Grilled Charlie

beans and rice. there are so many kinds of beans and ways to cook then. pinto beans, black beans, red beans, white beans.

I haven't tried this in a while.
I usually make some pasta with a jar of tomato & herb sauce with cut up Peperami. All the stuff lasts for a while so I don't have to worry about it going off and it's easy to put together.

fry up some meat, make instant mashed potato, eat with whatever pickled or fresh veggies I have
I like meat

How is making it in one pan better than just making a normal egg sandwich?

>>19679244
Everything gets cooked at once as opposed to cooking everything separately

I just ate a microwaveable mac and cheese cup with a can of tuna mixed into it.

>>19679148
American cheese like in your pic is not real cheese. Just because you are le sad does not make it ok to not use real cheese slice's

But you're a 100% soy wojak. Well done

>>19679478
Fake cheese, fake food, fake man.

>>19679148
>what do you make?
I don’t, I grab whatever pre-cooked shit is in the fridge and put it individually on my plate. Almost all my meals are cold.

>>19679423
American cheese is just cheddar emulsified with extra milk and whey to make it creamier. Do you think melting cheese and mixing it with milk to form a sauce makes it not cheese any more? Would you think that letting it solidify again and then slicing it makes it not cheese any more? At what point in the process does cheddar cheese stop being cheese?

>>19679274
I do this several times a week and I enjoy it every time.

>>19681278
>At what point in the process does cheddar cheese stop being cheese?

Legally, once it contains less than 60% cheese, this isn't some fucking ship of theseus conundrum.

Butter noodles. Just boil any pasta you have in the pantry and add a fuck ton of butter. Make a lot so you can just keep reheating it and eating that for as long as possible. Add pepper or garlic salt if you want to be fancy.

>>19681689
this is how you get by during a blizzard or whatever and you can't do anything fancy. and it's fucking legit. just douse with oregano and garlic powder if you want and it slips right down.

on less dire days you can do more with it but in any case, butter pasta is a fucking staple, and kids eat it years before they enjoy tomato sauce

>>19681689
butter and soy sauce makes a great simple sauce, I used to cook buckwheat groats with butter, soy sauce, and onion a lot
butter really is one of humanity's greatest inventions

>>19679148
Old crackers, what ever deli meat I have in the fridge, and cheese slices, basically like those shitty lunchables

>>19679274
How have I never thought of this

>>19681725
You were depressed :[

>>19681729
True. But I will remember it for next time I am depressed :)

>>19679148
I just threw some macaroni, sliced carrot and potato in a skillet with idk some water from the tap and a knob of butter and laury's seasoned salt and pepper. I came back 20 mins later and the water boiled off and the butter fried the stuff brown on the bottom. Ate it right off the skillet while sitting on the floor naked.
Livin the good life, friends.

>>19681682
>Endzone:
>not really hungry anyway
>stand in front of open fridge for the fourth time in the span of three hours and see that no one has filled it while you were not looking
You nailed it. Just finally dragged myself over to load the rice cooker and will crack an egg into it whenever it's done.

>>19679148
I usually open a bag of chips or anything salty whenever I'm depressed, also wraps
OP pic is usually my weekend breakfast since I have more time than during the week where I wake up, drink a cup of tea with some bisquits and go to work

>>19681817
this actually sounds normal and not necessarily depressed. I think you're holding up anon, somehow

>>19681853
whenever I feel like eating, I don't do it often because it would make me fat. I often also feel the urge to scream but I keep it inside because that would make me look mad

>>19681868
you should go /out/. you can scream into the void and it's pretty okay to do that sometimes, I do.

>>19679148

yes I'm eating it with ranch dressing and truffre hot sauce because I LIKE IT. also drunk ngl :3c

Maybe you're depressed BECAUSE you eat grainslop and pork, hmm?

>>19682344
Was it actually as easy as it looked to make? Sometimes these meme preparations end up being more trouble than they're worth.

>>19682400
How does he get out?

