I cook a couple pounds of chicken, after cooking them I put a pound of chicken in the freezer inside a ziplock bag. I keep a pound in the fridge and thaw out another pound whenever it runs out.

A slow cooker is one of the greatest things in the world. There's a recipe thread, too.

I'm a big fan of making a pot of soup and taking that for lunch. Or go crazy and make a couple different types, and freeze individual portions, and thaw as needed. I'm partial to split pea and tomato bisque. If you hate your coworkers bring sardine and onion sandwiches and "forget" them in the fridge for weeks at a time. I don't have regular access to a microwave, so I bring lots of sandwiches and stuff that goes well in a thermos, like pasta and teriyaki chicken.

Nostalgia4Butts posted:chicken and rice is my go-to. Brown the chicken, toss in a Dutch oven. Toast the rice a bit in the pan with the drippings and/or a little more oil if necessary, also toss in the oven. Add 2 cups of sodium-free stock for every 1 cup of rice and 8-12oz of your favorite salsa, stir everything together and bring to a bare bubble then cover for ~20mins. Much, much more palatable than normal chicken and rice.

I have soup every day for lunch now, at least until the cafe near work stops doing that when winter ends. It's pretty good because it's some artsy fartsy place and I get the low sodium options most of the time. I also switched to drinking Yerba mate tea instead of an early morning coffee.

I'm getting on the tea instead of coffee train because of flavor options. I found this Tazo wild orange spice stuff that is quite good.

My wife usually makes a big pot of soup on Sundays that carries us through most of the week. I need to stop doing that because I'm having trouble maintaining weight.

Some jackass mechanics that did one of the prior changes lost half the bolts to my skid plate. Rotate the tires as well as this doubles their effective life. Last time I had a PepBoys change the oil on my wife's car, they didn't torque the oil pan plug. It fell out somewhere along I-10 and my wife's car overheated. I had a bit of a dad day too. Woke up at 530, had some toast, jogged to the gym for some abs work out, jogged back. By 7 the kiddo was up so I made some cereal, put on some coffee, and started sharpening pocket knives. I was super excited to have found an old as heck Case sodbuster with yellow scales. I *think* my dad had given this to me when I was probably 13 or 14, but maybe that one had black scales. Anyway, sharpening knives

The canister lid for the oil filter was just....weird. I didn't have a strap wrench so I was using this craftsman oil filter claw wrench to open it, that was....not easy.

I'm thinking a ranger tug is a better investment than a camper trailer. Time to scratch up a good deposit on a 60k dream.

My general thinking on boats has always been the traditional approach of "hole in the water you throw money into" with the size of the hole exponentially increasing with length. I might one day have a cheap rear end pond boat, but nothing more. I can't justify a camping trailer but loving lol at essentially taking out a mortgage on something that'll sit in a storage lot most of the year.

With the advent of a new meme, the FedEx guy, it got me to realize something: I don't think I'd really care of I saw idiots burning or stomping on a US flag. It would make me think less of them, but I wouldn't charge in there and tackle them or deploy a fire extinguisher. What about you other dads?

It's an idiot thing to do, but it's still just a symbol. If you are so caught up with the symbol itself and not what it represents then really you're going crazy over a piece of cloth and should enlist open contract.
