i dont cook either. i eat whole food without extra shit. baked chicken. beans and rice. cereal. fruit and vegetables. fish. eggs. some beef every few weeks. it's not very hard. it is boring but that's fine with me.

gets boring but what can you do? i've given easy stuff like chicken breasts and steaks and fish a shot but it's just not worth the effort when cooking for one, imo.
i dont see how chicken breast is hard. i have a medium sized toaster oven and i can make about three servings at a time. bam, three meals, very little cleanup, not expensive... i got chicken breast for .99/lb last week, made most of it, took 5 days to eat it all and then made the rest and i'm almost out. cooking it fresh every day is a pain in the ass but you really don't need to

steak = george foreman grill

pork = roast in oven with some water to make it not dry out

fish, oven

protein is easy. fish, chicken, eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, beans

i find that my diet lacks fat more than anything. also, no excessive salt

almonds are good for fat/protein but they are expensive and i refuse to pay that much. next time i get a good deal i'm going to stock up.

i think i might get some turkey for burgers tomorrow.

The cooks of netphoria need to compile a recipe book of favourite recipes. Then people who don't cook would have things to try out that obviously aren't too hard because other brain damaged netphorians are able to master them after all, and established cooks could pick up a few new dishes.

Lol I said those things were easy. It's more of a time thing. If it takes me longer to prepare than to eat I find it's not worth it. And I eat quickly.

I made some tacos last night -- those can be easy.

And delicious.

Of course he can, he's a exceptional chef. His hard living days haven't ever gotten in the way of his passion.

Brunch is relatively new. It started in the mid 1980s so it's a trend in and of itself. It'll probably go away as fast as it started.

Also that dinner sounds excellent!

or were you joking

either way

Quote:
Instead of England's early Sunday dinner, a postchurch ordeal of heavy meats and savory pies, why not a new meal, served around noon, that starts with tea or coffee, marmalade and other breakfast fixtures before moving along to the heavier fare? By eliminating the need to get up early on Sunday, brunch would make life brighter for Saturday-night carousers. It would promote human happiness in other ways as well. Brunch is cheerful, sociable and inciting. It is talk-compelling. It puts you in a good temper, it makes you satisfied with yourself and your fellow beings, it sweeps away the worries and cobwebs of the week.
- Guy Beringer, "Brunch: A Plea," Hunter's Weekly, 1895[4]
totally accurate.

Because I've eaten meals prepared by him countless times. And yes he says he's a cook.

he hasn't worked at les halles in about a decade, if not more

and by his own account he was never a celebrity chef

he gained notoriety for Kitchen Confidential, not anything he did in the kitchen or any restaurant he designed the food for

executive at les halles but even according to him that just meant he ran the place on day to days, doing inventory, expo and occasionally helping people out of the weeds

However well he can cook, it's his ability to enjoy food that I'm calling into question. I mean he hates brunch...how much could he enjoy it even if he liked it, is what I'm saying. Seems to me his mouth must be about as dead and used up as the rest of him looks.

When he worked at Les Halles, we'd eat there every time we were in NYC (which was usually twice a year). He was here speaking a few months ago and cooked before for a sponsor gig.

He downplays his role at LH, but clearly he was the executive chef for a reason. Of course now he isn't focused in cooking as much as storytelling.

His hatred if brunch has more to do with the premise than the food itself, vixnix.
