I keep a vase full of uncooked spaghetti next to my desk and chomp on it when I need to think.

This gives me psychogenic pain.
So dont knock it untill you try it.
Grape jelly on pepperoni pizza. Its soooo good, the sweet cold jelly spread on a hot greasy pizza is just a combo like nothing else.
This makes the bottoms of my feet sweat to think about.
Also someone told me about it before and I thought it sounded disgusting. But one night I had some less than good pizza and some gravy in the fridge.
Turns out the friend who told me was right. Gravy in pizza is good. Just don't have a heart attack.
Something genuinely weird that i don't make very often is a wendigo sandwich. It contains (in order) peanut butter, pickles, bacon, mayo. I make it vegan but I still say it's good
Something i actually eat at night: random cheap kids cereal with walnuts, pepitas, or frozen berries
Pepitas? ...fuck me.
Time for my abuelo's only surving recipe to shine. Hang in there with me for this one!
Set gas burner to medium low.
Take a corn tortilla (bonus if you made it yourself, but store bought works in a pinch) and throw it on the burner.
Flip the tortilla just as the side is beginning to have burnt spots but make sure the things not catching on fire; we're going for 'foldable without breaking' so don't torch the thing.
Once the other side looks like the first side, remove from heat.
Now, the next part depends on how clean you keep your burner..
If its clean, take your bologna (if your still with me I promise it's worth it) out of its packaging and huck it on the burner.
Do not let it burn as its going to smell like burnt bologna.
Remove from heat and wrap in your tortilla.
Eat it while you clean your burner then question your life choices. 10/10 every time.
This could also be achieved using a broiler, bonus both items could be cooked at the same time.
This reminds me of a childhood snack I would doβ¦ tortilla on a gas stovetop until slightly browned then roll an American cheese slice in it afterwards when itβs piping hot off the burner. Or just a plain tortilla from the burner. I can still remember frantically blowing my burning tortilla out like it was yesterday. Agreed 10/10.
Honestly? Maruchan instant ramen. After a long day at work, nothing hits quite like a giant bowl of instant ramen. Hell, as a kid I could just eat instant bouillon cubes with a little bit of water. Itβs basically the same thing as the instant ramen broth.
Yes, I have kidney stones.
You are singing the song of my people. And definitely Maruchan, and not some fancy boutique shit. It's such a versitile product.
- dollars for calories value is hard to beat
- 2 minutes to cook
- Add frozen peas, corn, shelled edemame, or whatever when the noodles go in, in a nod to "heathy eating." Increases the cook time by a whole minute.
- Drain most of the water off after cooking and melt in a tablespoon or two of butter for an insanely decadent, rich dish. Good when you tire of having soub. Amazing experience, but super rich.
- You could write a book about ramen as a starter for caseroles.
- Do #4, but much less butter, and add a can of tuna. This is really nice when combined #3, and add some frozen veggies
And none of these variations take more than 10 minutes! It really is a super food.
But by far, my favorite use for Maruchen ramen is to snack on the noodle raw and save the packet. Make a batch of popcorn. Mix meltee butter into the popcorn, then mix in the ramen seasoning. Add just a dash of nutritional yeast, and you have popcorn that the gods themselves are not worthy of.
Christ, I need to invest in Maruchen. Are they publically traded? I love that ramen so very, very much.
I thought I was the only one who adds a can of tuna to instant ramen. My wife thinks it's an abomination. We've started referring to my concoctions as "exotic and confronting", but it is my comfort food.
I use one pack of seafood tom yum flavoured ramen, and one pack of Mi Goreng, cook them together in the microwave for three minutes, and add the tin of tuna for the last minute. I preheat a frying pan, I add the oil from the Mi Goreng pack and the oil from the tuna tin into the pan, and then empty the noodles, tuna, and broth into the frying pan and toss it around and fry it off until most of the liquid has been cooked off. Cook for a bit longer if you want some crispy bits in your noodles.
Really? It's basically a form of pasta alla puttanesca, although there's a specific version without a sauce that I can't remember the name of. It's pasta, tuna (usually canned), olive oil, salt, capers... it might have garlic too, I can't remember. Anyway, doig it with ramen is just a massive shortcut and isn't far off a traditional Italian dish.
I like bread
In an oven?
I like you too
ππ.......Good....'cause I like you too......
I can't eat when upset but a walk, a walk usually helps and if not, a run.
I love angry-running. I end up going much farther than normal.
Look at the healthy person over here. /S
Honestly that sounds great. Keep it up!
