I just spent Thanksgiving with my family, and was reminded how much my parents love boiling things. Fucking disgusting, no spices either? Fuck bland potatoes. It takes almost no effort to just toss a bunch of fucking spices on them and then put them in the oven.
Isnt thanksgiving a month from now? Are you like from the future? Why did you suddenly come back? Is the whole world doomed and you came back to warn us of something terrible?!?!?
My dad does this, just boils vegetables and potatoes so long that they’re reduced to their component quarks and then serves them in a bowl with nothing on them. For bonus points, he makes sure they’ve cooled off to room temperature before we eat. I want to blame the Great Depression for this style of “cuisine”, but he was born after that shit.
No excuse for bland potatoes. Even boiled, they can taste good. Low effort, throw some dill on those bastards. It’s that easy. My mom is diabetic, and down a kidney, so salt and sugar are not really things in the food she makes, but it always tastes good.
Cook nearly any veggie in shallots, cream, whisked in egg, top with Parmesan, broil until brown.
Veggie gratin that isn’t the most healthy but is better than nothing, and brilliant served as a side to steak. I recommend mushrooms, spinach or zucchini.
Was gonna say, that sounds pretty high in fat. Definitely better than a lot of the alternatives, but I’d only call it just this side of not healthy.
The real problem is that healthy food really is only good if it’s fresh, and so it’s a lot more inaccessible than shitty, processed either frozen or fast food.
I dunno. With enough money, “yes men” can be employed to tell me how much I deserve to be the boss, and books I’m uncomfortable with can be removed from my local library. /s
Edit: But I would never do that. Simple delusions of grandeur are easier to achieve and have fewer network externalities.
I knew this would come up, and you are absolutely right. But apart of the bourgeoisie who really have some parts of their brains wired differently, us “normal” people even if we are successful we suffer from imposter syndrome or burn out.
