You still need to eat dinner, but want to have time to paint/hobby before bedtime. Do you still take the time to cook a decent dinner, or throw something in the microwave? Or go with delivery? I get home from work at 2am on a good day. At that point my only option is to grab a fistful of some foodstuff and call it a snack. Unless it's Friday. Then I'm stopping on my way home for greasy cheesesteaks 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my cooking is in the slow cooker or instant pot. However, most of my cooking is also making all of my lunches for the work week at once. When left to my own devices for a single night's dinner and I'm the only one I'm feeding, I'll usually just do something quick in the microwave. I'm not above ordering pizza but it's expensive for one person and using the microwave takes less time (unless I think to order pizza when I'm about halfway home). Odds are, though, that if I'm getting home late, I won't have time to hobby anyway. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redambrosia Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Potatoes are God’s perfect dirt apple. You can even make booze out of them if you are so inclined. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a couple ways of eating potatoes that I’m not as fond of (potato salad and the aforementioned booze), but I love potatoes. They’re my favorite food. I had baked potatoes tonight, and they were excellent. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your favorite way(s) to enjoy the famed staple of the Irish diet, the potato? Thin-sliced and fried in a skillet, with diced onions, and bacon or chopped ham. A weekend breakfast when I was a college student. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your favorite way(s) to enjoy the famed staple of the Irish diet, the potato? Cooked. So long as cooking was involved I'm in. Roasting, mashing, vodka-ing, frying, hashing, boiling, I do not care. Potatoes are the one starch I miss and the one cheat I take when on keto, whether it be now or previous bouts. I will slice them thin and fry them, I will roast it and eat it in my hand wrapped in a towel, I will smother it in chili and cheese and regret every life choice I've ever made. A common side dish I make when lazy is the Pan of Potatoes. Serves 2 people, maybe 3. Cube and boil 1-2 pounds of potatoes until fork-ish tender. Meanwhile, fry at least one diced onion and 5 cloves garlic and a big spoon of butter. Drain potatoes. Add more butter to the frying pan and, once melted, dump the drained potatoes in. Shred or slice "enough" cheese while turning potatoes in the buttery goodness to give them some flavor. Salt and pepper to taste. Add cheese to frying pan and cut the heat, keep stirring until the cheese has melted all through the potatoes in a gigantic cheesy starchy oniony mass. Eat as a main or side dish. There are never leftovers. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NM's Pan of Potatoes will do. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general I am not a fan of vegetables, but the potato I will gladly eat. It is also the bedrock of my scheme to rise to the title of Local Warlord of the post viral wasteland. The sigil of my kingdom shall be a coffee mug flanked by a pumpkin on the left and a potato on the right. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
