is your significant other being unable to cook for you a dealbreaker in a relationship?

like i'm dating this girl who says she can't cook (she can't even cook a tv dinner right), which is where i swooce on in and being able to cook

i ask this as a man looking to know what other dudes or legbeards thought
>>
>>6044701
Have dated numerous women who cant cook. Every single one is a terrible experience.

If they're unwilling to even put in the effort to do shit like learn how to cook, they're also unlikely to do all sorts of other things that are simple and the backbones of good habits.

I don't expect someone to cook for me all the time, but I do expect them to be able to do something other than canned store-bought food.

Don't expect someone who can't take care of themselves to be able to pull their weight in a relationship.
>>
>>6044701
Never had a significant other, but I'm aware of my friends' eating/cooking habits, and it seems if you're unable to cook, you have a shit attitude and work ethic to begin with. That's where the real deal breaker would lie.
>>
>>6044701
My wife is a really good cook and I love how she likes to try and experiment and how she likes to buy new things just to have. For example, she bought an asparagus pot because she thought it would be cool.

I feel like I'm the better cook but only because I'm the one cooking most nights.
>>
No.

It's nice because I enjoy cooking with my partners, but a lot of women just don't know how to cook.

Joey seems more depressed than usual. This is probably the least enthused I've seen him ever, he gave it a 5 and there wasn't even one woo.

Why is he like this broeys?
I'm thinking it's some combination of the #TeamDaym backlash, the upcoming holidays, and Ken going back to Canada.

How's the christmas card coming along btw?

Is there a combination of three or so staple foods that can provide full nutrition?

I'm not a survivalist, and I think there'd be more urgent problems than finding food if the world order collapsed. But I'm intensely curious, and I have a thing for minimalism. I know that pic related is both delicious and provides most (but not all) of the nutrition requirements a person needs. Could something be added to it to round it out?

It should, in keeping with the hypothetical, be easily growable.

a dollar a day is overly optimistic, assuming you live in North America, UK, or Continental Europe. You can still eat simple, nourishing, and relatively varied for cheap, though, with planning.

50-100 USD per month, depending on where you live and personal needs
>>
>>6044693
A good way to keep from being bored with leftovers is to add a simple new ingredient as you reheat/re-cook your meal.

Celery is cheap and totally changes a bowl of lentil and barley stew, for instance.

Take some chances and don't be afraid to make mistakes.
>>
>>6044707
Well I was mostly going by the caloric density of bulk bought dried legumes and grains like rice. Assuming those would provide me with the basics of living and I wouldn't require much else buying in bulk and on a discount would get me close to that, though you are of course right it wouldn't likely be that exactly cheap, and with any extras like spices or additives would add to the cost significantly. Though you are of course right and that's all just my preliminary speculation with no practical basis.

I can see that price range being most likely correct. Though I feel as if I should ask if there is anything in particular you would recommend?

>>6044714
That sounds like great advice, I appreciate it anon.

I live fairly close to a couple of different asian markets and farmers' markets (in the summer months, anyway), so I usually just pick up whatever fruit and veg is on sale outside of a few staple items, like onions and garlic.

When you're chopping up your vegetables for whatever you're making, toss the odds and ends you aren't going to use into a zipper back or whatever and toss it in the freezer. Once it fills up, put it in a pot and just cover the contents with water to make vegetable stock.

Hi there /ck/ I'm new here

I wanna know how to cook good Asian style food, every time I try it just ends up as stir-fry, it's not bad but it's not like what I'd order at a restaurant.

How the fuck do I make lentils tasty? I always end up with a mushy-starchy pot of misery when I boil them in stock.

>>6044661
hydrate lentils,
throw bacon, onions and garlic in a pot with some oil
when the onions are soft, add lentils, stock, thyme and some rosemary and let them simmer for ~1 hour
>>
I made some amazing lentils tonight. Lots of onion heavy mirepoix, garlic, thyme, rosemary, tomato puree, veg stock. Added lentils that had just been simmered in water until tender. I adjusted the seasoning like 6 times, they needed a lot more salt than I thought they would.

They honestly tasted like boring shit before they cooked in the sauce for a bit, but were very tasty by the time they were done.

Whats your ratio water-to-lentils?
>>
>>6044736
2:1, same as rice
>>
>>6044736
It's usually about 2 or 2.5 to 1; water to lentils by volume required. Depending on the type of lentil.

But I always use more water than that and just drain them.

Minchia Milanese by the Food Emperor

He's Swedish, and speaks Italian hilariously - there are English subtitles, but they are very tame compared to what he is really saying.

Minchia means 'cock' BTW.

While I like CJ's fresh-baked buns, I don't like 'breakfast burgers'. Besides, they offer a sausage biscuit for way cheaper than that monstrosity.
>>
it'd be okay without the sausage, cheap sausage always has chunks of gristle.

and without the cheap cheese.

and if you had some fruit or something with it.

it's not okay.
>>
>>6037045
This makes me want to puke on so many levels. Why is a biscuit or bun with just bacon and egg or sausage and egg not enough for people? Why does everyone have to take things to an extreme level of greasy fatness? I used to like Carl's Jr, when I was younger, but they've just gone full disgusting in the past several years.

Stuffed burgers /ck/. Do you like them? What do you stuff yours with?

I got one of those stuffed burger molds a couple months ago as a gift, and I've used it a few times. They're pretty good.

I tried bacon and blue cheese last night, but the blue cheese melted to much and ran out of the patty.

I like them but I prefer the ingredients to be mixed in with the ground beef instead of a pocket of cheese or something just resting in the middle of the burger.

>need to overcook my burger to get the stuffing warm

i like them. keeps the middle juicy. i find the trick is to not overstuff, and pay attention to sealing the cheese in so you don't spring a leak. op's pic is too stuffed. and why have they filled a burger with cauliflower?
>>
>>6041868
Meat must taste like garbage in your place so you actually want to make the patty taste like something else, despite the burger being a meat sandwich to begin with

This is the best burger at McDonald's.