>>19682386
ngl it was basic af. I used 3 jumbo eggs and like 5 slices of ham so that was the only tricky part, too much shit to cook, fold, and fit, but even with my fatass drunk overfeeding it was pretty fucking easy.

def only easy with a good non-stick imho

>>19679148
>depression food
no such thing. depressed people don't eat.

Ranch is the most vile substance ever dreamt up as a foodstuff. Who wants to eat something that smells exactly like spoiled milk?

When I'm depressed, which is always, I usually don't have the will to cook. I almost always require getting high in order to feel okay enough to cook anything, so I usually make large quantities of something and eat for days. Recently, I've been making barbacoa for pretty much every meal. I throw 6 pounds of meat into a crock pot, the prep work of browning meat first and making chili paste is "easy" but more effort than I can tolerate sober. Plus, I won't clean anything if I'm not high.

>>19681695
What kind of weak willed faggot child can't eat some tomato sauce with their pasta?
t. didn't get coddled to shit

>>19682344
Thanks for the ride-along. Desu~~

>>19681790
Well done on that meal anon. Tomorrow shopping and depression meal tier up day for sure.

>When you feel down.
Being poor makes me sad, so every day I stuff my face with cheap, deep-fried potatoes or two or three packages of ramen soup with rice throughout the day.
Also cheap baloney deep-fried and put inside a bun of milk bread/white bread does it for me.

>>19682588
Spend less money on oil and maybe you won't be poor anymore

>>19682421
Some deppresed people don't eat. Other deppresed people eat until they become deathfats.

Its like sleep, either no sleep at all or all they do is sleep

>>19679148
what's the recipe?

I ate a handful of sesame chips and hummus for dinner last night.

>>19679148
>Tried making that viral one pan egg sandwich for the first time yesterday and it was actually very good

I genuinely starve myself because I don't have the motivation to make food or eat pre-made food.
Last time I lost 30 lbs in 2 months

>>19682432
So first off - regular ranch does NOT smell like that. Second off, if you are talking about buttermilk ranch, which DOES have a strong smell, its supposed to be tangy and have that vinegar-like bite. Neither of which are vile.

Ranch is the magic vegetable fixer - it makes any shite veggie taste good.

I spread habanero garlic sauce on a pita. Add some sliced Genoa salami, and wrap it like a burrito. Nuke it for a minute and we're good to go.

>>19681689
when I was a broke ass student I would buy packs of pasta from the shop for 20p each and make butter noodles and add a heaped tablespoon of marmite. glorious.

>>19684051
Sounds like that other anon needs to put some ranch on his rotten attitude >:|

Thanks anon, it was so worth it. I was up for work 4 hours later and made it through the day.

Thank you egg & ham meme sandwich ilu

>>19679148
I bet some pepperoni on that instead of bacon would be good. I usually keep a few bags of turkey pepperoni around because it doesn't need to be frigged

Every so often I just take a can or pouch of tuna in water, drain it, and put it in top of rice.
I thought it was just kind of lazy and simple but good.
But I recently started reading this manga where a convicted serial killer who might be innocent eats it with her hands like an animal and it has me wondering if I'm eating crazy person food.

2 cups of rice in the rice cooker, dump a can of chili and beans in it when it's done.

>>19679148

remember to buy your deenz boys also btw if you live near a safeway or probably albertsons or maybe vons cans of progresso soup are 97 cents and red baron pizzas are $2.50. i know safeway has it but im not sure about the other ones dont quote me but i assume they have same ads

>>19685478
2 actual cups of dry rice? that's a fuckton of rice anon. unless you mean two of those little ricey cups. I fucking can't stand how rice cups is even a thing. same as "cups" on a coffee pot. a cup should be 250ml ffs

but anyway, sounds good

>>19685519

>>19684051
We can agree to disagree. I've had ranch multiple times in my life, and always found it repulsive. Blue cheese dressing is the GOAT.

All of the food I make is depression food because I'm always depressed

>>19686525
A rice cup is 3/4 of a cup. It makes the perfect amount to fill one of those traditional rice bowls like this, or 3 onigiri.

>>19686610

>>19679148
I make ramen, then once I’ve eaten the noodles use the broth and the same pot to make instant mashed potatoes. Toss in some frozen corn, peas, and carrots.

