When I need to eat but don't want to put in any effort: half a cup of rice, half a cup of lentils, two cups stock (I use veggie stock, but you can use chicken, beef, etc.) Season with whatever you have in your spice drawer that looks good. Bring the water to a boil then lower the heat to low and let it simmer covered for 20-ish minutes. It's bland but filling, lentils provide protein, it's ready in less time than it would take to get delivery, and you don't have to watch it. Rice and lentils will keep in your cabinet forever. You can get stock paste or boullion that keeps a long time too.

You can still have two beers, but now you're not drinking on an empty stomach.

Your "no effort" meal, sounds like a lot of effort to me.

My low effort meal is "open packet, put ready meal in oven or microwave"

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 29 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

This is low effort and cheap and relatively healthy compared to those microwave dinners though, a big bag of rice and lentils doesn't cost much and is shelf stable for a year easily

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 21 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Massively cheaper and almost certainly better for you, yes - but arguably not as low effort as "beep beep beep, ping".

[–] SeptugenarianSenate@leminal.space 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

The effort is in learning how to do it the first time. Though arguably that may be one of the greatest culinary achievements/contributions from the US food industry that comes to mind is the hardly canny ability for these food manufacturers to come up with a food that can not only be served in little plastic packet shaped packs, but have those packets reheat in “Approx. 60 seconds” in 8/9ths of all the microwaves in around and in use at that time, after I have taken the time to consider / have to learn the hard way [1] , how tough (another unintended pun this time) reheating meat or breads could be in high power models with numerous modes, which are suggested to be used in order to heat certain types/shapes/consistencies of some common food object types. (shoutout to the models without the popcorn button, but with a “Potato” setting, with no other words aside from the weight input selection).

[1] I once microwaved a pop-tart for 2 minutes when the toaster wasn’t working as a kid, for reference of where I had been starting from. Worst looking pop-tart ever afterwards, completely unrecoverable smoking hole in the middle of the thing after I came back into the kitchen blissfully unaware that I had blasted it waay too much (in retrospect, at least I knew/had been taught to remove the foil wrapper…)

Put the rice and lentils in a packet. You could also make this in a microwave. A rice cooker would work too.

This is easier than mac and cheese from a box.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

This is literally the same amount of effort.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I do appreciate that the listed recipe is "relatively quick and simple", but I'm not convinced by "literally the same effort".

If it was, then why would anyone buy the millions of frozen/boxed/packeted "just put it in the oven for 30 minutes" or "just put it in the microwave for 2 minutes" meals? They're not buying them for the high-quality taste, surely?

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

You know, I keep wondering this, because it genuinely is a similar amount of work. It's just putting two dry and one wet thing in a pot. It takes me maybe 3 minutes. You don't even have to do the 'bring to a boil, then turn the heat down' bit the other person described. Just turn on medium heat and leave it be. I'd probably take longer reading the package instructions and following them correctly on something ready made.

That said, I've gotten ready made meals for lunch when my work only had a microwave and no real kitchen.

[–] volvoxvsmarla@sopuli.xyz 6 points 13 hours ago

Can I suggest putting some frozen kale or spinach in it as well? For extra veggies and taste. We basically cook that every week and I love it. Granted, I put a tad more effort into it (stir fry onion and garlic and tomato paste before I add rice, lentils, greens and broth) but it's basically the same.

Also try adding soy sauce, smoked paprika, and liquid smoke. Just a drop but it does wonders. Yeast flakes are also great.

[–] KernelTale@programming.dev 6 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

As a depressed person myself this a big part of my diet.

[–] Hybris@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I put rice and lentils in a rice cooker, then eat with peanuts and aioli. Add microwaved frozen soy beans / corn if I'm feeling fancy. 5 minutes preparation, 20 minutes of wait.

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 58 points 16 hours ago (4 children)

I am 35. I will absolutely regret this.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 62 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck, why didn’t I try that

[–] Master@sh.itjust.works 21 points 13 hours ago

Im in my 40s. Two beers is not enough for regret... But regret is normally the reason for two beers.

[–] portnull@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago

At 50 you regret reading the words "2 beers"

[–] stonedtemplepilot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Yeah early 30s here... I'd probably wake up having to pee around 3am and then toss and turn until I need to wake up because of the glutamate rebound lol.

The only acceptable substitution is 30-40 olives

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Hold my beer, going back for more olive.

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 22 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I drink two beers in the morning, I drink two beers at night, I drink two beers in the afternoon, and then I feel alright!

I drink two beers in times of peace, and two in times of war; I drink two beers before I drink two beers, and then I drink two more!

My friends say I have a drinking problem. A drinking problem! What drinking problem? I drink, I get drunk, I fall down. No problem!

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago

A 40 ounce to freedom is the only chance I have to feel good, even though I feel bad

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago

Came here to say this, but in my heart I knew it had already been said.

400-600 calories. Decent nutrition and plenty of hydration. Dinner of champions.

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 12 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Drei bier ist auch ein schnitzel und dann hast du nichts getrunken.

Three beers are also a schnitzel and then you drank nothing.

I don't speak German, but this phrase spoke to me.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

A banana and a big handful of peanuts is a meal.

Add a porter or a stout and it's a 3 course dinner.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Bananenweizen if you’re efficient

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 11 points 5 hours ago

Ahhhh, that's where I went wrong, I was drinking 8 bourbons.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago

You're not a true beer connisuer unless you wake up positively shaking with excitement about having your next beer.

[–] Buffy@libretechni.ca 6 points 12 hours ago

I think I've tried this one before.

[–] fprawn@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

This works for lunch, too.

As long as they're not very bitter, 2 isn't too bad. Bitter ales like IPAs give me a headache

[–] portnull@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 hours ago

You may have a sensitivity or allergy to hops. Bitter beers are made with more hops and that might explain your reaction.

Maybe in mediveal times when it was still mostly carbs except germs can't survive inside as much anymore.

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Mine is rice cakes and seltzer. Fall asleep before hungry comes back.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 points 16 minutes ago

Interestingly, the calorie counts on food packaging are derived from the Atwater system (and later modifications) that estimate digestible calories from the amount of fat, protein and carbohydrates in each food item. These numbers are based on experimental research on food substitution and weight loss/gain done in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The calorie counts for alcohol are similarly based on the measurable amount of alcohol in each drink, except that the number used (7 kcal per g) was just a complete guess on Atwater's part since they couldn't do equivalent substitution experiments involving booze.

[–] y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago

instructions unclear. am on roof of local diner and cops are yelling at me now.

[–] Angelevo@feddit.nl 1 points 3 minutes ago
