I’m too lazy to cook most nights, so I’m tempted to eat junk. In an effort to eat healthier, I’ve been experimenting with a food delivery place. They make microwaveable meals kind of like frozen dinners, but not frozen – just refrigerated.
The food is good, but it tends to seem the same because it’s all warm and soft. It’s keeping me alive for now, so I guess that’s good. Last night’s selection was herb-crusted chicken with mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes. It was ok.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to bring some variety to it. Last night I tried having pickles on the side. They’re cold and crunchy. It was pretty good. Maybe if I did a salad, that could help, but that’s so much work… shopping for fresh ingredients every couple of days, assembling things, trying to eat it all before it rots… ugh.
If I were rich, I would totally have a chef.
Well, even if it’s mushy and warm, I applaud you for doing it! I have a boy in my class who is a terrible eater. He eats two molecules of food at school and then goes home and raids the snack cabinet (according to his mother), then doesn’t eat dinner. I’m going to fix him.
(Um, sorry for the side rant.)
I think the pickles are a brilliant addition! I like it when I have salad things around – if I pre-chop some of them they are good for a couple of days, but you are right that it is annoying when stuff goes bad.
