        It’s very true that all of a sudden you wake up and crave just butter on toast with black coffee, and then that’s just like, the best breakfast for years after that. Oh my god I’m becoming my parents

    I spent a couple years living off homemade pizzas because I was working 7 12-hour days a week and it was the only thing that really fit in my schedule.

    Get home, turn on shower, pull out premade pizza crust, slather it with sauce, dump a pound of cheese on it, throw some pepperoni on it, toss in still-preheating oven, jump in shower, hop out and pizza is done.

    If I could go back in time, absolutely not

    Everywhere I’ve worked I’ve had a lunch, so one place it was one set of items, another place another set …

    I have a cheese problem. Not sure if it counts as being stuck on it as it has been my entire life. I will eat cheese with peanut butter. Peanut butter Mac in cheese 🤤

        I have always wanted to try Chicago (and Detroit) style. Unfortunately the one time I was in Chicago, my Amtrak layover wasn’t long enough to find that many options and I ended up at some vegan place a few blocks away.

          i was driving through arizona once and out of the corner of my eye i caught a ‘giordanos’ sign at a mall… i couldnt believe it. it turns out the original operators from paris, il (chicago) opened one in paris, az. so weird.

          keep your eye out!

    I get stuck on foods too but it’s usually something I cook. I keep cooking until I get the recipe down, then I get sick of it after awhile and move on.

    I’ve also got a few staples: breakfast burritos (tofu scramble + homemade fake meat or soy chorizo), chili, pizza with imported tipo 00 flour, stir fry, etc. I love spicy foods so especially with the stir fry I add chili oil to kick it up several levels and then something repetitive and boring a lot more complex.

    That’s a lot of egg rolls? 4 a day? I mean I love queso but I will admit I go get a fountain Diet Pepsi at Leary once a day.

    I’ve given up and have been eating yfood (meal in powder form, EU soylent equivalent) for the last 9 months.

    The better option amongst many bad options, is how I rationalize my choice.

      Autistic fella who’s very texture sensitive here. Why have I never considered that myself? That sounds heaps handy for giving me healthier meal choices.

        Give it a try. There’s different brands. I learned that I quite prefer those with milk based protein, and dislike those with pea based protein.

    Boring grocery store Top Ramen. I add loads of vegetables, and only use half the flavor pack. I’ve got it down to a science.

    That’s approximately 438 grams of protein. Egg rolls sure are an eggcellent source of protein!

    I’m currently stuck on eating bags of raw tagliatelle, picking apart and eating some as I’m typing this LMAO
