  • I’m 100% sympathetic to the “I want to not eat out but it’s a chore to cook”.

    Ovens, pressure cookers, and rice cookers are absolutely wonderful because of how set and check back later they are.

    Dressing up even simple foods like ramen with blanched leafy vegetables, poached eggs and some ham is fun.

    Furikake is a great way to add a bit of flavoring to white rice. Alternatively some soy sauce and sesame oil are both good pairings for rice and ramen as appropriate.

    Wraps can be fun too and may be a nice alternative to bread.


  • Frozen vegetables and frozen fruit in smoothies are considerable replacements. Alternatives include looking into sandwiches or wraps using stuff you can reasonably expect to consume in a reasonable amount of time. Could also consider throwing stuff into the oven (oven roasted root vegetables or broccoli/cauliflower and a rice cooker can make a decent meal with very little active cooking and more just watching the clock).

    A pressure cooker is also a nice idea along that vein (dump everything in, leave it and come back to some chilli in a few hours).


  • Yep lemmy.world is live (stress) testing in production. It has its benefits, like when a set of patches were committed to vastly improve performance that was a big problem on a huge instance like lemmy.world but not on the smaller ones, and its downsides with all the random issues that pop up which happen when testing live in production.
