    Every time I put cheese on a food, I know a bald eagle crows proudly somewhere.

    My country has a lot to be ashamed of, but we damn well will put cheese in a dish in an unexpected/unreasonable/unnecessary way, and it will somehow still taste good.

      I do this for spicy noodle soups, like ramen, where the oil in the broth often separates. Just a sprinkling of shredded cheddar emulsifies it and makes it extra hearty 🤌

          I heard about people doing this and tried it and it just fucked my shit up. I even continued to try it a few more times after that failure, and couldn’t get it to make sense to me. I probably need someone to show me I guess.

            You put that on top of Korean army stew. That’s a dish originated from Western food rations. Terrible and really good at the same time.

    A friend of mine is like this. Sends me a picture of a decent looking steak, alone on a plate, captioned “Dinner looking good!”

        Hug that poor bastard, cooking what they want in a simple, quick, and cheap way. So sad. \s

      Add a side of sauted veggies and a slice of buttered toast and that’s all you’d need

        Well yeah, like the OP, the stuff that makes the meal interesting is missing. Like eating pasta without sauce, or a bowl of broth with nothing else in it.

    Yesterday for dinner, I microwaved some red Leicester cheese on a plate, and then I scooped it onto a tortilla. I feel this image

        Because I was originally planning on just having the plate of cheese until I discovered there were a couple of leftover tortillas which would make the “meal” marginally less miserable.

        Though I think that melting it on the tortilla wouldn’t have worked as well: the melted cheese had a wee layer of oil which I poured off onto a paper towel; also, to melt the cheese, I had to do it in a few short blasts, rearranging/“stirring” the cheese each time. I think that had I done this on the tortilla, it would have become a soggy mess.

        Your question is a good one though, and I hadn’t considered it until I read your comment.

    My experience living alone is just rice from a rice cooker and/or whatever I feel like throwing in the air fryer or the steamer.

    It’s not too bad and you get a decent variety. Steamed foods can be veggies, dumplings, etc. Air fryer for salmon, chicken, potatoes, etc.

    Dont have to manage any of it other than setting a timer for when its done.

    Every so often I throw together soup which is usually just tossing a lot of ingredients into a pot. That’s like the most effort I really put on a daily basis.

    “Can’t” be hard, or “can” be hard? Seems like the second option is more natural for that sentence.
