You shouldn’t be keeping food in the fridge for 2 weeks. 4-5 days max. You should immediately freeze it when you cook it. Don’t wait a few days before freezing it.

“skipping breakfast or eating at home”
Look, McDonald’s breakfast is pretty damn good, and is super nostalgic. But holy fuck 1030 cutoff and like $6 for a mass produced, frozen sausage patty, English muffin, and a Kraft single is insane.
Also, I just meal prepped us an awesome breakfast for the next two weeks. Like 15lbs of chunked potatoes, mushrooms, onions, hot sausage slices, and bell peppers, seasoned with Chile powder and garlic butter, oven roasty-toasted to golden brown, and tossed into containers in the fridge.
Then in the morning, I plate a big scoop or so of that and microwave it until it’s hot, and fry two eggs with runny yolks, topped with salt and fresh ground black pepper and some hot sauce (like valentina) on the plate. Fork, toast, glass of milk or coffee.
Fuck you, McDonald’s. Like 30 meals-worth was only like $35 bucks, and kicks the shit out of most things.
I look forwards to breakfast everyday now.

…might let it cool first, then freeze it!
RalphFurley@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Definitely need to cool it. Even if not freezing. When I worked in restaurants we had a cooling shelf in the walk-in that we had to stir the 40lb batch of ground beef now and then

Freezing something is cooling something.
5too@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It is, but putting a hot thing next to other cold things also warms them, and can allow bacterial growth to start if it’s a large enough heat source. Letting it cool some first avoids that.

It is amazing how many people just didn't know these basics...
I thought everyone's mom taught this
But no 🤡

my local bagel shop sells a fresh bagel on a fresh egg with cheese for $7.
Bosht@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
My god that sounds amazing. We don’t have bagel places around here and I’d fucking kill for something like that. Also now I’m hungry.

how do you know when someone abuses animals don’t worry they never stop telling you
Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
The irony here, lol. I think you know that the joke usually is told about vegans. In your attempt to flip the script, you end up playing your part perfectly.
Comes into the conversation not looking to participate, makes sure that everyone knows that they are vegan. Doesn’t elaborate. Hilarious 10/10 vegan satire. I love vegans, but man are some of you ever easy to laugh at.

If there’s a point you’re trying to make I, can’t tell what it is
Smokeydope@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
The point they were trying to make is meat bad and you should feel bad for eating it. Some people have no sense of pragmatic reality and need some cause to feel good about themselves, so they force everyone around them to watch food inc and virtue signal simply to fill in the void of where a real unique personality and opinion set should be. According to vegans agriculture as a whole is evil and everyone who eats a hamburger is equivalent to a sociopath who tortures animals for fun. Unfortunately they would have a point about cruelty and inhumane industrial farming practices, which is completely undercut by obnoxious high-horsing and blaming people for buying the hamburgers instead of the industry and lack of even the most basic rights for non-human animals.

I was always told mushrooms have a limited shelf life after being cooked, 3-4 days.
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Good point. I should freeze it all in portions, soon, maybe tomorrow.

The worst feeling is getting food poisoning or even just mild gastric upset and not knowing why.
As I get older I have started listening more to the traditional wisdoms and not eating the pizza that has been out of refrigeration for two days.
