Every time I put cheese on a food, I know a bald eagle crows proudly somewhere.

My country has a lot to be ashamed of, but we damn well will put cheese in a dish in an unexpected/unreasonable/unnecessary way, and it will somehow still taste good.

Can't tell if US, Japan, or Korean.

[–] Aqarius 13 points 1 day ago

Or Italy. Though, to be fair, parmigiano dies improve most things.

Bald eagles chirp. (Skip to 40 seconds, it makes no sound until then)

I do this for spicy noodle soups, like ramen, where the oil in the broth often separates. Just a sprinkling of shredded cheddar emulsifies it and makes it extra hearty 🤌

Cheese in ramen?

Dude get help :p

I heard about people doing this and tried it and it just fucked my shit up. I even continued to try it a few more times after that failure, and couldn't get it to make sense to me. I probably need someone to show me I guess.

You put that on top of Korean army stew. That's a dish originated from Western food rations. Terrible and really good at the same time.

A friend of mine is like this. Sends me a picture of a decent looking steak, alone on a plate, captioned "Dinner looking good!"

Hug that poor bastard, cooking what they want in a simple, quick, and cheap way. So sad. \s

[–] weeeeum 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Add a side of sauted veggies and a slice of buttered toast and that's all you'd need

[–] scutiger 1 points 23 hours ago

Well yeah, like the OP, the stuff that makes the meal interesting is missing. Like eating pasta without sauce, or a bowl of broth with nothing else in it.

[–] BrokenGlepnir 12 points 1 day ago

It may be salt is missing. I've also put it in a sandwich with either spicy mustard or hummus

Yesterday for dinner, I microwaved some red Leicester cheese on a plate, and then I scooped it onto a tortilla. I feel this image

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why not microwave it on the tortilla?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because I was originally planning on just having the plate of cheese until I discovered there were a couple of leftover tortillas which would make the "meal" marginally less miserable.

Though I think that melting it on the tortilla wouldn't have worked as well: the melted cheese had a wee layer of oil which I poured off onto a paper towel; also, to melt the cheese, I had to do it in a few short blasts, rearranging/"stirring" the cheese each time. I think that had I done this on the tortilla, it would have become a soggy mess.

Your question is a good one though, and I hadn't considered it until I read your comment.

For whatever it's worth, I always think of cheese plates as being pretty fancy.

DAE get really hungry, but at the same time you just don't want to eat? Not that you don't want to eat what you have, you just don't want to eat anything despite your stomach growling and hurting because it's been almost a full day without anything to eat?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

I'm the other way. I'm not hungry but I just want to eat

[–] Aqarius 4 points 1 day ago

Many a day ends with sliced cheese at 11pm.

My experience living alone is just rice from a rice cooker and/or whatever I feel like throwing in the air fryer or the steamer.

It's not too bad and you get a decent variety. Steamed foods can be veggies, dumplings, etc. Air fryer for salmon, chicken, potatoes, etc.

Dont have to manage any of it other than setting a timer for when its done.

Every so often I throw together soup which is usually just tossing a lot of ingredients into a pot. That's like the most effort I really put on a daily basis.

"Can't" be hard, or "can" be hard? Seems like the second option is more natural for that sentence.

[–] DarkCloud 1 points 1 day ago

"doesn't have to be hard" is another option.

How did you get in my kitchen?
