    Lucky you! I’ve got a simple solution, only use single use plastic, then all you have to do is just put a big plastic bag over your table and when you’re done eating you just pick up the bag, close it all up and throw it away and that way you just leave the problem to your grandchildren and they’ll die from climate change.

    How old is this woman, and where does her hairline start? Is she in her 30s or 60s? Is her hair blonde or white?

      Old, near the top, but it still flows down. Dunno exact age. Blonde, but not everyone loses hair color.

          Oh! That explains why things are this way! She’s in-between all these things. Good for her! She’s aging in her own way and it’s wonderful!

    Meals in countries that take food seriously last longer and are meant to be enjoyed with family and friends. Its just our shitty culture that causes this problem.

      What do you mean by countries that take food seriously? I lived in a few different countries (never in the US) and can’t really picture that

        I dont mean EVERY meal but getting together with neighbors, family, friends ect. is more common in places like Italy for example.

          The US also has literal holidays centered around sharing a meal with friends or family. Thanksgiving turkey, 4th of July barbecue…

          I’d wager the reason people eat in 10 minutes instead of an hour is the same as it is everywhere else: after an 8 hour workday, you feel like all you’ve got between work and sleep is a few hours and you don’t want to waste it on something boring like eating.

              I’m not American, I’m Estonian lmao, but I bet you’re one of those Americans who wants to seem cultured so you talk about how much better things are in other countries? Am I wrong?

              Edit: Nvm, Canadian - but up till like 2 months ago you guys were America Lite tbh

    2 hrs?

    Do you spend 6 hrs a day cooking and do not do any clean as you go?

    Wtf are you preparing? Are you stuffing a turkey each meal?

    We recently got an airfryer. it helps cut down prep time and ease of cleaning to the point I don’t get upset about it anymore. Would highly recommend if you haven’t got one already

      Remember, you are dealing with people that never cook, and for some reason think they know what they’re talking about.

      Total time for loading is broken up over quite a few meals for me (usually). It also can take a little time extra if you have to do some extra drying on unloading. That said, it’s probably 20 minutes total AND uses less water AND means that I don’t have to do the majority of the work. I love my dishwasher.

    Those numbers are off. It takes me about half an hour to cook a meal. I clean while things are cooking if I can. And it takes me about the same time to eat. I get that it’s a joke, but it’s entirely unrealistic unless you’re doing things very wrong.

    It takes 5-15 minutes to prepare whatever you’re cooking. It takes an hour or two for it to sit in the oven while you don’t do anything other then wait for it to cook. It takes 5 minutes to wash everything after.

    You spent 20 minutes actually doing anything and there’s 16 hours in a day. Boo fucking hoo.

      Do you exclusively cook meals that go in the oven and that’s it? No sauces to simmer, etc?

      I think if I’m ever staying at your house, I’m ordering McDonalds lmao

        None of that takes any serious effort. Putting together a sauce and letting simmer is 5 minutes of prep time. The cooking part is the pan sitting there simmering and you stir occasionally.

        Honestly if that is a TON of work for you maybe the issue is incompetence.

        So many lazy folks on here holy SHIT.

          I usually can’t even get all my ingredients washed, peeled and chopped in under 5 minutes. Do you just throw everything on the pan at once and that’s it?
