I spent about 4 hours making a dinner menu for my household in Photoshop...

Sadly, these are all the meals I know how to cook reliably and regularly. I've printed it out, and will hang it on the fridge.

And by the way, the "KIDS MENU" is a joke, as I only have two cats.

When you make the soup , do you also make the can ? Can I have it with label on the side please.

Seriously, nicely made. Are the pictures from meals that you've prepared ? Or stolen off the net ?

I just noticed the canned soup lol why not make home made soup. Soup is so easy to make that even I can make tasty soup and I'm the worst cook ever :rofl2:

"are all the meals I know how to cook reliably and regularly"

Looking at those it seems like you have several sauces, several bases, can cook meat and maybe even do pastry (don't know if that is pastry from a roll, though a basic shortcrust should not be too drastic), as well as presumably pulses, pasta, rice and potatoes.

Mix and match things from those and your list will expand many times over.

These are Google images, but very close to what I actually make. The Nacho for example, is just a Taco Bell Nachos Box. :rofl2:

What can I cook unassisted?

Boiled eggs (hard-boiled, that is; never did learn how to do soft)
Fried eggs
Scrambled eggs (I prefer mine with condensed milk, instead of regular milk)
Toast
Battered or crumbed fish or chicken
Bacon
Pasta in cream sauce (I don't like tomatoes) or cheese sauce - that means penne & cheese (closest approximation I've got)

And...that's about it. For actual "cooking", anyway.

Soft-boiled eggs are just eggs boiled for about 60 seconds, so the whites cook, and the yolk stays runny but hot.

@Jayro I like to cook my boiled eggs for a significant while; about fifteen to twenty minutes, three at a time, in a small saucepan.
Then, after mashing them up and adding mayonnaise, I like adding paprika to them. Quite a bit of paprika. Then, after sandwiching them, I top it off with a glass of juice, if I have any on hand.
Delicious.

Oh, and removing the shells is easy, if you dump the hot water into the sink, fill the pan (with the eggs still in, of course) with cold water, and add ice cubes, before getting the bowl, plate, glass, and utensils ready. Once that's done, I grab an egg, crack it on the kitchen bench, and the majority of the time the shell is easily removed.

Oh, and I don't like refrigerating my boiled eggs; ruins the taste, I find. I much prefer 'em freshly-cooked, if possible, though fridged eggs are still acceptable.

    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
