Carbs aren't the devil everyone makes them out to be. There are good carbs and bad carbs just like there's good fat and bad fat. As long anon gets his carbs from shit like potatoes, rice and wholegrain breads instead of chips, fries and donuts, as well as exercising instead of just hoping a diet change will fix everything, he'll be fine.

Basically. The biggest fallacy is that there's foods that will magically fix you. You can eat whatever you want as long as you're getting enough exercise to negate it.

Shit, that's how foods like hamburgers and cornish pasties came into existence. They're meals high in fat, protein and carbohydrates conceived by people whose days were long and full of physical exertion.
Fun but unrelated trivia: cornish pasties also have that thick crust because they were the staple food of tin miners, who frequently encountered arsenic which commonly occurs alongside tin deposits. The crust was held with the fingertips and the filled center was eaten, then the crust was discarded to avoid the miners contracting arsenic poisoning.

>is this something pre-made in the freezer section that I don't know about
They're available in the middle eastern supermarket near me. They're labeled as half cooked. Heat some oil in a pan and toss them in frozen, let them go for a few minutes a side. While they're frying make a tahini sauce with garlic, salt and lemon juice, assemble some bread and salad stuff, maybe some pickles,too, and you're good to go.

The brand I get is Ziyad.

This is truth. Im from the UP of MI USA, and pasties are a way of life due to the Cornish miners who migrated here, except it was lead that was the danger

I always got like 2 packs of 18 burrito wraps and i always cook a little extra roast chicken or have some cooked mince / cold cuts available to mix with cheese, hotsauce and make something to have a nice feed.

Glad you liked it, anon.

As a little extra, the original miner's pasty was filled on one half with the traditional meat, potato, onion and swede, while the other half was instead filled with sweetened fruit such as you might find in a fruit pie. The idea was that you were getting all your necessary foods in one pastry-wrapped package, which makes sense, because I doubt it was done for flavour. I can't imagine fruit pie cooked in the same crust as meat and veg would taste particularly good.

>>7966117
I didn't know that. That's pretty neat. I knew pasties had made the leap across the pond from a novel I read once, but I didn't know they kept their original function in the new environment.

Either cereal if I'm not hungry or chef boyardee if I am. And tuna, tons of tuna.

That's literally why it's called a pot pie, because the pot makes the bottom part of the pie.

While you boil, fry them lardons with onions. drain the perogies, keep em in the pot and add the lardonion mix, grease and all and fry the perogs till crispy.

Or if I'm so lazy that's out of the question just boiling them works. But sour cream must be on hand for any occasion!

Neither do I. Which is why the toaster oven is so handy. Need to cook something small? Fire up the toaster oven instead of the big oven. Want to warm up your plates or bowls while dinner is on the stove? Stick 'em in the toaster oven. Have two things you need to bake, but they need different temperatures? One in the big oven, the other in the toaster oven. And so on.

Isnt that like the worst brand of perogies?

Totinos Pizzas and Toasted Ravioli.

I'll usually crack an egg open over the pizza and bake it in my toaster oven for an extra 3 minutes.
It's fucking magical.

>>7970636
What is toasted ravioli? Sounds complicated.

>>7970461
My dad thought that toaster ovens were the stupidest invention ever until I personally went out and bought one for my famioy for $10.

It's been 5 years since and it's hardly gone a day without use.

>>7970642
Fuck, I keep forgetting that's a St. Louis-only thing...

Okay.
So toasted ravioli is basically ravioli that's been breaded and fried.
You can buy it frozen premade and then you dip it in marinara sauce after you reheat it.

It's pretty good.

>>7970660
It kinda baffles me that toasted ravioli isn't more popular across the US.

I mean, people love stuffed pasta, right? So why wouldn't a finger-food version of it be a smash hit?

I just get egg rolls every day, lately they haven't had any in the evening 6:00 so you have to get there before 2:00 our so. duck sauce is great.

And there's a shitton better things that you can make in the 45 minutes (even just shit you throw in the oven) than a pot pie.

The cheapass pot pies work because you can nuke them in a handful of minutes. Going to more effort than that makes them quickly not worth that effort.
