Cooking sucks when you don't know how to do it well. I don't say that as a burn -- most people didn't choose whether they know how to cook, and it takes a lot of time and effort to learn. What IS cheap and easy is to simply not post dumb shit like "grocerybros".

There’s no easier time in the history of the world to learn to cook, free recipes and video instructions litter the internet. Of course it takes time and effort but honestly simple stuff doesn’t take any longer to learn than how to play a new video game.

I actually think the internet makes things harder! There are too many variations to pick through, and many recipes are needlessly complicated. I was unemployed the year my kid was born, and I read the Joy of Cooking my mom gave me cover to cover. I guess that's not replicable, though lol.

I remember when I was like ten, a buddy and I called up a friend of ours to get directions on how to make spaghetti. Had been baking since kindergarten, but did very little cooking. Cook well now, but the memory entertains me still.

God, there’s so much stupidity here. I mean, finding OUT there’s a term “GroceryBro” is infuriating, but also the smug self-satisfaction at thinking restaurants are some life hack/next-level thinking? Also, there ain’t no you’re spending $8 anywhere on a whole meal these days.

Also, does this imaginary $8 meal cover the OTHER two meals you eat every day? Or, you know, the end cost of eating fast food every single day? Being on Twitter does sound fun- I can pretend every decision is actually a genius move and my whole life is some chess game against basic humanity.

Also, after freezing, you can freeze-dry it too. Lasts way longer, feels tastier, holds nutrients better.
