Hello.
My microwave died in spectacular fashion today. It was the lifeblood of my kitchen. I’ve had it so long I’ve forgotten how to cook without one. And I can’t afford to buy a new one. I was going to post in eatcheapandhealthy but that place looks as dead as my microwave. I don’t know what I’m going to do.
Jamie Oliver often went on about cheap recipes… that required 30 ingredients and a bunch of equipment I don’t have. These are not helpful. I need recipes that are cheap to shop for, cheap on electricity usage, easy to prepare with limited equipment, and it would be a bonus if they are healthy and tasty. I know I’m being picky, but I don’t have much to work with.
I figured this would be the community to ask because to cook well, you need to know stuff that a bad cook wouldn’t know. I hope I can get a few useful ideas. Thanks.
This comment is literally you judging though
Please explain how I’m judging? What did I say specifically?
The puke face and the comment about steak come across as judging those choices as gross (not that I think you’re wrong in that judgement, maybe worded a bit harsh in a thread with someone asking for help though)
I can consider something is gross without judging them for eating it… People make meat cakes out of mosquitos and fry them on hot stones and eat that as food. Crickets, beetles, stuff like that. That’s fucking nasty as shit to me 🤢🤮🤮, but I don’t judge, because perhaps it’s what’s available. Or because they like it. You never know what situation OP is in.
I hoped, for their sake if they are like me taste wise (didn’t think I’d have to be explicit about this), that they didn’t make microwave steak. Me personally? I don’t give a shit what OP eats. I’m not eating their dinners. But for their sake, I hoped.
I even tried to end it on a positive…? 🤷♂️
All good? 👍
