Where’s the bread crumbs?
EmpatheticTeddyBear@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
He used that to make the tenders.

Aside from the lack of veggies, I fail to see the issue here.
gastroglizzy@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
All the veggies are contaminated now. This is health food.
undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 2 weeks ago
There’s a lot of unnecessary animal consumption here stemming (probably) from abusive practices.
TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
This looks indistinguishable from the vegan dinner I had just the other day

She expected princess treatment and decide it was more fun to mock a genuine attempt.

Or she’s just razzing him a bit. Crazy what a bunch of soft whiny crybabies men are these days.
GuerillaGorillas@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Tasty and comforting, but god damn the sodium.
Malica@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
First time I ate over at my husband’s, he gave me an entire rib eye and nothing else. This is when I learned about boy dinner.
arrow74@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
I once saw a guy eat an entire pound of ground beef. Just some pan fried ground beef with salt and pepper. Nothing else, just pure boy kibble

I watched my body building friend eat rice, chicken, and hot sauce. Every day for years. Joy was not part of the equation.
Stormy@thelemmy.club 2 weeks ago
When I went away to college, my mom would mail me cooked ground beef.

Me SO and I Cook fairly often and maybe once every year or two we will go through a spurt where we primarily only eat one thing. We don’t really discuss it, just naturally we get in a rutt where we both don’t want to cook and gravitate to who ever comes up with the best boy/girl dinner and lock in on that. Instead of dinner it becomes whatever cute nick name we give it. Kind of like how people call chipotle slopbowls we had a spinich lunch meat salad we just called turkey bowl.
We ate only ham on bread with swiss for nearly a month, charcuterie for a few weeks, a lunch meat spinach salad with olive garden dressing for nearly a month. Then we get bored or it or we start feeling like we need actual nutrition.
Its weird because we normally enjoy cooking and making nice food that takes time and effort, then out of no where its like your brain breaks and you just want the least ingredients to be considered a meal.

Ah, memories.
BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
i eat raw kibbi from time to time. beef and lamb with spices. some onion to scoop it up
Gladaed@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
That’s American boy dinner. This shit don’t fly in Europe.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
My sister-in-law cooks like that. She’ll make one main course (and TBF it’s delicious) but absolutely nothing else – no side dishes, no salad, not even anything to drink.
RaoulDuke25@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
I mean, if it was hand battered and fried and the mac wasn’t kraft but actually put together, then it’s a pretty nice meal. Add some vegetables.
BigDiction@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’d guess the breading was hand done. Bit uneven thickness. Mac sauce looks just about perfect.
Assumed this was Annie’s Mac and Cheese from the color and some random frozen chicken tenders from Costco at first, but the breading looks homemade.
Nice weeknight meal!

No talking until you finish your dinner. Or wake up from it…
Aedaz_@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
This looks amazing though
Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That breaded fried… meat? chimken? something?- looks fantastic actually, that came out really good. This plate should be really tasty! I would personally at minimum add some mud/swamp native veggies like probably some yellow/white onion finely chopped slowly glazed? I get all my veggies from dinner and sadly, this plate will not supply me with my 200g minimum.
marighost@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Agreed. This plate looks great but it could use some roasted broccoli or sprouts, or sauteed green beans or something. Eat your greens!
HeyJoe@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Best we can do is corn. Super healthy corn.
EmpatheticTeddyBear@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I would probably go with steamed spinach.
eurodyne@piefed.world 2 weeks ago
So, how many years have you been married to your husband?
Gerudo@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Damn, if you don’t want it, send it my way. Mac n cheese is my ultimate comfort food.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
I hate when I see a video going “here is my go-to lazy meal for when I’m totally beat” and the first thing they do is start chopping an onion.
A lazy meal is a bag of beige crap from the freezer, dumped into an oven tray and left for 20 minutes on gas mark 8. If it’s more effort than that, you can stick it.
RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 2 weeks ago
it’s like when someone uploads a video of “cheap diy project” and half the materials is a couple hundred dollars of stuff they already own from previous projects. or “cheap optiplex gaming pc” and the gpu is a rtx 3090 nvidia gave them for free for being a tech youtuber.
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Oven? Why be such an overachiever? If it requires more than 1 button press on the microwave I’m just gonna eat it cold.
motruck@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
If you get used to cooking chopping an onion isn’t work.
baddaywithacamera@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That depends. Saying that as someone who trained as a chef. There are levels of exhaustion.
Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Agreed. I cook every single meal my family eats, one onion is under 30 seconds of faff. Even thin-sliced.
Raiderkev@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I buy frozen chopped onions and pepper and onion mix because I fucking hate chopping. Admittedly, the peppers aren’t as good vs fresh, but I will deal with subpar peppers to not have to chop anything. I will say, one annoying thing is fewer and fewer grocery stores stock frozen chopped onions, likely due to lower margins because they are usually dirt cheap, like $1/ bag.
baddaywithacamera@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Word to your mother.
Lojcs@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Mac & cheese have been ruined for me by that instinct that makes you disgusted by the last thing you ate before getting a stomach bug. Cmon body it’s not a novel type of berry or won’t be poisonous this time
RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 2 weeks ago
Same thing happened to me and celery. One fucking bite and as soon as it plopped into my stomach crippling pain and out of school for the week with flu.
MINUTES BEFORE the christmas cheesecske dinner, too.
TommySalami@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Had the same thing with coconut. Used to like it, until I paired it with the flu. Now I can’t have anything that I can’t have anything that tastes like it or I get queasy. That happened when I was a child and it has carried into being an adult.
Interestingly enough if you had a strong enough preference for something it kind of overrides that instinct. I did the same thing with lasagna and I still eat that shit up like Garfield.
BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I am of the persuasion that stomach bugs do not exist.
Food poisoning is more common than one would think, but also takes a bit longer than one would think.
PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I am of the persuasion that rabies doesn’t exist.
I’ve never gotten it, so therefore it’s a myth.
Gerudo@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Yeah, tell that to my wife who got the stomach flu so bad, she collapsed in the parking lot of the ER.
Lojcs@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
I do remember hearing that that food poisoning is the fault of something you ate much earlier that week. But also, food seems to stay 1-4 days in my body after eating it. So if that were the case the puke impulse wouldn’t clear out the thing that caused the illness, it would be in the intestines or out of the body already. If puking evolved it must be for a reason

