  When I need to eat but don’t want to put in any effort: half a cup of rice, half a cup of lentils, two cups stock (I use veggie stock, but you can use chicken, beef, etc.) Season with whatever you have in your spice drawer that looks good. Bring the water to a boil then lower the heat to low and let it simmer covered for 20-ish minutes. It’s bland but filling, lentils provide protein, it’s ready in less time than it would take to get delivery, and you don’t have to watch it. Rice and lentils will keep in your cabinet forever. You can get stock paste or boullion that keeps a long time too.

  You can still have two beers, but now you’re not drinking on an empty stomach.

    Your “no effort” meal, sounds like a lot of effort to me.

    My low effort meal is “open packet, put ready meal in oven or microwave”

    source

    • BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      This is low effort and cheap and relatively healthy compared to those microwave dinners though, a big bag of rice and lentils doesn’t cost much and is shelf stable for a year easily

      Put the rice and lentils in a packet. You could also make this in a microwave. A rice cooker would work too.

      This is easier than mac and cheese from a box.

    • underreacting@literature.cafe ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I prep this by mixing dry lentils and dry rice in a box with a measuring cup on it.

      Compared to oven ready meals it’s just the extra step of using the cup to add from the box once and from the tap twice. And you don’t even have to wait for the oven to heat up.

    Can I suggest putting some frozen kale or spinach in it as well? For extra veggies and taste. We basically cook that every week and I love it. Granted, I put a tad more effort into it (stir fry onion and garlic and tomato paste before I add rice, lentils, greens and broth) but it’s basically the same.

    Also try adding soy sauce, smoked paprika, and liquid smoke. Just a drop but it does wonders. Yeast flakes are also great.

    I put rice and lentils in a rice cooker, then eat with peanuts and aioli. Add microwaved frozen soy beans / corn if I’m feeling fancy. 5 minutes preparation, 20 minutes of wait.

  • BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    That’s NO effort? When I’m going no effort, it’s a PB&J, and even that can take some motivation. Three ingredients is already pushing the envelope, but at least there’s no heat involved.

    • HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      my no effort is a 10 minute (including bringing water to boil) pasta recipe that’s been handed down from my grandfather. i made it for my wife when i was wooing her because i couldn’t think of anything fancy to make, and it was, her words, best red sauce she’d ever had. gave me insight into (1) how good a cook my grandfather and mother were, and (2) how bad hers were.

    I prep this by mixing dry lentils and dry rice in a box with a measuring cup on it.

    Pour mix from cup into pan once, pour water from cup into pan twice, add bouillon cube/stock. Turn stove on medium-low. Wait (take a shower or other 10-15 min activity, or experiment with additional spices into pan). Add veggies like frozen peas or spinach or corn, if feeling fancy. Turn off stove. Eat.

  I drink two beers in the morning, I drink two beers at night, I drink two beers in the afternoon, and then I feel alright!

  I drink two beers in times of peace, and two in times of war; I drink two beers before I drink two beers, and then I drink two more!

  My friends say I have a drinking problem. A drinking problem! What drinking problem? I drink, I get drunk, I fall down. No problem!

    Depends on the target and the social setting, and your tolerance.

    At the bar? Hell no, we’re gonna get sloppy and tell jokes and laugh at each other.

    At home, after a rough day at work, playing a board game, watching a show, 2 is just enough to imperceptibly lighten the dark clouds without impairing your cognition enough to fuck up the situation.

  Interestingly, the calorie counts on food packaging are derived from the Atwater system (and later modifications) that estimate digestible calories from the amount of fat, protein and carbohydrates in each food item. These numbers are based on experimental research on food substitution and weight loss/gain done in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The calorie counts for alcohol are similarly based on the measurable amount of alcohol in each drink, except that the number used (7 kcal per g) was just a complete guess on Atwater’s part since they couldn’t do equivalent substitution experiments involving booze.

    You may have a sensitivity or allergy to hops. Bitter beers are made with more hops and that might explain your reaction.

    Modern beers are definitely too strong. I’ve been thinking about mixing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer of the same brand to approximate a more reasonable beer, but I usually just end up drinking either only non-alcoholic beer or a cocktail.
