Better LPT: Make your own food. It’s cheaper, often healthier and you don’t need to worry about guys like this messing with your food.

Seriously, a ball of pizza dough is like $1 and sauce and cheese and toppings could be around $10. And you can make multiple pizzas

Not everyone has the energy or knowledge to cook food worth eating.

Can still pick up your own restaurant food, though. It's called takeout for a reason.

Edible doesn't mean tasty. Sometimes it's a pile of mush that you can only choke down enough to quell stomach rumbling. Most of it goes to compost, which isn't the best use of resources.

That said, I only order delivery when I'm too sick to cook nor drive but the kids still need to be fooded. Otherwise I'll heat something at home or pick up my own damn carryout.

  • Brown 1lb sausage.
  • Add 2 tbsp butter and melt.
  • Add heaping 3 tbsp flour.
  • Mix and cook for 3min on med.
  • Add about 3" milk.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring to boil.
  • Add biscuits to oven at 350 for 10 min.
  • Reduce to medium and stir every few minutes.
  • Done in 30 min.

This will be some of the best biscuits and gravy you've ever had. That's a least one solid meal to add to your recipe book.

You want to watch my kids while I do all that prep and stirring?

Considering the cost of babysitting, it would be much cheaper to buy a $10 heat-and-eat from the supermarket.

30 min?

Dont act like you're the only parent out there. I, and pretty much everyone else, manages fine.

If you didn't learn to cook at your mother's knee, it's a skill that has to be learned as an adult. Which makes the mental load of it much higher. Every meal takes more deliberate effort and is less likely to actually be consumed. Which is discouraging.

Just cook this doesn't require a Freudian analysis.

It's great when you have an oven that works.

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that 99 percent of the people reading this thread have access to a working oven.

I'm also disabled and knock everything over or drop things. In a 4 story home, it gets old cleaning constantly. I'll join you on the limb and guess that the oven is older than you are. So, after setting the microwave on fire, then set the oven on fire with some good, old ,home cookin...I gave up.
