Things That Make My Life Easier: Fast Food
Ordering food or eating out wasn’t that expensive when I lived by myself and only ate once per day. Now that I’m married and there are several meals to be eaten it isn’t quite so cost effective. Still, I’m no chef, not even close, so fast food makes my life so much easier.
Case-in-point, I decided to make some chili because I figured it would be quick and easy. So I had all the ingredients in the pot and then I dropped in the beans. Right after I did that I realized that I needed to cook the beans first. So I quickly tried to scoop them out of the pot. You can see the results of that below. (Notice the pizza box?)
Next I put beans in a pot to boil. About an hour later the beans were still hard and they looked nasty. I decided to read the package and low-and-behold…you have to soak the beans the night before.
Meanwhile, it’s 8pm, I have no dinner made, and my husband will be home soon.
This is why fast food is one thing that makes my (non-cooking) life easier.
