So I worked close to home and would go home for lunch and cook some frozen mixed vegetables by boiling them in water for 4 minutes. Now I have a new job that's not so close to home, but I still want to eat my mixed vegetables.
The office has a microwave. How can I do this? Do I cook them in advance using the normal boiling method, and then put them in the fridge until I take them to work? Or can I just put some frozen ones into a container, take that to work, and microwave them?

Defrost them overnight, take them in a plastic container, nuke covered. You'll perfect the timing after a bit. Put on butter and salt, enjoy perfect steamed vegetables. Microwaving from frozen sounds like unnecessary hassle

Frozen veggies don't come in steam bags where you live?
>>
I do this all the time, fill up a little tupperware container with frozen vegies the night before to dethaw in fridge and just microwave it at work the next day or like a minute with the lid loosely over it so theirs room for the steam to escape, works just like a steam fresh bag.

they opened a chik-fil-a here and it's just got this permanent line stretching into the fucking highway
i swear
suburban white people are so meek when it comes to food
they grow up eating kraft mac n shit
then they go to college and start the countdown to when they're gonna move to seattle/portland
in the meantime they find like 2 restaurants they enjoy eating at
AND THAT'S IT
THEY'RE DONE
and usually one of those places is gonna be chipotle and the other will be cfa or five guys or jimmy john's

Due to the other thread about milk, i did some quick googling.
The USDA “Food Pyramid” charts most of us knew (1992-2011) has recently been replaced with “My Plate”, with the intent of assisting parents in what their child’s meals should look like. It was generally well received as being far easier to read.
In response, Harvard released their own plate chart called “The Harvard Healthy Eating Plate”, since they believe most, if not all, the USDA charts “mixes science with the influence of powerful agricultural interests”
thoughts?

Fuck them, what's wrong with potatoes?
>>
>>7400499
High glycemic index and, compared to true vegetables, somewhat poor micronutrient content per calorie. However, reheated potatoes are a good source of resistant starch which acts as a prebiotic and does not occur in non-starchy vegetables and fruits.
Whenever I think of making something like Bamia, I just go to local Arab restaurant and pay $9.95 and get a big salad, bread, relish tray and the entree (the rice pilaf was perfectly cooked).
Had the leftovers today for breakfast. Why bother making something when it's close and cheap?

What's all the grocery stores in your area /ck/?
Do you like them?
Do you hate them?
What stores you wish would be in your area?

I don't live in a small town, so I have dozens of grocery stores available to me.
Some of them are very good.
>>
Several HEB locations, one Albertson's, couple of Walmarts. That's pretty much it in terms of stores that are close enough to be convenient.
I like HEB.
I don't care much for Albertsons since most everything tends to be more expensive than HEB. I never shop at Walmart because it's always full of ghetto people and trailer trash, has shit quality produce and meat, never has enough registers open and I just don't agree with how Walmart treats their employees.
Wouldn't mind a closer Whole Foods, the closest one to me is like half an hour away. Maybe a Trader Joe's or Sprouts that wasn't 20-30+ minutes away too.
>>
We have an aldi location, I usually just go to that
It's my fave for sure
What other food is there besides pizza that is perfect at any temperature?

Cold oil previously used to over-fry fish.

Those are pretty nasty looking, but far from traditional nachos.
Black olives will ruin everything for me, though

Does /ck/ deal with food processors? I always thought of them as one of those random American appliances (sort of like a dishwasher) but recently have been eating less garbage and figured one could come in handy for meal prep/smoothies.
Favourite brands? Worth the price? Is it better to just chop food the non lazy way?

After cleaning, I don't think much time is saved overall. A good blender is a better purchase for smoothies.
>>
>>7402306
Hopping on the food processor thread to ask a question:
I want to make hummus and pesto and such, could I get the cheapest food processor or do I need to spend more money. I seriously just want to make those two things though I guess I could branch out. But I don't want to spend that much on a machine that would essentially be a unitasker for me.
Thanks guys!

Good for chopping large quantities of for. For example, a recipe I like a lot uses 1/2 cup minced garlic. I probably save about 15 minutes doing that in a food processor instead of by hand. Can't chop smaller quantities though, it won't chop them uniformly.

when I prepare my lunch for the week, I generally make some sort of chicken and rice meal with various vegetables thrown in. In terms of keeping the food tasting good the longest, is it better for me to split up the different components for storage in the fridge and the combine them before use, or is it okay to just throw everything together and store it like that?
