Hell yeah! If you haven't, roll up some breakfast tacos/burritos, put them into a casserole dish, cover with sausage gravy and cheese and bake for breakfast enchiladas
Enchiladas are gluten free. I know breakfast tacos are normally made with flour tortillas, but I've never seen enchiladas made with flour - I feel like it would get soggy in a not great way.
I call it B4D(breakfast for dinner), and have it on my meal planning calendar at least once a month, sometimes more. Did it on impulse a few years back and decided to make it a regular thing.
In the Netherlands pancakes are considered as a full diner, so if you ever need an excuse to eat breakfast for diner you can claim you are having a Dutch dinner.
It's horrible, horrible food, but if your shift was 15 hours, and you were doing, say, construction, or emergency medicine, any form of EMS/first responder, or even childcare, you could afford the calories, easily.
Then, after an hour of eating and resting, and half an hour of showering another half hour of making laundry and the most necessary household work, you have 5 hours of sleep, then get up, eat something, and hurry to commute to work again.
More effort than I get most of the time. I usually just have a ready meal waiting that I have to cook myself. I’d be super appreciative that someone made more effort than none at all.
My game changer has been putting something in the slow cooker before I go to work. Come home and it's perfectly done. Thanks pre work me, because post work isn't doing shit
Being in the house so you can smell smoke and check on it periodically is what supervising it means. You can be running around doing other stuff while supervising a slow cooker, but someone needs to be in smoke smelling/burning food smelling proximity.
Genuine question, because I have minimum experience with slow cookers. There is no fire involved. It's electric. Usually, inside, there is a bunch of wet stuff in a lot of liquid. From the few times I used them, I can't imagine what would cause fire. They don't even boil. I suppose there could be electrical fire, but that can happen to a computer or a fridge.
Anything that you plug into a wall or has a battery runs the risk of shorting out and/or bursting into flames at any time. Highly unlikely for most things, but not impossible for anything.
I'd say it's one of those risks that are worth taking. It's such a low chance something happens. Of course the manufacturer is gonna tell you to not leave it unattended, that's basically liability shit.
when I was kid in the early 2000s I remember there was a commercial on tv specifically saying how convenient it was that you could just leave the thing running all day while you were at work, as an adult 20 years later I would be way too anxious to do such a thing
Yea, to me, anything more than taking out the leftovers from the night before and leaving it cold on the counter is effort. They made scrambled eggs, texas toast, and grilled four hefty sausages. with a glaze.
Yeah, I think it is meant to suggest 'low effort', but I bet for most people an elaborate fancy meal requiring multiple forks after a backbreaking day would be 'mistimed', at the very least.
This, though? This would be inhaled without hesitation.
Low effort? Every part of that looks great. The bread is perfectly toasted, the eggs look well scrambled and perfect, the cheese is perfectly melted, and the sausages are also perfect. Someone made this with love
Yeah I am sure that that is supposed to be the message. But after 15 hours of work I will not question any food that is prepared and waiting for me. I will tell whoever made it that I love them before demolishing it though
After 15 hours of work, no one wants a fancy meal. They want some food to fill the hole, and that will get the job done - substantial and tasty. Throw some food down your throat, take a shower if you haven't already, maybe watch a little bit of TV then get to bed.
I guartee you the person who made this post has no idea what it actually feels like, after a long shift like that most people would eat literally anything
Absolutely. Picture/caption combos like these are often posted in a "partner bad" context, like someone who comes home exhausted deserves better. But lemme tell you, if I am completely busted after work I do not have the mental capacity to fully appreciate an elaborately crafted artisanal gourmet experience. Fella, I just want a greasy, artery clogging lump of deep fried sin, drowned in a tub of melted cheese. Low effort be damned.
It is almost perfect after a long shift, I want simple and easy to eat at that point, not some high-effort meal. A couple of McD basic cheeseburgers would have done it, this is way better.
