He put pepper on the macaroni, he truly went all-out
Where’s the bread crumbs?
He used that to make the tenders.
Panko no less. We have a chef on our hands
On the carpet.
If the cheese and meat is good, then this is a really nice dinner. Add a simple salad to that and its perfect.
simple salad
Is coke okay?
Gotta be Mountain Dew, it’s green.
Just Dew it!
I usually do the coke after eating so I don’t spoil my appetite.
takes notes
What, like cola? Or cocaine?
Little bit of column A, little bit of column B
Can I come to yours for dinner?
You need to find some in your Halloween candy like everyone else :P
Awww maaaaan
Either way, please reuse the straw
Fun fact: consuming coca leaves (from which cocaine is made) is legal in some Latin American countries. It helps with nausea.
Is the natural concentration pretty high? This made me think of poppy seeds
Not really, you gotta chew a lot or drink a lot of tea to feel anything and then it’s more like drinking a few cups of coffee
It’s good for the altitude sickness
So it really is like poppies
Haven’t tried poppies yet in large enough quantities to feel anything, but I’d assume yes. Also similar to other mild natural drugs, like Khat or Kava or Nutmeg
It should be legal everywhere. It’s only dangerous in refined form. Nobody would snort pure caffeine cause you would literally just die. But in its natural concentration it’s not that harmful and can even have beneficial effects in moderation. Coca leaves are the same way honestly.
Coca cola is still flavored with (decocainized) coca leaves.
I forgot which bag is which, so don’t blame me if you end up in a hole
Mountain Dew at least so it’s green. Go all the way!
We don’t have Coke, is Pepsi okay?
No. I’ll take a water.
Water? Like out of the toilet?
I understood that reference!
The super salad for me, please.

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.
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.
Oven? Why be such an overachiever? If it requires more than 1 button press on the microwave I’m just gonna eat it cold.
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.
Word to your mother.
If you get used to cooking chopping an onion isn’t work.
That depends. Saying that as someone who trained as a chef. There are levels of exhaustion.
Agreed. I cook every single meal my family eats, one onion is under 30 seconds of faff. Even thin-sliced.
Aside from the lack of veggies, I fail to see the issue here.
All the veggies are contaminated now. This is health food.
Cheese is a vegetable.
He’s not wrong, doesn’t make it any less delicious!
It’s a pie. A pizza pie. The closest any pizza has come to being an actual pie.
Tasty and comforting, but god damn the sodium.
She expected princess treatment and decide it was more fun to mock a genuine attempt.
Not a keeper.Or she’s just razzing him a bit. Crazy what a bunch of soft whiny crybabies men are these days.
There’s a lot of unnecessary animal consumption here stemming (probably) from abusive practices.
This looks indistinguishable from the vegan dinner I had just the other day
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.
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 am stealing that expression.
I watched my body building friend eat rice, chicken, and hot sauce. Every day for years. Joy was not part of the equation.
I’ve read that “chicken and broccoli” is a body-builder euphemism for gear (steroids and growth hormones etc.) but apparently that’s not true for everybody.
When I went away to college, my mom would mail me cooked ground beef.
Did she have it refrigerated & sent with ice packs? If not, eew, major health code violation & I assume you didn’t die of worms since you’re here to tell a story about how thoughtful your mom is.
Yes, ice packs and one giant zip lock of 4 pounds of meat. I don’t really know why she did it, I had a job and money. I did eat it and it was nice though. Poured it into a bowl and microwaved it.
Are you able to find out now…? I’m still baffled.
I can’t just ask no, i dont want to unintentionally make her feel bad about herself.
I don’t know her, I’ll ask and risk her unintentionally feeling bad about herself!
But seriously, that’s your choice. I would just want to know in your shoes. Hell, you used it and appreciated it, start with that! “Hey mom, I heard that parents these days consider kids out of sight/out of mind and basically cut-off when they leave the house, even for college! I know you kept me fed when I wasn’t living at home… Thanks for that!”
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.
i eat raw kibbi from time to time. beef and lamb with spices. some onion to scoop it up
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.
That’s American boy dinner. This shit don’t fly in Europe.
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.
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!
I do not get people enjoying Annie’s.
Annie’s got trashed on a blind taste test by professional chefs on a YouTube channel I watch. Kraft actually rated higher,
I think it’s fine for boxed Mac. What don’t you like about it?
So is Annie’s OK? Is Annie’s OK? Is it OK from Annie’s?
Ha I feel like I’m missing the joke
It’s a play on a line from the song Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson.
I always sing it as “Annie are you Oakley?”
Ohhhh gotcha thanks. Hearing the Alien Ant Farm cover in my head right now
I just don’t like it. I don’t think it tastes especially good.
My parents loved Cracker Barrel mac & cheese but one time I substituted Annie’s because it was on sale and they literally spit it out. I personally couldn’t perceive any difference between the two.
Weird.
they have lactose free. that’s it.
No vegetables!
Ketchup is added after
And definitely no ketchup on this. It’s already perfect.
Some green beans and spinach would be nice. Otherwise, looks pretty good
What is this? Girl dinner?!?!
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.
Damn, he put pepper on the mac and cheese for you? He must be really fond of you.
This looks amazing though
what the hell is the fork for?
The whiskey.
For repeatedly driving into your thigh, just to feel something for once.
Now we’re talking!
No talking until you finish your dinner. Or wake up from it…
Mmm. Looks good. So long as those aren’t fish sticks -_-
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 it won’t be poisonous this time
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.
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.
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.
I am of the persuasion that rabies doesn’t exist.
I’ve never gotten it, so therefore it must be a myth.

Yeah, tell that to my wife who got the stomach flu so bad, she collapsed in the parking lot of the ER.
*food poisoning
Stomach flu is viral and food poisoning is bacterial. 2 different things.
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
It’s the little baddies that ride the food in and multiply that’s bad. When they hit critical mass, the body expels them.
Depends on the food iirc. I had bad sushi that had me puking within maybe six hours. God that was a nightmare, and I hate that I’m hesitant to try my favorite food again. At the same time I’m grateful that it didn’t seem to get digested enough to go through both ends
That right there looks like an amazing meal.
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.
Agreed. This plate looks great but it could use some roasted broccoli or sprouts, or sauteed green beans or something. Eat your greens!
Best we can do is corn. Super healthy corn.
I would probably go with steamed spinach.
I like spinach, I just hate how I buy a bag the size of a pillow and it cooks down to about a tablespoon.
Same, first time I cooked with it I did a wtf face.
