Why Chinese restaurants so prominently advertise their "American Breakfast"?

Kill myself

I'd kill Jack if given the opportunity to. It would be based off of one of the 7 deadly sins, but idk which I'd pick
So I worked close to home and would go home for lunch and cook some frozen mixed vegetables by boiling them in water for 4 minutes. Now I have a new job that's not so close to home, but I still want to eat my mixed vegetables.
The office has a microwave. How can I do this? Do I cook them in advance using the normal boiling method, and then put them in the fridge until I take them to work? Or can I just put some frozen ones into a container, take that to work, and microwave them?
Defrost them overnight, take them in a plastic container, nuke covered. You'll perfect the timing after a bit. Put on butter and salt, enjoy perfect steamed vegetables. Microwaving from frozen sounds like unnecessary hassle
>>7401697
Frozen veggies don't come in steam bags where you live?
I do this all the time, fill up a little tupperware container with frozen vegies the night before to dethaw in fridge and just microwave it at work the next day or like a minute with the lid loosely over it so theirs room for the steam to escape, works just like a steam fresh bag.
they opened a chik-fil-a here and it's just got this permanent line stretching into the fucking highway
i swear
suburban white people are so meek when it comes to food
they grow up eating kraft mac n shit
then they go to college and start the countdown to when they're gonna move to seattle/portland
in the meantime they find like 2 restaurants they enjoy eating at
AND THAT'S IT
THEY'RE DONE
and usually one of those places is gonna be chipotle and the other will be cfa or five guys or jimmy john's
>>7401647
>not getting your chicken from popeyes
meek is not the word you were looking for
>>7401647

Tell me the best way to prepare gnocchi.
>>7401214
I can't be wasting my time here. Somebody here knows how to cook.
>>7401289
It's pasta. What the fuck do you want? Sauce recipes? The internet is fucking littered with them.
>>7401299
It's not pasta you dingo.
I'm starving guys just drank free water and ketchup from macdonalds. Does anyone know easy ways to get food?
find apple tree
pluck apples
>>7400775
I need more than just gay ass apples.maybe I'd they were soaked in mountain dew vodka but I don't think I could live off them. Where can I get meat for free?
>>7400760
I go to the store and buy my food. Is this an option for you, famicom?
What is the ultimate jam and why is blackcurrant?
Gooseberry is close second.
Once you go black raspberry you'll never go back
>>7400630
We only have a few small bushes of that in our garden so we usually eat that raw, never thought of making preserves out of it.
I've been seriously loving apricot jam lately.

Shit. Grains are for poor people.

Fuck them, what's wrong with potatoes?
>>7400499
High glycemic index and, compared to true vegetables, somewhat poor micronutrient content per calorie. However, reheated potatoes are a good source of resistant starch which acts as a prebiotic and does not occur in non-starchy vegetables and fruits.
Whenever I think of making something like Bamia, I just go to local Arab restaurant and pay $9.95 and get a big salad, bread, relish tray and the entree (the rice pilaf was perfectly cooked).
Had the leftovers today for breakfast. Why bother making something when it's close and cheap?
>>7400415
Personal satisfaction is a huge factor for dishes like that.
>>7400415
i fucking hate bamia, maybe it's because i grew in an arab family but i think it tastes horrible.

What's all the grocery stores in your area /ck/?
Do you like them?
Do you hate them?
What stores you wish would be in your area?
I don't live in a small town, so I have dozens of grocery stores available to me.
Some of them are very good.
Several HEB locations, one Albertson's, couple of Walmarts. That's pretty much it in terms of stores that are close enough to be convenient.
I like HEB.
I don't care much for Albertsons since most everything tends to be more expensive than HEB. I never shop at Walmart because it's always full of ghetto people and trailer trash, has shit quality produce and meat, never has enough registers open and I just don't agree with how Walmart treats their employees.
Wouldn't mind a closer Whole Foods, the closest one to me is like half...

What would be in your nightmare nachos?
Cold oil previously used to over-fry fish.
More.
Even more.
All of it.
No chips.
>>7402410
Those are pretty nasty looking, but far from traditional nachos.
Black olives will ruin everything for me, though
>>7402429
duh but some fuckwit still considers these nachos
Does /ck/ deal with food processors? I always thought of them as one of those random American appliances (sort of like a dishwasher) but recently have been eating less garbage and figured one could come in handy for meal prep/smoothies.
Favourite brands? Worth the price? Is it better to just chop food the non lazy way?
>>7402306
After cleaning, I don't think much time is saved overall. A good blender is a better purchase for smoothies.
>>7402306
Hopping on the food processor thread to ask a question:
I want to make hummus and pesto and such, could I get the cheapest food processor or do I need to spend more money. I seriously just want to make those two things though I guess I could branch out. But I don't want to spend that much on a machine that would essentially be a unitasker for me.
Thanks guys!
Good for chopping large quantities of for. For example, a recipe I like a lot uses 1/2 cup minced garlic. I probably save about 15 minutes doing that in a food processor instead of by hand. Can't chop smaller quantities though, it won't chop them uniformly.
