Any spices you're adding to those? I'm concerned I'm going to be stuck with a bunch of beans that I can do nothing with. At least I also got sausages and stuff that I can just microwave.
I just mostly bought stuff I'm eating occasionally anyway so I'm not too concerned if it turns out to be a nothingburger.

There's already a ton of fresh and dried chilis, dries spices, salt and oil so at worst this is just gonna be edible if a bit boring.

What in the gently caress? Seriously?

I usually eat beans in chili but that requires meat that goes bad unless I freeze it and I have a freezer the size of an office drawer.

I bought some green peppers that I hope can serve as a substitute.

In case it wasn't apparent, I don't cook very often. I have no oven, no dishwasher, tiny fridge so I mostly subside on take out and supermarket ready meals. Unfortunately nearly everything in this country has super low shelf life. The ammount of food (and money) I wasted on "THIS will be the day I start cooking regularly!" would make you want to murder me.

Also, it's really astounding how expensive canned goods are. I was wondering how the gently caress I spent over 60 Euros this weekend and it turns out a can of tuna is over 2 euros each. The hell?

I have been trying to cook more but I always run into the same loving problem: every recipe on the internet, even the ones marked "easy" or "simple" seems to include over ten ingredients, take 30 minutes to make, heavily make use of an oven (which I do not have), or cause a mountain of pots to wash (again, no dishwasher). Is there a book that is about "how to cook poo poo that can be done in five minutes without running the risk of scurvy or a heart attack if kept up indefinitely"? The closest I found was this one:

Baking is classical music with a strict score, but cooking is jazz with a highly improvisational part. Just put the things you like together and heat them up in a wok or a pan. Eat some carbs, fats, proteins and lots of veggies and you won't get sick.

good god. okay, I'm gonna try to breathe and not call you names, here goes...

I'm gonna be level with you: if you cook, you're gonna have to spend time to do it, clean the dishes and so forth. Can't avoid it, but that's true of many worthwhile things in life. Put on some music you like, and spend 30 minutes cooking, take it easy. It gets simpler as you learn. Hell, maybe it will make you chill the gently caress out.

Learn to make things that keep well, like stews, mexican food etc. This way, you can cook like 6 meals at once in an hour and just reheat them for three days. It robs you of choice of food every day, but hey, tradeoff!

Good news: you usually don't need an oven for anything mexican/indian/using protein.

you can use whatever stuff you fancy as long as you use quinoa/onion/tomatoes/beans/peppers and chili, so keep it as simple or as canned as you want. vegetable broth from a cube is fine.

e; those kinds of recipes are a good way to use up leftovers from other foods, btw. just buy stuff for what you want to cook one day and then two days later, before the leftover poo poo rots, throw it in the chili. it'll be fine.

OK, maybe 5 minutes is a bit of an exaggeration on my part. It seems that even recipes that claim to take 30 minutes end up taking close to 45 and add to that the dishwashing. Thank goodness I will move soon to a place with a dishwasher and oven.

Charles 2 of Spain posted:

OK, I'm not doing this to that extreme but rather stuff like "Use this cut of meat" which doesn't exist here or "spaghetti squash" and the like.

See, there you go. I have literally never seen that in a store except maybe the Asian supermarket a 30 minute train ride away.

That is the mentality I am trying to break. I am really averse to trial and error but I am getting there. Those stir fry vegetable packs sold in grocery stores are great but again, they last a week at most.

What I don't get is why you are averse to trial and error. It's literally how learning works, and in this case it's not you climbing everest without ropes, it's loving cooking. All you risk is having a disappointing meal, oh no

You gain more awake time by eating healthily and spending an hour a day in the kitchen than by eating junk and spending the hour on the couch. Get some bluetooth headphones or a kitchen radio and listen to your favorite music and/or podcasts.