If itβs good hot, Iβll probably wrap it up in a tortilla and then fry it on the stove. Burritos make basically any food better.
Bonus pts for wetting the tortilla first, depending on ingredients. That can help bring out its flavors and give it more complexity in terms of the cooking.
Another one is adding a few drops of ghost pepper chipotle sauce, grated parm/cheddar, and garlic powder to the ingredients. Tajin can be nice, too.
I will just straight eat peanut butter with a spoon. The peanut butter is what I really want and putting on or in something just adds that many more calories.
(I do run into problems sometimes because my cat tries to steal my peanut butter.)
I eat a spoonful of peanut butter on a daily basis. It's the best.
Personally, I'm partial to Skippy smooth peanut butter. It's one of the things I'll always buy the brand name of.
I'll take a chocolate pudding cup and mix in some cheddar goldfish crackers. The strong flavor contrast and texture contrast makes it so fun to eat. Another option is to take cheddar potato chips and dip them into the pudding like a normal chip dip.

I was a poor kid living in Hawaii in the mid 90's.
Wendy's in Hawaii had a salad bar. If you ordered the "dine in" salad bar, they gave you a fairly small plate and you were allowed one trip.
If you ordered it to go, you still had the one trip restriction, but they would give you a big plastic clamshell to go container. They assumed you would put food in the bottom of the container and close it up and leave.
Not me. I would order to go, but fill both halves of the container and eat it all at one of the tables. Usually one of the halves was mostly Chocolate pudding and cheezy crackers.
Smart!!! And, I'm glad to meet a fellow chocolatey cheesey cracker enjoyer.
I pop fresh popcorn from scratch and dress it with coconut oil and smoked lime guava sea salt. Delicious.
Just instant ramen, not weird but how mich I love it is.
I have a lot of weird food habits thanks to years of eating disorders and just generally being a fucking weirdo, but lately I enjoy mixing a couple tablespoons of raw coconut flour with just enough sugar-free Torani s'mores flavored syrup to give it a cookie dough texture, and a bit of salt. It's like a bowl of sugar cookie dough my delusional need to stay too-thin doesn't feel terrible about, and since the artificial sugar and citric acid isn't a great reaction with my meds, I only have it from time to time. 100% do(n't) recommend!
I've got this easy recipe that I keep doing on weekdays, for lunch, 3 times a week.
Ingredients :
- 1 pita bread
- some protein (eggs, tuna, chicken...)
- 1 green onion
- small cubes of cheese, I like using feta, but whatever you prefer
- I like adding fruits like a few sliced grapes or half an apple, diced
- diced bell pepper, sweet pickles, whatever veggies you like.
- arugula or spinach or lettuce
- some sunflower seeds
- 1 spoon of light Philadelphia cream cheese, to keep all of it together.
Instructions :
- Mix all the stuff.
- Cut the pita bread in 2 halves.
- Fill them with the stuff.
- Add the remaining of the apple to the plate
- Consume and enjoy greatly.
I grew up in a very ghetto area so sometimes I drink 211, cheap 40s, or hobo wine and it reminds me of my childhood. Bonus points if I can find the glass 40oz bottles but they're super rare nowadays.
Yes I can absolutely afford actually good beer and I actually have a pretty good taste in beer (at least I think so)
I make tiny little sandwiches with some pepperoni and nilla wafers (the round ones) and oooooh itβs so good!!
Baking wafers, without anything on top. Just wafers.
Goldfish in applesauce. Sounds weird, but I swear I could snack religiously on that. I actually started buying gogo squeeze so that my applesauce snacking would at least include a serving of veggies in it instead. but if I ever have regular, cupped applesauce in the house... a goldfish binge is inescapable.
poor goldfishes
Like... Little feeder goldfish from the pet store or are you balling out with like a foot long koi from your neighbor's pond and using the applesauce more like a glaze?
OMG same, never met anyone else who snacked on the combo
we're just built different Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Mayonnaise sandwich. Or mayo squirted directly on a Ritz cracker.
Have you tried Kewpie mayo?
Cheddar cheese and orange juice
Cheesecake. When I wake up in the night (frequent insomnia due to a diagnosed condition), heavy food helps me get back to sleep.
Yesterday was a burger and fries as a decadent treat for dinner. I / we rarely eat so terribly, but it's a delight when we do. My better half usually cooks, but her being tired made it an opportune time to suggest fast food.
Fench fries with Vanilla Ice-cream
Espresso with a shot of Guava Juice
