The term is meal prep

I live alone and I think this is a great idea

My demented father cannot even use the bathroom correctly. He will not help me.

I’ve been eating the same two-pound portion of taco meat for the past four days. Usually in soft-shell tacos, but sometimes in frittatas. The trick is to be dead inside.

I’m trying to not do that, because I always forget that I’ll need the things I’ve just washed again.

I do that, but the more complicated the meal, the less down time there is, and the more stuff there is you can't clean up until the end.

Also, if you use serving dishes, rather than just serve out of the pot / pan, that's another thing to clean. It's true that cleaning a pot or pan is normally a bit harder than a serving dish. But, IMO the extra bit to clean means it's not worth it.

It is a bit of a triumph when the only thing to clean after dinner is a single pot or pan though. And, pro-tip, you can make the pans easier to clean after dinner if you dump a bit of water in them as you're sitting down to eat. Even 30 minutes is enough to turn the remains of a delicious sauce into sludge at the bottom of the pan. But, soaking while you eat makes it super quick to scrape it out afterwards.

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

Turns beef into beef flavored chicken, I love it.

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

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.

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

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
