What to eat, what to eat?

Just how does one figure that question out? Especially a person of limited culinary skills. Even more especially a stupid bachelor like myself.

I’ve been eating a lot of this, and some of this. I tried this, which Numbertwo actually turned me onto, I cut the mayo in that recipe with some sour cream, if you try it.

My sloth is deffo problematic when it comes to cooking. I won’t chop, mince or dice. Which is okay because the veggie section of the frozen food aisle comes to my rescue. Herbs are more troublesome. My cuilnary patron saint, Alton Brown, says dried herbs are fail. Sorry, AB, gotta go against you on this one. Figuring out measurement conversions is kind of a pain, but when you showed me how to do a chiffonade (I think, I can’t even be arsed to look it up) my eye glazed over and my brain started humming very loudly. So I try to avoid anything with herbs in it.

Once upon a time I found a website with a recipe search engine with results sortable by number of ingredients. That rocked. Never been able to find it again. Makes me sad.

All of this is complicated by my attempts to counteract Yelp Gut without, y’know, drinking less. Which is why two of those recipes are from a dieting site. Reminds me, I need another food scale. Anyhoo.

So how do we decide what to eat?
