I am FURIOUS about the way kitchens are portrayed in TV shows. Someone is cooking dinner but either end of the counter are chopping boards - both with 1 large onion, two large tomatoes, 1 shallot and a whole bulb of garlic. In the middle, a THIRD chopping board with 5 mushrooms on it. The food? Apparently ready. Why is all that food out? Why is it all over the kitchen? Who is designing these sets? Someone needs to pay me one million pounds to be a TV kitchen consultant. I will make the kitchens realistic. Immediate Academy Award for services to TV kitchens.

If there's a cooking show that focuses on maximum essential nutrition vs time required, I'm interested.

Until then, they all look like buffoonery to me

@dianea @TheBreadmonkey Crock pot soups and stews with canned beans, frozen veggies, and liquid stock. The active time is minuscule, and the size of the pot means it’s spread across a dozen servings, anyway. And you can let the covered pot cool and then put it directly into the fridge.

@WhiteCatTamer @TheBreadmonkey

Those are the kind of meals that make me feel amazingly full of energy for days 💪😺

@dianea @TheBreadmonkey …after feeling like you can’t move after one bowl! XD
@dianea @TheBreadmonkey Oh! And if you want something crunchy after eating a lot of soup, an airpopper makes enough popcorn for dinner in five minutes. Toss with oil, salt, and jarred spices (I like it with nooch) and you get a lot of variety.
