a little fucking boy, you shouldn’t be concerned of whether he likes tits or not. you should be concerned why people are grooming him to behave this way.
I genuinely think a lot of people don’t see little boys as little boys, they just see them as small men and therefore are taught/encouraged to be sexual and are congratulated when a woman sexually abuses them.
dating-type app but instead of matching for romance it connects writers/artists+ who don’t want to do research with autistic people with the appropriate special interest
the creators get the needed information without needing to filter out filler and translate technical jargon, and the autistic person gets someone who’s willing to listen to their infodumps. what is there to lose
Today, one of my second graders was working on shape name recognition, and we got to this picture of a pyramid shape with a wide-ish base. When he saw it, his eyes lit up and he turned to me with a huge grin on his face, pointed at it, and said “When the teacher forgets to assign homework” before bursting out into hysterics, covering his mouth and giggling.
I don’t understand what happened except this kid CLEARLY knows about the strong comedic and memeable value of mathematical shapes and emotions that I, an old millennial, cannot comprehend
I did, however, try to recreate this moment as the meme this child must have seen in his headmaybe he was thinking of the dancing triangle meme??
i have seen this gif with that exact caption before. this is absolutely the one he was thinking of
That kid saw one of the simplest geometric shapes and said that’s blorbo from my memes 👍
