    Meals in countries that take food seriously last longer and are meant to be enjoyed with family and friends. Its just our shitty culture that causes this problem.

      What do you mean by countries that take food seriously? I lived in a few different countries (never in the US) and can’t really picture that

        If food is viewed and enjoyed as an experience rather than a necessity as a culture, I think it leads to huge shifts in so many aspects of daily living.

        I dont mean EVERY meal but getting together with neighbors, family, friends ect. is more common in places like Italy for example.

    Weekly meal prep. Yeah it means repeated meals, but you can switch it up every week. It’s the only way I get by. Plus I feed 5-6 people. So I’m not making one meal at a time, I’m making twenty or thirty.

    Lucky you! I’ve got a simple solution, only use single use plastic, then all you have to do is just put a big plastic bag over your table and when you’re done eating you just pick up the bag, close it all up and throw it away and that way you just leave the problem to your grandchildren and they’ll die from climate change.

        Hmm… Maybe after dinner, take a walk and ask random strangers to do your dishes. 😆

    My solution is just to act like I’m cooking for 12 people, and have leftovers for the rest of the week.

    So true! I am trying to cook one pot or bake recipes, dump it all and forget about it. It is the only way not to go insane with 1000 pots and dishes to clean.

    Clean as you go and there is very little left to be done after the meal.

      Remember, you are dealing with people that never cook, and for some reason think they know what they’re talking about.

    OK, tell me what in the world you are cooking that takes two hours. And putting something in the oven for an hour is not really any work, is it?

      You underestimate how bad we can be at cooking. It takes me like an hour just to peal and chop up ingredients for even a simple dish like mashed potatoes or stir fry.

      For real, folks need to watch more Jamie Oliver. Condense your pans and ingredient lists, make sauce for a few days, use parchment paper, etc

    How old is this woman, and where does her hairline start? Is she in her 30s or 60s? Is her hair blonde or white?

      Old, near the top, but it still flows down. Dunno exact age. Blonde, but not everyone loses hair color.
