weekly ingredients

Look, I’m not a meal prep girl. I don’t get why you’d want soggy salads three days from now. Here’s the stuff I’m making to make into other things. Beans, Baby 1-2 containers cannellini beans 1/4 cup-ish onion of any kind 1 small container cherry tomatoes, cut in half 1 lemon, juice 1-2 glugs olive oil Salt Black pepper Fennel seeds Shake and put in fridge in a place you’ll see it. Add to salads, eat as is. It’s beans, baby. Carrots Shaved into ribbons because you’re a fancy bitch and have a peeler. Maybe I’ll season them, maybe not. Add to salads, sandwiches, eat out of the container standing in the kitchen contemplating life. Shallots Sliced Fried until crispy Place in container with lid Sprinkle in flakey salt Shake it Add to salads, soups, eat out of the container with a hunk of cheese and tell yourself it’s a cheese board. Roasted Sweet Potatoes 1 large sweet potato, chopped Roast how you roast things Add to grain bowls, salads or on its own. It’s good, you’ll be so impressed with yourself when you eat it the next day. Other things that are good- Veggie lentil soup Salmon, done any way to eat any day Staring at containers stacked in your fridge on a Sunday afternoon and then ordering delivery to not ruin it.

This is how i keep myself alive every week as a lazy home cook

Vegan Caldo Verde * 1 large yellow onion diced * 1 lb carrots sliced * 6 cloves of garlic minced (but go with your heart as always for garlic) * Cayenne pepper * 2 tbsp Better Than Boullion veggie base (optional) * 2-3 russet potatoes sliced * 1-3 bunches of kale chopped depending on bunch size on how much of a kale fiend you are (lacinato is my preference) * 1-2 cans of cannellini beans In a large dutch oven (mine is 5.5 quarts) or pot heat 2-3 tbsp olive oil over medium heat and saute the onion and carrots for a few minutes. I sprinkle in some kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper too. Throw in the garlic and saute for another minute. I like to turn up the heat to medium high to get the fond/caramelization at the bottom of the vessel, just be careful that it doesn't burn. Pour in 2.5 quarts of cold tap water and scrape off the fond at the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. This may result in a satisfactory broth on its own for you, but you can add the veggie base if you want. Turn up the heat to high to get the broth to boil, then toss in the potatoes. Turn heat back down to medium to maintain boil. When the potatoes are tender, go to town on them with a masher, then add the kale. When the kale is like 2/3 done I add the cannellini beans and keep cooking until the kale and beans are done. I love this recipe bc it's easy to shop for, easy to make, filling (you can add leftover rice to make it even more filling), budget-friendly, and nutritious. You can freeze it too. I'd love to show you how it's done and we can enjoy soup together lmao White rice + broccoli + protein Most of the time I'll use canned sardines or ground turkey or pork chops or chicken breast/thigh, but I've used tofu before.

NO, I REFUSE TO TOUCH THE STUFF

I don’t want to let machines think for me at all, but especially with how many LLMs are so consistently wrong about what they say and give such bad output! Why are people putting their faith in something that says 2+2 is 5 and will fight you when you try to tell it it’s wrong?

TAKE OUT THAT OLD INSTRUMENT AGAIN

my emboucher could only last ~20 minutes and my breath support and articulation aren’t quite there anymore, but I still love the sound of my clarinet and both my kitten (who was very intrigued) and I are glad I opened up my case again this afternoon

BAR TRIVIA AND KARAOKE

TLDR: Get out of your apartment, get a cheap drink *if you want*, and meet people in your community through a structured activity!!! A perfect recipe for getting out of your comfort zone while not being too overwhelmed about it! *Disclaimer: If you’re sober but still enjoy the vibe and are comfortable being around booze, I swear to you I would never notice if you had a NA bev or never drank anything and I don’t think anyone else would either, nor would they care if they did catch on* But I‘ve been doing bar trivia for almost 2 years now and it’s SO much fun, especially when you have a good host and you’re in a group that cares enough to try but not enough to get too hung up on getting things wrong. We mostly yap between questions/rounds and the hosts have always loved us. We‘ve moved around because places have closed and/or our schedules changed and we needed a different night of the week. But going to different places with different vibes has helped with my social anxiety SO much like I’m much more confident with interacting with different types of people now and much less worried that they’re not going to like me. Sometimes other trivia teams haven’t liked us but we’ve learned to be like “so what?” and just keep vibing bc we’re not hurting anyone. And when we get questions that feel tailor-made for us, like when it has to do with our homestates or hometowns (we’re all transplants) or with our special interests, we get a high we can ride the rest of the week. And KARAOKE is the BEST! You get to do whatever song you want, and it is more fun to do one that gets the crowd going, but also if I wanna do a country song I’m nostalgic for but no one else knows, screw y’all I’m gonna enjoy my 3 minutes and give you a show. Also, there’s some regulars but also always some wildcards which keeps it interesting, like last week a huge NJ dude who may have been a mobster and who put his name down as Bonesaw, pulled me up to two-step with him to an old country song. Where else are you gonna get that sort of experience? And these wildcards can surprise you, like when these drunk cishet sorority girls pulled my friend (who’s a trans woman) up to sing man I feel like a woman with them a couple months ago! Highlight of the night 1000000%
