We were the opposite. My mom worked a lot and she would either pick up ingredients on the way home or I'd have to make something for myself.manic_depressive13 said:Whaaaaaaaat? When I was a kid my mum would make like a vat of soup, and that's all we'd eat for days. I still make things in bulk. Generally lasts a week- week and a half if I skip meals. Fancy cooking every day!Colour Scientist said:*shrugs*
It's never really been an issue for me.
I tend to just make enough for myself for one meal, any leftovers are usually negligible, I very rarely reheat food. If I did, I'd probably use the oven but I honestly can't remember the last time I did that. If I have leftover pasta or something like that, I'd just have it cold.
Anyway OP: Boil pasta. Add milk... and don't complain.
I'm really bad at grocery shopping in bulk, I just buy/cook as I go. Like, if I wanted stir fry, I'd buy enough veg/meat/whatever else to make two but I'd cook two separate meals on each day, rather than making one big one and reheating half.
