He put pepper on the macaroni, he truly went all-out

    I mean, if it was hand battered and fried and the mac wasn't kraft but actually put together, then it's a pretty nice meal. Add some vegetables.

    I’d guess the breading was hand done. Bit uneven thickness. Mac sauce looks just about perfect.

    Assumed this was Annie’s Mac and Cheese from the color and some random frozen chicken tenders from Costco at first, but the breading looks homemade.

    Nice weeknight meal!

    I do not get people enjoying Annie's.

    I think it’s fine for boxed Mac. What don’t you like about it?

    So is Annie's OK? Is Annie's OK? Is it OK from Annie's?

    It's a play on a line from the song Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson.

    I just don't like it. I don't think it tastes especially good.

    If the cheese and meat is good, then this is a really nice dinner. Add a simple salad to that and its perfect.

    Can I come to yours for dinner?

    Fun fact: consuming coca leaves (from which cocaine is made) is legal in some Latin American countries. It helps with nausea.

    Is the natural concentration pretty high? This made me think of poppy seeds

    Not really, you gotta chew a lot or drink a lot of tea to feel anything and then it’s more like drinking a few cups of coffee

    It should be legal everywhere. It's only dangerous in refined form. Nobody would snort pure caffeine cause you would literally just die. But in its natural concentration it's not that harmful and can even have beneficial effects in moderation. Coca leaves are the same way honestly.

    We don’t have Coke, is Pepsi okay?

    Aside from the lack of veggies, I fail to see the issue here.

    This looks amazing though

    That breaded fried... meat? chimken? something?- looks fantastic actually, that came out really good. This plate should be really tasty! I would personally at minimum add some mud/swamp native veggies like probably some yellow/white onion finely chopped slowly glazed? I get all my veggies from dinner and sadly, this plate will not supply me with my 200g minimum.

    Agreed. This plate looks great but it could use some roasted broccoli or sprouts, or sauteed green beans or something. Eat your greens!

    I would probably go with steamed spinach.

    So, how many years have you been married to your husband?

    First time I ate over at my husband's, he gave me an entire rib eye and nothing else. This is when I learned about boy dinner.

    I once saw a guy eat an entire pound of ground beef. Just some pan fried ground beef with salt and pepper. Nothing else, just pure boy kibble

    I watched my body building friend eat rice, chicken, and hot sauce. Every day for years. Joy was not part of the equation.

    When I went away to college, my mom would mail me cooked ground beef.

    Did she have it refrigerated & sent with ice packs? If not, eew, major health code violation & I assume you didn't die of worms since you're here to tell a story about how thoughtful your mom is.

    Yes, ice packs and one giant zip lock of 4 pounds of meat. I don't really know why she did it, I had a job and money. I did eat it and it was nice though. Poured it into a bowl and microwaved it.

    Are you able to find out now...? I'm still baffled.

    I can't just ask no, i dont want to unintentionally make her feel bad about herself.

    I don't know her, I'll ask and risk her unintentionally feeling bad about herself!

    But seriously, that's your choice. I would just want to know in your shoes. Hell, you used it and appreciated it, start with that! "Hey mom, I heard that parents these days consider kids out of sight/out of mind and basically cut-off when they leave the house, even for college! I know you kept me fed when I wasn't living at home... Thanks for that!"

    Me SO and I Cook fairly often and maybe once every year or two we will go through a spurt where we primarily only eat one thing. We don't really discuss it, just naturally we get in a rutt where we both don't want to cook and gravitate to who ever comes up with the best boy/girl dinner and lock in on that. Instead of dinner it becomes whatever cute nick name we give it. Kind of like how people call chipotle slopbowls we had a spinich lunch meat salad we just called turkey bowl.

    We ate only ham on bread with swiss for nearly a month, charcuterie for a few weeks, a lunch meat spinach salad with olive garden dressing for nearly a month. Then we get bored or it or we start feeling like we need actual nutrition.

    Its weird because we normally enjoy cooking and making nice food that takes time and effort, then out of no where its like your brain breaks and you just want the least ingredients to be considered a meal.

    Damn, if you don't want it, send it my way. Mac n cheese is my ultimate comfort food.

    I hate when I see a video going "here is my go-to lazy meal for when I'm totally beat" and the first thing they do is start chopping an onion.

    A lazy meal is a bag of beige crap from the freezer, dumped into an oven tray and left for 20 minutes on gas mark 8. If it's more effort than that, you can stick it.

    it's like when someone uploads a video of "cheap diy project" and half the materials is a couple hundred dollars of stuff they already own from previous projects. or "cheap optiplex gaming pc" and the gpu is a rtx 3090 nvidia gave them for free for being a tech youtuber.

    I buy frozen chopped onions and pepper and onion mix because I fucking hate chopping. Admittedly, the peppers aren't as good vs fresh, but I will deal with subpar peppers to not have to chop anything. I will say, one annoying thing is fewer and fewer grocery stores stock frozen chopped onions, likely due to lower margins because they are usually dirt cheap, like $1/ bag.

    If you get used to cooking chopping an onion isn't work.