I grew up with parents who loved to cook and grow their own vegetables - I was always cooking with them. When I moved into an engineering dormitory, I was shocked to learn that absolutely no ~20 y/o around me knew how to cook. Seeing a picture of this plate brought me back - everybody made crap like this.
Also, once I saw a dude trying to boil a whole cheese (his parents were mega-wealthy, and he had never cooked once in his life).
pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Elaborate on boiling a “whole cheese” please
Muffi@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
I don’t eat cheese myself, so I can’t say specifically which one. I came into the common kitchen one day, and he was just boiling a big chunky slice (like from a cheese wheel). His reason was that he thought it would ‘soften it up’.
He was a great engineer but an incredibly odd fellow. His entire room was also just hip-height stacks of old tech, laptops, books and boardgames, with only a shallow walking path between his bed, desk and bathroom.
Leather@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
“Boil a whole cheese”!!?? To what end? Like a craft single, a 1 lb block of sharp Tillamook cheddar, a 20 kg wheel of parm?
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
To what end?
Triggering the end times.
CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Same here, I grew up around a farm so I’m not like a great chef, but I know how to put a meal together. One time I saw someone attempt to make onion soup by just boiling an onion in a pot.
I have a theory that they only see cooking in video games, where you throw the ingredients into a cauldron or whatever and the meal comes out so they think that’s how it works lol.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
My parents were proto-hippies (went to college in the '50s) who listened to The Kingston Trio and baked their own bread and such. We almost never ate out or ate packaged food. One year I went to summer camp and for breakfast they made real stuff like eggs and pancakes and bacon but also had those little boxes of sugary cereals on the tables. I pigged out on the cereal while everybody else ate the real food, since their parents never ever made shit like that for them.
Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
It’s a hot meal, and the mac looks homemade, and not from a box. Girl needs to talk to her boyfriend, and stop bitching on the internet. The conversation should start like this, “Thank you for dinner, I appreciate the effort. Next time you cook, can you make some of these things in the future, they are some of my favorite meals?”
My wife works a 7 days on 7 days off hospital shift. On her workdays, I stay up late and have a hot dinner ready for her. After 3 years, I have had 0 complaints. We talk to each other about things we like and our preferences, so I try to cook things I know she will like anyway. I used to make things like felafel from scratch, tons of homemade veggie soups from scratch, like split pea, butternut squash bisque, garden veggie, until I learned she didn’t like those things and just focused my efforts on things she likes.
In a healthy relationship, adults talk to each other about their wants and needs, instead of bitching on the internet.

Chicken tenders and mac and cheese will always hit.

S-tier dinner any day.

IronBeagle@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
That right there looks like an amazing meal.
Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I don’t see a problem here
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
That mac and cheese looks decent, if homemade. Usually the package stuff looks thinner than that at least.
I suspect the chicken is frozen, but it’s a nice breading. Though my family never mattered there art of frying things, so I cannot say.
CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
This looks fucking delicious
hansolo@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
Shit, my wife demands this sometimes. This lady is nuts.
Flamekebab@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
I don’t think I’ll ever understand the obsession with macaroni cheese. I’ve never had any that I’d describe as anything higher than tolerable. The only exception to this was a dollop of it, fried, on top of a burger.
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
if I had made this for my ex, our relationship probably would have lasted longer
not that that would have been a good thing, it was destined to fail for other reasons. but she’d have loved the fuck outta this and it’s way better than the mac & cheese and tendies she made herself
chunes@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It desperate needs some boiled broccoli, but honestly, not bad.
tigermountain@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
He absolutely loves you.
flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Damn, he put pepper on the mac and cheese for you? He must be really fond of you.
DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
This protein, carbs and fat. The full set.
adarza@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
he put it on a plate instead of just eating the mac & cheese out of the pot, and the nuggs off the oven tray.
he’s a KEEPER!!!
SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
My wife would be thrilled. This is her jam. But gotta have the ranch.
zaphod@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Should’ve been dino nuggs, but apart from that I don’t see a problem here.
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
If the cheese and meat is good, then this is a really nice dinner
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Is coke okay?
flilare@piefed.zip 2 weeks ago
Gotta be Mountain Dew, it’s green.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
I usually do the coke after eating so I don’t spoil my appetite.
brap@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
What, like cola? Or cocaine?
Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Mountain Dew at least so it’s green. Go all the way!
aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
We don’t have Coke, is Pepsi okay?
BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
I forgot which bag is which, so don’t blame me if you end up in a hole
cattywampas@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
But I can see mac and cheese right there
Randelung@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
The super salad for me, please.
