This week, Aspiring One Star Michelin Chef Ryan (but still hopeless bachelor cook Ry) met One Day One-Star General To-Be Uyehara (but still hapless butterbar LT. U). The resulting culinary explosion (or lack thereof) did not create a pretty culinary sight. Nor were these matters helped by a heavy dose of Bachelor Dude Who Was Too Lazy To Buy Food This Weekend and New LT Who Also Was Too Tired to Work This Weekend and Is Now Swamped With Work.
What does this all add up to? A bare, bare cupboard and a belly full of junk food. I have vegetables in my fridge and that is about it. I have two cans of soup I can heat up. Some eggs. My rice cooker is full of cracked, dried out rice because I've been too lazy to wash it. Also, I have like one piece of chicken left. I've got one very eclectic, protein heavy dinner left.
This week, so far:
Breakfast, yesterday: White rice, tuna, scrambled eggs.
Lunch: CAC (restaurant)
Dinner: CAC
Breakfast (today): CAC
Lunch: Food court
Dinner: Pizza from Bowling Alley.
There's a constant battle between what I want to do, my priorities, and well, work. I want to cook and I want to buy food but sometimes, I just get tired and lazy and I don't end up going to the commissary. When I come back from work, I won't say how late, but often late, I don't want to cook, I want to work out and then chill on the computer and go to bed.
I feel like a working mom. And I'm my own kid. Maybe I should hire a babysitter.
The End.
Wow. The thought of eating rice, tuna, and eggs never would have entered my mind...but then again, I never ate eggs and beans until I realized how amazing it is.
ReplyDeleteA thought: cook a meal for four, then refrigerate the leftovers for additional days - saves on cooking time, but you still get good food!
