Today I cooked chicken mixed in salsa, a little hot sauce and crushed tomatoes, then I shredded the chicken in the crock pot a bit and put it in flour tortillas, added shredded cheese and sour cream to make chicken tacos.

Tomorrow I am going to take six big potatoes, stab them several times with a big ass fork, cut a slice out and wrap them in foil and cook them in the oven for about an hour, then add butter, bacon bits, chives in the cut I made. The heat kept in the foil will melt the butter and cheese if you wrap it back up and wait a few moments. Then add sour cream.

Thursday I'm just going to cook some lean hamburger, add Italian spices and a little olive oil in the pan, cook the pasta separately then when both are done, mix them together with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese.

Friday I'll probably cut up a big steak shove the steak bits in an olive oiled pan, cook the meat until it's brown then add broccoli and cauliflower and cashews to cook along with it. Add soy sauce and stir fry sauce. Cook the Basmati rice separately. Mix the stuff together when both are done.

Saturday I'll just cook another chicken in barbecue sauce and cook some corn with butter.

Anyway, good luck on your quest to get buff.

This actually sounds kind of useful. Particularly since people finding themselves to be consuming less calories than they think they do seems to be a common theme recently, and it may be something I'm a victim of. I just so happen to treat my stomach like a garbage disposal whenever the daily vitamin needs seem to be filled, and I'm still struggling to keep myself at that 8% body fat minimum that gym teachers keep telling me about. Maybe I'll start writing down some shit if I ever figure out how many calories are in the shit I throw together in the kitchen. Hopefully one day I'll have enough spare lard that my body won't eat any muscles I manage to develop.

Is there a section on mushrooms and onions? I keep slicing them up, throwing tons of the stuff in a pan, sautéing them, and then just throwing them in sandwhiches, over the tops of waffles, inside ravioli, mixed in with Ramen cups, and whatever other meal I can shove them into, then just continually hope that they have enough vegetable grease or whatever that I'll have calories to spare. Honestly I'm wondering if I'm better off just using syrup and barbecue sauce instead.

If phones have no idea what to do with WHFoods, then I'm probably going to be in the same boat now that I don't have the chrome book anymore.

I dunno, it's fairly standard olive oil. Tasteless, smells good on popcorn, has bright yellow woodcarvings of European landscapes on the label. I don't remember the exact stats of the stuff.

I'm pretty sure it's less that my saliva would burn firewood and more that I probably have some sort of compulsive unintentional anorexia. Like, "Lunch? Well, shit, sure, but right now I REALLY wanna get some work done on this tabletop setting, I'll make lunch later." and then I'll end up just devouring literal pounds of food for dinner.

Then again, it still doesn't explain all the snack foods and salads I just casually eat while I do things and they still have seemingly no effect. If I lived nearer to Taco Bell or something, maybe I'd be that much closer to becoming a real boy. Oh, fuck, Taco Bell. BRB, now I want to make mushroom-onion Quesadillas because that sounds fucking glorious.

A sausage, egg and cheese taco for lunch? 

You disgust me.

Fuck, that's even worse.

Americans have a weird use of biscuit, so I don't know if that's OK.

That's what biscuit means in American English!? What do you call these then? -----> Legit Biscuits

Sweet biscuit → cookie in US English.

Yeah, AzBaz is dead on here. Those are biscuits. If you're lucky, you get the chocolate Digestive biscuits. But what Mizal is showing is objectively not biscuits.

You're from the motherland then too, squire? Chocolate Hobnobs all the way.

Edit: Nevermind, I just remembered your storygames had US spelling in them. *Mad World plays in background*

What you call biscuits are spoken of in hushed whispers over here. For that abomination, we have no name. 

(Idk, the top one looks like what's called a breakfast muffin and the bottom one is a wrap by the look of it. They actually look pretty tasty.)

Yeah, your 'chips' are a common source of outrage on the delicate shores of the UK, as well as the weather (if you're above 45 and hate your life and want other people to hate you). Another thing some people don't like is how you use 'British' and 'English' interchangeably. I say who gives a shit? 

E in response to E: Crappy English Food <--- these are what we call bread rolls. Also, that's weird. Tomato puree is pretty common here if you cba to order a pizza and want to make your own.

The 5 star rating agrees. These actually look like scones, The Most British Thing Literally Ever Since The Fucking Tophat.

Edit: I guess two different cultures are bound to come up with similar foods, or maybe we stole them off you or vice versa who knows.

Haha, jelly's another one. You call this 'Jello', right?

That sounds delicious. Jalapenos are good with most things.

There's also heavy rivalry between people who pronounce it (phonetically) 'sc-own' and 'sc-on'. It's probably sparked a few civil wars sometime in the past. 

