What have you recently eaten?

Frozen cacio e pepe bag. I really liked it.

Like I knew I was never going to spin that shit up myself, but the bag meal was surprisingly bright and interesting. The part I found most interesting is the sauce was spaced throughout the bag in what I would call a butter pat but I realize that's trailer talk, more, the sauce was frozen in various places in the bag in rectangle shapes, so while the dish heated the sauce liquidated down in an even manner in a way I don't expect from a stupid frozen bag meal. My family tend to eat heavy, so the light bright noodle dish was a welcome distraction from current problems.

I'd buy it again, but as I got it at a discount market I'll likely never see it again. But it was a nice light reprieve from heavy shit.

I have a little yolk separator that I got at walmart for a dollar. You just crack the egg into it and it's like a little spoon with a hole in it and the egg white pours through but the yolk stays in the spoon.

I hope you're not throwing those egg yolks out. You can salt cure them into something that tastes amazing grated onto stuff:

 
I have perfected the lazy hotdog:
-Johnsonville Andouille- cheap as regular dogs but spiced decently well. 45 seconds in the microwave and it's hot enough to split from stem to stern.
-Martin's potato buns- split and stuff with cheese of your choice. Purists will say cheese goes on top of the dog but this makes assembly easy. Saturate a paper towel and give it a mild squeeze. You want more than damp but less than dripping. Cover your cheesed bun, you do not want any "air gap" between your bun and plate*, and microwave for 30 seconds. You will find it is perfectly steamed and your cheese is melted. Do this after the dog so it is not burning hot.
- Throw the dog in the bun and top with your favored condiments. A practiced hand can go from "Man, I could go for a hot dog..." to enjoying said hot dog in <3 minutes.
*"Food boats" are cheaper than paper plates and conveniently hot dog/bun sized. Bonus: it gives that authentic sleazy hot dog stand feel to your meal.
 
For lunch today I had crackers, cheese, pepper jelly, and a tin of smoked oysters.

Red apple cheese is really mid, but it's the fanciest brand the small grocery store I stopped at this weekend had. Still a pretty decent lazy lunch.

Ate some meatballs from my DnD cookbook for dinner last night. Called "Dwarven tide me overs". Had them over Orzo. Very savory and very brown but I love me side slop food I'm admit
 
Todays lunch: canned baked beans, fried spam with bbq sauce, and non-vintage but still at least 10 yesr old beer (no clue when my mom bought it but it's not bad). Rez ass lunch.

I did not strangle anybody at work yesterday so I treated myself to a Valentine's day cupcake!

I did not strangle anybody at work today either and I treated myself to a cookie, but that was mostly because I packed way too light of a lunch. I swear, my lunch looks larger when packing it then it does when I'm hungry and cranky on my break.
 
Flatbread with mozzarella cheese, crispy onions, pulled pork and BBQ sauce. Very appetizing goyslop, can never go wrong with onions and pulled pork.

Literally all you need to make cacio e pepe is a block of cheese (pecorino is traditional but parmesan works), spaghetti, salt, pepper and a bit of olive oil. Its retarded to buy it frozen it's literally the kind of thing you make when you're drunk or broke
 
My hands are all fucked up, so you better drive brother. I've tried various mobility aids, but generally it takes me a long time to do simple kitchen tasks and pepe is a fast meal, you literally have to plate and eat the real stuff immediately. This gave me the flavor without the skill. They added lemon zest which I know would drive purists up the wall, but I liked the brightness.
Most tard kitchen gear sucks and actually hurt to use. I can still dice an onion though.
Like a lot of hold boards use fucking vertical spikes to "hold" the food, I generally use an inverted fork.
 
Some kind of Egyptian pre-cooked canned fava beans that I typically warm up and dump canned tuna or sardines (in olive oil/spicy olive oil) into. It's cheap and lazy but good enough as a low effort way of getting some variety in my overall diet.
 
Tteokbokki cooked in Trader Joe's Tomato and Pepper soup. It was good.

If you have a Trader Joe's near you, they have a jar of cacio e pepe sauce, and ravioli in that flavor. They used to have a frozen one like what you described, but it was discontinued. Maybe your disability prevents you from being able to open jars, though.