Home made vegetable bouillon broth - roasted vegetables pureed, dehydrated and powdered

Random vegetables

Some sort of protein

Some sort of whole grain

Throw it all into a pot and cook for 20-40 mins

You could sub something like mrs dash for the vegetable broth or a typical bouillon i guess but i like how the home made vegetable bouillon tastes. Its powdered like a bouillon but it has the robustness of a high quality vegetable broth. It's one of my secrets to making easy delicious meals

>>19687159
Sounds like a lot of work for depression food

>>19682344
life is too short to overcook ya eggs man

>>19687170
It is, but its not something I do often, maybe once every two months

I am currently extremely depressed and knowing I can make a simple, tasty nutritious meal for myself helps me to cope

>>19683449
that's like gulag-tier

>>19681689
Don't forget the Barfy steaks.
https://youtu.be/Fr4sV6b8RUk?si=ZFHNWFCFwOPhrHDy

For me, it's a can of baked beans with some potato chips. Heat is unnecessary. I like to use ridged BBQ flavor chips because I'm worth it.

>>19684051
I suspect that most ranch is poorly made as the shit from the store is awful but the ingredients list implies it shouldn't be. That said, I'm a blue cheese type of guy, so I'm biased anyways.

I read depression as in economic depression

>not a single fruit on display
This food is utter shit, no wonder you're depressed

>>19689081
So... what should be replaced with fruit?
Which fruit, if that matters?
If you care enough to criticize I assume you're not just doing it to accentuate the negativity.

no anon, no. pickerel is the house I grew up in, and we survive without power on a semiregular basis during winter. a couple times my brother and I fended for ourselves for 4-5 days without power, because we cook with gas and have a fireplace and a wood furnace.

however, cooking as much as you like is one thing, but the water pump is electric and this makes cleaning dishes a massive pain in the ass, so we don't waste water cleaning dishes and heating snow in pots is a pain that nobody wants to deal with if you can help it. ergo, cook simple food with minimal mess.

haven't left my house in 2 months. a favorite is homemade rice-a-roni style rice, but i'm running low on rice and don't want to go out to get more, so lately it's been a lot of beans.

>>19691067
Gas is power.

Rice a roni with sliced hot dogs in a 2 1/2 cup sized rice cooker

>>19679148
That looks too convoluted to make while you're depressed.

No joke this thread inspired me to try to go for the pan to make weiners instead of microwaving them... and my recurrent narcolepsy kicked in and I only woke up when my alarm went off hours later, the pan empty and the uncured dogs left out (I've gotten dreadfully sick taking chances before).

Welp, homemade milk tea as my meal of the day works too.

>>19691354
jesus. do you have actual narcolepsy or do you just fall asleep the moment you recline?

>>19691361
>do you just fall asleep the moment you recline
Essentially - the kind if tired sleeping doesn't dent. in a way i almost wish it was drugs so it could be something resolvable by denying myself something, rather than ambiguous sleep studies and the like.

>>19685462
white rice and tuna is what i do too, either tuna or a couple fried eggs and call it a day.

>>19691371
I think you need to come up with a system, at least for when you're cooking or if you've left water running for some reason. like only allowing yourself to sit in a wooden dining room chair or something you can't fall asleep in. at least until after the stove/oven/tap is off

>>19691382
>like only allowing yourself to sit in a wooden dining room chair or something you can't fall asleep in
I actually was sitting next to the stove in a chair on the kitchen that I suppose was too comfortable, come to think of it. It was my phone alarm that woke me up, not the fire alarm. Nothing caught on fire, just oxidized the pan.

I'm seriously wondering about where someone like me is supposed to go for help, but for now I guess sticking to the microwave is the practical solution

>>19691390
there are lots of things that can cause sudden bouts of fatigue. I would say get your bloods done, there's medication to correct imbalances and maybe that's all you need

>>19691405

Found a kind some premade pulled pork in the freezer so I'll thaw it and heat that up with saltines and condiments and take that as a win.
Have a good day as well.
