I got some calabacita squash the other day to try to bully myself into cooking because I have to go out of my way to get it and i love them. IT WORKED

when I cooked more in the past I used to try to slip in some ginger daily and it made me feel way better back then, so this has like. a square inch of minced ginger. some canned tomato that needed to get used up. 2 onion'd

every day I live in fear I will also develop biomom's intolerance to tomato AND onion because I love eating them both so much ,

there is enough left for another meal later so I will probably make the good rice to turn it into the ultimate dish, THING ON RICE.

"what's the good rice" big bag of st25 i hide behind the regular rice

I would recount the spices n stuff I put in it but frankly I have to overspice most food because my sense of taste is weaker than most people's

God true. Eats some squash and parsnips and I’m like “returning to my ancient roots. Thriving on the bounty of the land. I have more vitamins than Alex Jones right now.”

squash are nature's healing potion. evidence: often bottle shaped, full of liquid,

The math checks out

update: indeed, this was even better in form of THING ON RICE

extremely easy and not energy killing lunch for me and granpa

omggg that looks very tasty

not a lot of protein tho . next time I should just make a succotash proper to get them Bean Nutrience

thelibrarian: IT WAS!!

if there's anything trying to sort my diet and finances has told me it's ADD MORE BEAN

add more bean for nutrient

honestly all veg meals are sometimes real nice tho. tasty and not likely to offend one's timmy

*tummy

i browned the onions first in a lil tallow granpa made and then made sure to keep lifting the fond on the pan with some shaoxing wine so it didn't start getting Burned Flavors, that did awesome things for it

idk if I could write it up as a reasonable recipe but "pay attention and keep fucking with it until the squash is in there and releasing juice" was step all of them lmfao

apocalypsebird: MORE BEAN is so important!!

one of my favorite stupid simple meals is butterbeans on rice. Just get em nice n soft and it's party time

this is maybe the most broke southerner things I've ever said online lol but I have a relative who used to bring unmarked cans from a bean factory to us that they'd snuck off the line and that was just one of our food groups for a while

mystery bean (usually bbq)

listen "something from a can put on rice" is a time honored tradition
