While this is hardly cooking yesterday I concocted this meal:
  • pre packaged chicken bone broth
  • a quantity of bachan's japanese barbecue sauce
  • a package of instant ramen
  • leftover fried tofu chopped into squares
  • shichimi togarashi
I have tried to use regular type soup broths for ramen before and found them not flavorful enough – there is a reason ramen broths are usually so salty. The Bachan's made a huge difference. It hadn't occurred to me to add it to soup before but there's nothing in it that doesn't work there.

The tofu is relevant to the meal prep thing – you can fry up thin pieces of tofu and have them for later, as a side dish, in sandwiches, topping for ramen...

I am in the middle of what I like to call Cereal Purgatory. About once a year I purchase a box of cereal and a half gallon of milk at the same time. I don't really use milk for anything else, so when I run out of cereal before milk, I have to buy more cereal. If I run out of milk, but have cereal left, I have to buy more milk. I will keep doing this until I'm able to empty them both in a single bowl - then I will be free.

anything is cooking with enough prep - this actually sounds pretty amazing; keeping this for a rainy day

at that moment you will receive Gnostic Cereal Insight and you will realize this universe is nothing more than bits of cold cereal soggy with the flavor of old galaxy dust all awaiting to be tip slurped by god

Home cooked food slaps but cooking is such a time-consuming endeavor 😭 It doesn't help that I like to cook fairly high effort dishes (anybody else have a copy of The Food Lab?). I'm trying to cook in bulk and actually freeze stuff for future meals, historically I don't use my freezer much.
