    I’ve got this easy recipe that I keep doing on weekdays, for lunch, 3 times a week.

    Ingredients :

    • 1 pita bread
    • some protein (eggs, tuna, chicken…)
    • 1 green onion
    • small cubes of cheese, I like using feta, but whatever you prefer
    • I like adding fruits like a few sliced grapes or half an apple, diced
    • diced bell pepper, sweet pickles, whatever veggies you like.
    • arugula or spinach or lettuce
    • some sunflower seeds
    • 1 spoon of light Philadelphia cream cheese, to keep all of it together.

    Instructions :

    1. Mix all the stuff.
    2. Cut the pita bread in 2 halves.
    3. Fill them with the stuff.
    4. Add the remaining of the apple to the plate
    5. Consume and enjoy greatly.

    Cheesecake. When I wake up in the night (frequent insomnia due to a diagnosed condition), heavy food helps me get back to sleep.

    Yesterday was a burger and fries as a decadent treat for dinner. I / we rarely eat so terribly, but it’s a delight when we do. My better half usually cooks, but her being tired made it an opportune time to suggest fast food.

    I’ll take a chocolate pudding cup and mix in some cheddar goldfish crackers. The strong flavor contrast and texture contrast makes it so fun to eat. Another option is to take cheddar potato chips and dip them into the pudding like a normal chip dip.

      I was a poor kid living in Hawaii in the mid 90’s.

      Wendy’s in Hawaii had a salad bar. If you ordered the “dine in” salad bar, they gave you a fairly small plate and you were allowed one trip.

      If you ordered it to go, you still had the one trip restriction, but they would give you a big plastic clamshell to go container. They assumed you would put food in the bottom of the container and close it up and leave.

      Not me. I would order to go, but fill both halves of the container and eat it all at one of the tables. Usually one of the halves was mostly Chocolate pudding and cheezy crackers.

    I keep a vase full of uncooked spaghetti next to my desk and chomp on it when I need to think.

    I grew up in a very ghetto area so sometimes I drink 211, cheap 40s, or hobo wine and it reminds me of my childhood. Bonus points if I can find the glass 40oz bottles but they’re super rare nowadays.

    Yes I can absolutely afford actually good beer and I actually have a pretty good taste in beer (at least I think so)

    Kraft (specifically Kraft) mac and cheese as served on a restaurant kid’s menu.

    Something about the bland reheated taste and not having to do shit about it myself just soothes my soul

    If it’s good hot, I’ll probably wrap it up in a tortilla and then fry it on the stove. Burritos make basically any food better.

      Bonus pts for wetting the tortilla first, depending on ingredients. That can help bring out its flavors and give it more complexity in terms of the cooking.

      Another one is adding a few drops of ghost pepper chipotle sauce, grated parm/cheddar, and garlic powder to the ingredients. Tajin can be nice, too.

    Time for my abuelo’s only surving recipe to shine. Hang in there with me for this one!

    Set gas burner to medium low.

    Take a corn tortilla (bonus if you made it yourself, but store bought works in a pinch) and throw it on the burner.

    Flip the tortilla just as the side is begging to have burnt spots but make sure the things not catching on fire; we’re going for ‘foldable without breaking’ so don’t torch the thing.

    Once the other side looks like the first side, remove from heat.

    Now, the next part depends on how clean you keep your burner…

    If its clean, take your bologna (if your still with me I promise it’s worth it) out of its packaging and huck it on the burner.

    Do not let it burn as its going to smell like burnt bologna.

    Remove from heat and wrap in your tortilla.

    Eat it while you clean your burner then question your life choices. 10/10 every time.

      This reminds me of a childhood snack I would do… tortilla on a gas stovetop until slightly browned then roll an American cheese slice in it afterwards when it’s piping hot off the burner. Or just a plain tortilla from the burner. I can still remember frantically blowing my burning tortilla out like it was yesterday. Agreed 10/10.

    I will just straight eat peanut butter with a spoon. The peanut butter is what I really want and putting on or in something just adds that many more calories.

    (I do run into problems sometimes because my cat tries to steal my peanut butter.)
