    Cooking takes the same amount of time whether you’re single or not?

    Like wtf.

    Pasta boils at the same speed regardless of how many people are in the house.

      That’s the problem. It’s more efficient with bigger meals. If you’re single, you have to cook and then clean. If there’s two of you, you can divide tasks.

        I have good news for you:

        Being single doesn’t mean you can only cook single portions of stuff.

        You can cook two portions, and have an entire meal ready to eat anytime during the next few days.

        You might even find yourself adventurous and cook three portions, and have TWO whole meals ready to go.

        But be wary, most people who just learn the ability to plan ahead quickly get carried on and start preparing 5, 6 or even 7 servings ahead of time and I only recommend this for experienced meal preppers who know what they are doing.

        Also, clean as you go, and cleaning suddenly doesn’t become this insurmountable task.

        I swear to god half of the people in these threads are not fit for life.

          The other half are armchair quarterbacks who can’t fathom that anything is ever difficult for other people.

          meals ready to go.

          Reheating leftovers is a gamble. Sometimes reheated food just tastes like ass, no matter how good it was fresh.

          clean as you go

          It still takes twice as much effort, IF the recipe you’re making leaves time for it.

          Jesus, you condescending fuck, you think I don’t know this shit? Are you so damn arrogant you think no one else has figured out meal prepping? You think you’re goddamn einstein because you discovered cleaning as you go? We fucking know. And it sucks.

          Douchenozzle.

            of course I am being condescending.

            I am talking to a supposedly grown ass man having mental breakdowns because they have to clean the dishes after cooking.
