Cold, sweet, ice cream coats the stomach, caffeine keeps you going. Wouldn’t go so far as to call it a hangover cure, but it’s the perfect hangover treat
a pretty diverse snack: you can have it when it’s time for coffee and you can also have it when it’s time for dessert. you can even add baileys or some other liqueur if you’re nasty. the contrast of sweet and bitter is so exquisite, and then you get an extra little creamy coffee sip at the very end.
My go to for when I need to cook something but don’t want to cook anything. Fry up a diced onion in a pot till it starts to brown. Toss in a cup of lentils and add 3.5 cups of water. Season with a decent amount of salt, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 20. Then stir in 1/3 cup of rice, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rice is cooked, the lentils are very tender and the whole thing has a porridge consistency, another 20-25 (but start looking out for doneness after 15). The lentils might stick at the bottom toward the end but that’s fine; let it sit for a few minutes when it’s done cooking then scrape and stir in the lentils at the bottom. adjust salt, season with pepper and if you want, cumin, and stir in about 1/4 cup of good olive oil. There’s dinner. She’s done in an hour and most of it is hands off. Deceptively tasty and satisfying for how simple it is.