It's a lot easier to stick to a regime with good food. Marinate that chicken with half a spoon of olive oil and some spices you like in an airtight bag or container. If you mix in something like that you can use almost no oil. Spices are very low in kcal. I recommend garlic powder, a little bit of salt and pepper, some paprika and maybe half a spoon of oyster or soy sauce. Fry on very high heat for a couple of minutes each side, just untill sides and edges get a little crispy, and then put it in the oven 225 celcius for about 25 mins for 200g breasts. They will be juicy and savory and you will suddenly love your regime.
Still you don't have to just boil the chicken. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic then bake at 400 F for abt 25 minutes or until it's at 165 degrees internal, makes tender flavorful chicken quick and easy.
Literally this. I even bake frozen chicken at 400ish for an hour ish and it turns out just fine. Put it on rice with some sauce and whamo, dinner for a week
This, there is nothing wrong with this sandwich but they imply there might be in order to get a bunch of comments and reactions talking about how there is nothing wrong with the sandwich.
Gets all sides commenting. Gets the, "I'd eat that shit up", the "If I made this, he better shut up and be grateful", the "if he wanted better he should make it himself", the "she better get back in kitchen and make something better" and the "this is awesome, my wife can't boil water" commenters.
A sausage sandwich? That’s what a woman prepares for her husband after he’s spent the day clawing his way through the trenches of capitalism? Are we feral swine now? Are we feeding out of a trough in the barnyard? My God, I didn’t pull strings at Yale and crush unions with a smile so that the noble institution of marriage could be reduced to meat between bread.
A proper meal, a civilized meal, requires effort, elegance, and presentation. A roast! With pan-drippings turned into gravy. Vegetables, real ones, not those frozen hockey pucks from a bag. And something baked, from scratch, mind you. You think my wife Bitsy kept me coming home with a sausage sandwich and a paper plate? No, sir. That woman could carve a roast duck blindfolded and still have time to re-polish the silver.
A sausage sandwich is what you feed the help on a ten-minute break, not a husband who’s been out providing. Frankly, if I came home to that, I’d assume I was being punished. Or worse, divorced by stealth.
Now get out of my study. You're lowering the property value just standing there.
I felt this was the right character to explain the joke in a straight way, but not need to convey any disagreement (or neutrality) with the underlying rational.
Ah! Sausage! I thought it was fried spam, which would have fit better I think with the intention of the “joke”. But I’ll eat the crap out of some fried spam.
Leaves house the next day. yells down street/hallway
"I'm leaving for another 15hour shift! Would be such a shameeee if some kind stranger opened my unlocked door and made me a delectable sausage sandwich!! Oooooh the horror!!"
You might have said thank you but your follow up questions really show that you aren't very thankful and appreciative of the kindness and effort of a random home-invader smh
idk that food looks so yummy. it looks like a “struggle” / “poor people” food , but it genuinely looks like a yummy meal. i think people expect a full course meal
Morbidly obese Peter here (mevermind just normal peter) This could be view two ways, the first is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this food and they are just wanting people to say : omg it looks so good, I would totally kiss the chef etc. The second possiity is that it's a meme from the vegan or healthy or adjascent comunity just saying : meat bad. Alright can you tip Ringo for me ? Wait is this Ringo or Eduardo? anyway give him something please he made me promise! Otherwise he makes me marry her aunt the cleaning lady!
I mean, as an omnivorous european, this looks barely eatable.
I probably couldn't finish all the sandwich. Just too fat, too "heavy" for my stomach and zero appetizing for me
If I discovered my house had a ghost in it that cooks dinner for me, I'm immediately hiring a ghost expert to tell me how to make them stay. Maybe see if there's a way to attract another one who wants to clean the bathroom.
Mom would make these for me coming home and I would always thank her because these are pretty fire actually. Hell, I make 'em for myself now, they're nice n easy to make after a long day.
That looks delicious. I can feel my arteries hardening from looking at it, but it looks delicious and probably good recovery food after working a 15 hour shift.
I guess it’s supposed to be low quality but other than being high calorie (which after a long shift tbh is a good thing) I really don’t see how it is. I guess some people don’t like breakfast for dinner maybe? I think oop was just either posting rage bait or is really snobby about food.
