How can I get motivated for Thanksgiving, /ck/. I'm going through a bout of depression, and I have family coming tomorrow, and I'm supposed to be cooking the entire Thanksgiving meal, and I've only done half the shopping, and less than half the housework needed, and I can't seem to get up and do it. I've been sleeping all day, and feel like I have brain fog. My family has never understood my depression and anxiety issues (one feeds the other) and they pretend it doesn't exist, so it's not like I can ask for their help. I know this isn't /adv/, it's /ck/, but ya'll are my home board, and I need help getting up and motivated to clean and cook this giant fucking meal. I don't even want to go to the store.....
Tell me something happy that will make me want to get this done.

This a cooking board. We arent therapists. Fuck off and cook something.
>>8300913
Think of every family member and count how many Thanksgivings left until they die
Im hoping grana goes on the lucky 7, can't take much more of her shit

What are your favourite dieting dishes?
>tfw you have 50 lbs to lose and can't cook
>>8300794
>going on a diet
>not permanently changing your lifestyle by eating in a more moderate fashion
>>8300794
Milk eggplant and lime all portioned in to 5 micro meals.
>>8300831
Please elaborate.
>that restaurant near you where they're rude as shit but you can't stop going
>>8300738
Please explain the appeal of this shithouse to me.
>mediocre/bad quality products
>relatively high price for what they do
>annoying music
>literally just throw ingredients together on some bread, no microwave, no special features/gimmicks
The only way I can defend them is if you are in college/at work and you only have a tiny bit of time for lunch. Even then, bring your own fucking sandwhich for 1/4 the price.
>>8300754
>no microwave
>no gimmicks

>>8300765
I meant to say toasting, no clue why I said microwave.
By gimmick I mean something that sets them apart from your fridge, you assfuck.
>wow anon where did you learn to cook?
>how's life?
>why are you so quiet?
>this is like my mom used to make
>what are your plans for...
>are you mad about something?
>I'm so shocked after the election
>you in school?
>working?
>where do you see yourself in 10 years
>I have these activity cards used to start conversations
Why do people insist on talking the whole time while eating? Is the concept of "eat now, talk any other time" so foreign?
>>8300681
>autism
Just let them Talk, nod friendly and make some approving mhm Sounds.
What pisses me of is when I'm cooking and people talk to you the whole time. They don't help or even ask, but since you are stuck in the kitchen it's perfect time for them to spill all their bullshit into your ears.
What is wrong with people who put ketchup on eggs? The only thing that should go on eggs is pepper.
SALT?

Ah yes, heart problems.

I'm sorry that you have shit kidneys
Hey /ck/, my dad asked me to replace the burners on his grill, can you help?
>>8300321
LOOKS LIKE A SHITTY JOB
>>8300321
Mine had three burners that I replaced a couple years ago. You can see in the pic, they're flatter and wider but should be similar. Get the end away from the gas loose (mine just rest on a ledge) and they slide right out. I ordered mine from repairclinic.com (1 year any reason return policy with full refund.) To install, just do the reverse. Should slide right in. Mine were real simple to do.

*sorry, pic came out sideways.
I've set myself a challenge to live for £2 ($2.50) or less/day with 3 varied and healthy meals using meal prep
The idea is 2 different style wraps/burritos for lunches, 2 different frozen meals for dinner and Overnight Oats/Muesli for breakfast.
Breakfasts:
65g Oats with a spoonful of almonds, hazelnuts and dried cranberries, I'll add milk the night before.
Lunches:
Wrap 1- Turkey with Blanched Almonds, Diced Red Onion, Bell Pepper and topped with Grated Cheese
Wrap 2- Tuna in Greek Yogurt & Dijon Mustard with Spinach, Sweetcorn, Peas
Dinners:
Turkey in Couscous with Butter, Cauliflower & Peas w/ Lemon, Basil & Garlic
Chicken & Lentils with Onion, Carrot & Celery
Duck with Sweet & White Potato Mash, Onion Gravy, Broccoli & Broad Beans
My total here comes in at £53.21 (about $66) or £1.78/day, what can I change/add to make it better? Do you think these quantities are enough for 1 months worth of meals?
If this thread goes well I'll order and take pics of the results the day after tomorrow.
Also general meal prep thread. What are your meal prep recipes and tips?
>meal prep
>challenge
god I fucking hate hipster memes so fucking much
>>8300266
I have no idea why you'd do a "meal prep challenge", but I frequently feed two people breakfast, lunch and dinner for food cost under $5. Just make a lot of vegan meals involving beans, vegetable and grains. Your food cost drops to nearly nothing.
>>8300334
I would, but I work out too much not to include some lean meats.
I'm also trying to keep them fairly exciting for the price
Ok /ck/ hear me out...
>$1,500.00 Amerifat per 30 days for food
>Eating way too much am fat
>TFW water shit emergency every 2-3 hours
>All food consumed is of the lowest quality and highest convenience
I am looking for cheap and easy food ideas that don't require any more effort than getting into a car and telling a mexican what I want on my cheeseburger.
annnnnnnd GO!
edit: BRB going to Taco Bell I hope you guys have some ideas I need help asap.
dude what

How do I deactivate my almonds after I've already activated them?
How do you unfire a bullet once it's out of the gun?
>>8298468
Put 'em in yer butt.
>>8298468

What is this? How do I make it and what is in it?
>>8298325
Looks like bacon on top of an egg on top of a crepe on top of some fried cabbage and with sausages on the side.

I just went to NYC last week and I wanted to see what the "Mexican in NYC" hype was all about. It was average. San Diego is superior in every way and I won't even bring up Los Angeles
Why is /ck/ always wrong?
>>8297462
Why would you ever expect good Mexican in New York?
>>8297462
where did you go in nyc?
also, which places are you referring to in SD/LA?
TIA
>>8297462
That thing in your pic looks awful, and nothing like the Mexican food I get in New York. I think you ended up at a shitty Tex Mex place instead of a good Puebla place in New York. The Tex Mex places here are awful.
For me it is the mashed potatoes. The best part of Thanksgiving dinner.
Only if they are 2:1 potato to butter.
>>8294931
MOVE OUT OF THE WAY GEEZER
>>8294931
Man like 90% of people I know completely fuck the mashed potatoes with garlic.
Apparently my family is weird because we do buttermilk mashed potatoes and I don't know if anyone else does.
These are the best doughnuts
>>8293689
That is an objective fact
have a reply my man
>>8293689
Agreed. Krispy Kreme are the bomb. Anyone who says Dunkin' Donuts is better, either has never had a hot Krispy Kreme before, or they live in New England and are just shilling for it (Dunkin' is HQ'd in Quincy, Mass.).
