Dude, same. I’m fine cooking a full meal if it’s for other people but for me? Pepperoni pizza rolls and frozen pizza. Maybe cook a real meal once in a blue moon.

[@BouncingTribbles]

Yeah, pretty much every time I've cooked fancy food for myself I used the excuse that I was practicing the recipe. Good excuse, btw

[@ArcHawkeGamesandSkills]

Same here. If it's just me the mystery container and shredded cheese; if it's someone then it's all of the dishes and mixing bowls out.

[@simpledj509chromo7]

Cooking for myself is boring as hell and I'm rarely happy with the food I make. I'm easily the most self-deprecating chef of everyone I know. If even one person asks me for a dish I get so excited and I put everything I have into it. I'm pretty solid in the kitchen and people praise my food so that helps me be not so hard on myself.

I'm a line cook who recently learned of Giri. I can say that I've fallen for her because not only does she take pride in her cooking, she HAS FUN with her cooking. That is the goal. I haven't had fun cooking in 2 years. It's just work now. Stay happy Giri, for those of us who have lost our way.

[@unmemorablehero]

Yeah, I wish I had the joy of cooking still. As soon as I started it as a career, the joy left, and now I basically don’t even like food. Keep on doing what you love Giri.

[@toms7219]

Well, duh you didn't have fun cooking when it's your work. Time limits, efficiency, strictly following all the rules, all that would kill any joy in a task you like to perform.

[@GhengisJohn]

I said as soon as I heard Nerissa's accent "I wonder if she knows how to make tater tot hot dish?" It's a thing I first heard about years ago watching MST3K and have been curious about ever since. Then I saw the mush and heard they were readying the oven and I said "Could it be??" and then she said "We need the tater tots" and I was like "OH MY GOSH". So yes. Nerissa, tater tot hot dish confirmed.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

I didnt even realize she had an accent

[@kylesmith7970]

There's two of them! But on the real Nerissa's midwest tastes are on full display lol. Something better to top it with instead of hashbrowns might be potato croquettes, if Giri ever tries this again.

Hash browns. Tater tots. It's the only way to do it! Though, I'm not sure if you can even get American style tater tots in JP.

[@kylesmith7970]

@@kylesmith7970 Oh my God I forgot what a croquette was. I'm so embarrassed.

[@charliekahn4205]

I come from a family that's only part Midwest, so my first thought was if you have a mandolin, slice the potatoes thinly and layer them on top, so they'll form a crispy top layer for more texture.

[@christopherdark4671]

I get narrisa's point. I can do minimum effort food for myself maybe occasionally do something nice for myself, but if I've got friends coming over then I'm whipping out every technique and skill i have.

Some people just have sensitive mucous membranes. Like I do. My upper spice tolerance is around the level of Spciy McNuggets when McDonald's had them. They're almost too much for me spice-wise. And it's not even "toughness" or whatever, like when someone like me eats something spicy it's not "haha spice challenge funny can't handle" it just hurts, not even burning sensation, but just pain.

[@raidkoast]

My opinion when frying beef like this in a bigger pot. Wait until you boiled of the water that seeps from the ground beef and for the beef to fry a bit. You'll get a distinct change in smell from "boiled" meat to "fried" meat. This is when the meat is done. Then you can add spice, cream or whatever. At first it should always just be onion and beef. Or just beef. For anyone, here's my swedish ground beef sauce recipie. My "childhood" food. 1. 1 kilo of ground beef. Preferably fry this in a pan first then add to a bigger pot where you'll make the sauce/stew. 2. 1-2 medium size onions. "Adjust amount according to taste." Can be fried with the meat otherwise just cook it in same sepperate pan after you're done with the meat. dice FINELY like you should barely notice there's onion in the damn sauce. 3. 5 dl of cream, add a bit of milk after if you want it less thick. The cream is the sauce. Add the cream after minced meat and onions are done frying. 4. 1-4 garlic cloves. "Adjust amount according to taste." Crush and add to sauce later. 5. 5-10 cl of mushroom soy. "Adjust amount according to taste." add to sauce 6. 1 meat/beef bouillon cube add to sauce 7. Add ketchup, black pepper, bellpeper, mushroom and/or salt after what suits your taste. Add a bit, stir and taste until you're satisfied.