On behalf of we people, pudding is just all dessert. In my mind, it feels more like it's describing stuff like cake with hot custard, though I might just be biased from my days of getting through a cold winter's night after a hard day of sweepin' chimneys gov'na.

This is a cover up. We actually just eat pudding all day, everyday. Enough pudding is never enough. We cannot be sated. Hide your pudding, and hide it well, petty Americans. We are coming...

Yeah, that's a pudding. All desserts are welcome under the umbrella term 'pudding' in the UK, and even some deserts to maintain biodiversity and encourage hardcore ecotourism. It's all pudding man, why put a label on it? 

Ah, you'd be wrong to think that answers your question. I actually fall neatly into the elitist snob archetype (anyone south of Stockport is by default and you have to work in the mines (or, as they say, "t'pits") for 5 years to rid yourself of the title if you're really that desperate to be poor and scummy). I just enjoy dressing up as a variety of ragamuffins in my spare time and seeing how the other half live, you know? I'm sure I'll get bored soon enough and go back to burning money in front of crippled beggars as per usual. God, being human is hard:/

I'll stick to my nicey nicey vanilla memes; I don't want to know what that is. Good ol' Harambe never caused PTSD.

I’m guessing you’re English if you don’t care if English and British are used interchangeably.

Scottish and the northern Irish people (As opposed to the southern white trash Irish) seem to get a lot more irritated if you call them British. Get even madder if you call them English.

Yeah, though there's some Welsh mixed in there and a dash of Canadian to mix it up for some reason (crazy night with a moose and a sheep somewhere down the heritage line is my best guess).

There's quite a lot of tension between Ireland and England especially, though you get it in the Highlands and Wales too. It's mainly just old people bearing grudges over Thatcher's experimentation with taxes on Scotland and stuff even dating back to people like Cromwell, and old people over here just not liking anyone not English since WW2. Hence, *shudder*, Brexit.

Fuck off, Brit. We still remember your Black and Tans, and we are not pleased.

Ah yes. To be fair, I am personally responsible for all of the sins of my people. Excuse me while I go top myself! Irish then? 

Damn right Irish, born to one of the greatest countries on Earth!

Both of those, and you, disgust me.

Sorry for shitposting you mizal

Oof, mangonada. I love the fruity part but the whole tamarind thing always screws me up. Like, I don't want that stuff on my goods! Although tamarind soda is to die for.

The other day I waited for my Super White™ step-father to leave and I booted up the stove and threw a pan on that sucker. I splashed in some olive oil and cooked up a ton of spinach, sausage slices, bell peppers, mushrooms and zucchini while jamming to whatever K-Pop my sister was blasting (I think it was Ladies Code albumn? I dunno these things). Then, I tried my hardest not to burn my cous cous and mixed that and everything previously mentioned together. I plopped on the couch with a big bowl of the stuff and ate it with my sis while watching Area 88 on the praystation (Kazuma has beautiful, sad hair). Absolute heaven. Later, we were yelled at for the disappearance of our only zucchini.

To be honest I've been super worried 'cos I'm preparing to room with a friend before I head off to Nerd School and we'll be really poor. Like, I'm used to it and all, but when I close my eyes and picture what I'll be eating for the next two years, all I get Nissin Instant ramen. I can deal with it, but I dunno if my body can, so now i'm trying to come up with cheap meal ideas that won't clog our hearts.

Preparing to room with a friend? How old are you?

Just graduated highschool, been saving up money since the dawn of time (although I've had to pitch in for groceries/rent/whatev so that's sucked my savings a bit). The commute to school is pretty bad and moving out would be best for me anyways, even if my frail body collapses from lack of nourishment.

Shit, you are far older than I thought you were.

Do I sound like a 12-year-old boy?

I thought 11 yr old girl.

Hang on, you are a girl, right?

Yep yep. 

I think a while back everyone thought I was guy 'cos of my Lucas profile pic (WALL STAPLES!)

Seriously, do not shop at Walmart for food, it's fucking gross. At least go to a proper grocery store.

Buying store brand can be hit or miss. Yeah it's usually cheaper by a few cents, and sometimes the quality is just as good (Like cereal for example), but sometimes it really sucks.

Bought store brand pasta once thinking there wasn't going to be much difference because it's fucking pasta right? But there was, there was a lot of difference. Ugh.

Dude, like, thank you so much. That's super helpful. I'm just some confused, sorta brown youth, wondering what the heck everything costs, but I do believe a crockpot is in order. And I never knew cous cous was a fancy dish! I grew up with tajine dinners, hot and homey with whatever we had around. 

I'll actually be living really close to a farmers market, so I'll be sure to check out there. I don't have any beef with Walmart, except for its disturbing ambiance. I dunno what it is with the place! Maybe it's the lack of windows.
