My iconic recipe: All My Favorite Shit, Shoved In A Pot Together
Dice up a white onion, sautee in butter until lightly brown. Drain one can each of black beans, diced tomatoes, and corn. Cook til whenever. Salt, red pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
Sometimes I save some black bean juice, mix it with corn starch to thicken it up, and stir it back in, and eat the whole thing over brown rice.
Alternatively: ice cream. Butter pecan in a waffle cone.
The vegan Buffalo chikn wings.
Noodle soup. I know it’s a cliche but there is just something about eating it piping hot with a nice ceramic spoon.
Fruit snacks if I want something sweet.
Chicken nuggets and tater tots if I want salty and savory
Anything spicy with rice 😌
Fluffy white rice 😋
Basmati is the best!!
Chicken fingers and fries. Or ice cream if I want something sweet.
Bread. If I wake up and I’m having a bad day, I buy a fresh-baked loaf of bread and eat it. That’s my meal for the day. It’s quite fantastic. Whoever invented bread in Mesopotamia or Egypt or wherever deserves the god-kingship they doubtlessly acquired for it.

Grilled cheese + tomato soup
I love tomato soup, but I barely have any chance to eat it - the folks here outright despise it, they call it “soggy sauce”.
The townsfolk are stopping you from eating tomato soup?
By “folks” I mean my family. There are a few dishes that I can only prepare for myself, as I know that they won’t eat; tomato soup is one of them. (Alongside beet soup, pickled eggs, onigiri [unless my nephew is here, he loves onigiri too], curry sauce for sausages…).
Grilled ham & cheese toasties, 15m fresh tomato soup pre-cut kit from the supermarket
Kebab is kind of the signature food for when I want to just be with myself lol
Fen zheng rou. Unless it’s really rough in which case it’s Chongqing style hot pot.
Chicken livers, fried eggs, and toasted bread. I don’t eat this combo often as it’s a caloric bomb, but it’s great when I’m really stressed.
For this kind of situation I’m an ice-cream guy
chippies! i love the cheddar wavy chips so much.
