I've been overhauling my food situation so that I don't really have to think about it.

For dinners, I typically make single meals that have a starch, protein, and veggie.

My goals are basically to make a decent meal in a VERY short period of time (like, a minute or less).

I don't have the spoons to buy a lot of fresh things right now. They tend to just go bad as I have no sense of time. And I have my hydroponics that I can just browse as I need.

I also really don't like getting frozen things - I wont get into it... And I'm finding that meal services that are ordered and delivered are often just fancy frozen meals. Local meal kitchens don't deliver and I really don't like going out grocery shopping.

I also really don't want meal replacement shakes and those kind of things - I need some sort of texture.

So I've been diving into the canned meals and parts of meals.

I like it because I can eat it right away - I don't even need to heat it. If I do decide to heat it, I only put it in the microwave for less than a minute. They keep for a very long time, so I don't have to worry about things going bad. It's really easy to portion out.

The sodium isn't terrible for me so that's not a big concern.

So for meats, I've dived into tinned fish (sardines, fish fillets, oysters, shrimp, clams, muscles). I have canned chicken, roast beef, and carnitas (pork).

For starches, I have: various ramen noodles, minute rice, and canned diced potatoes.

For veggies, I have various canned veggies and a really cool dehydrated veggies mix (for mixing into the ramen).

I have a wide variety of canned sauces: pasta sauce, japanese curry, indian sauces and curries, and butter/garlic, etc. et. al.

I also have a large variety of soup cans (eg clam chouder, chicken and rice, beef and barley, etc), canned spaghetti, canned tamales, etc which tend to have all three - starch, protein, veggie - in one.

I also have my fruit cups (mixed fruits, peaches, mandarin oranges) in fruit juice (no added sugar or syrup) so I don't die of scurvy.

Got my one a day vitamin to cover anything I missed (I dont think I missed anything. My micros are pretty well covered).

I think I have my desserts down too (nicely portioned out). I really like butter cake and I found a halfway decent prepackaged butter cake that I can cut into fourths (only 50 calories!)

I uhhh.... I think thats all my dinners. Good varieties. Healthy mixes. Very quick. Don't have to think about it. As certain foods deplete, I'll reorder once a week.

Ok.

I can move on with life now.

My proof-of-concept "Single-Unit Hydroponic Grow Bin".

(Edit: This project has concluded. Read the full thread for updates and progress reports. The big thing is, it works just fine, it just needs a larger light, or an extra light.)

I don't know if it will work. Follow this thread (for the next three months maybe) and grow with me... maybe... or just watch it fail... :P

The goal of this grow-bin is to be:

• Exceedingly cheap (This comes out to around $11 a unit - reusable - and that's mostly the light. Each additional growth will only be a couple of cents per plant).
• Exceedingly easy to make.
• Have as little moving parts as possible.
• Require as little maintenance as possible while the plant grows.
• Not require any special space, set-up, or shelving.
• Be able to stick anywhere you have a couple of inches of spare room indoors, even if you live in a very small amount of floor space.
• Be powered by wall socket or by external USB battery (for folks that are charging USB batteries with solar cells).
• If you want to grow more plants... make more of these grow bins and add them wherever you have juuust a bit more space.

This answers the obstacles of hydroponics being portrayed as requiring an expensive startup cost, having dedicated or expansive space for hydroponic growing, require special or complex equipment, or special knowledge and skills.

AND IT'S ADHD FRIENDLY!!!!

• Start growing whenever you get around to it. Doesn't require following growing seasons.
• Once you start growing, you can forget about it until it's done growing.

Note: This is an experiment. I don't know if this will succeed. But! I plan on tweaking it and correcting any issues as I test it out. So... I'm not showing you a finished product. I'm showing you the design and test phase. Maybe we'll get a finished product out of the end of it!

(Thread continues and will be added onto. Bookmark and check back every couple of weeks. - The next section will go into how to build this.)
