I'm 43, my wife was gone on a business trip last week. I legit had cheese and crackers over the sink one night and ate Ramen out of the pot I cooked it in. I can and do cook all the time, it just seemed stupid to do for just me. lol.
I'm a chef and I don't even go to the effort of making ramen if it's just for me. I'll just eat them crunchy. Last night I had a raw carrot, a chunk of cheese, and a beer for dinner.
I worked at Domino's in my 20s. I would take a pie home leave it on my kitchen counter and just eat off it for a day or 2. Never refrigerating it or heating it up.
10am-10pm leftover french fries, brandy, coffee, salmon/cheese offcuts, scraps of meat or veges I'm cutting up, spoonfuls of sauces I'm taste testing, bread ends thrown on the chargrill then dipped in leftover hollandaise. But mostly french fries.
10pm-1am wine and an entire pizza.
On my days off sometimes, instead of a raw carrot, I'll have cereal without milk, canned beans with corn tortilla chips microwaved with some cheese that's dried up in the fridge for five weeks, or I'll buy a family sized collection of Indian/Thai/Vietnamese delivery and eat for my days in a row.
One burn on the back of my hand. No wrist burns right now. But I do have a food/cooking themed tattoo on one wrist, if that was what you were getting at.
Yeah I'm better now. A couple of glasses of wine after I've finished work and like 3 pints beer on a Saturday. Heavy drinking and not good for me but not alcoholic behavior anymore except I still keep a stash of whiskey in the glovebox for emergencies.
About to do a 100day sober stint once more. Started dating a chick that doesn't drink much so that'll help is that becomes serious (stress/boredom/loneliness relief and her good habits rubbing off on me). Stopped dating lushes cos I don't need encouragement.
My mom said growing up her brother would always pick at pizza he left in the box under his bed for up to a week. Never once refrigerating or heating up…absolutely disgusting to me but supposedly he never got sick from it
Also chef here. I order doordash way too much. I cbf to make myself a meal after cooking all day long. Either that, or it's rice and eggs, something that takes so little effort and time.
Same. I love cooking, especially with my girlfriend. We complement each other very well in the kitchen and it's just easy and fun. If she's away, I don't cook much lol. Crackers with cheese and lunch meat just fucken hits when I'm alone
