Gotta ask this question for the sake those who cant cook

[Final Prophecy]

well personally im not as good at culinomancy as Jujimufu is (or acromancy for that matter)...in fact i cant even cook at all (minus Top Ramen, Cereal, Fruits).

So the big question is, is it alright to eat canned soups? Not sure if juji put this in an article or not, but usually on average the soups I eat (Progresso, typically Chicken and Wild Rice / Chicken Noodle / Steak and Noodle) have about 3%-5% of daily value in saturated fats, about 8-10 grams in protein, and a fair amount of carbohydrates. They also contain veggies and stuff, so is it pretty healthy at least to eat / drink soup? :tongue:

[compleks]

Just learn to cook. Some tinned soups are alright, but they aren't ideal. I certainly wouldn't rely on them as a regular meal.

[General Miaow]

You can cook - there's nothing to it. Put some vegetables in a pot of boiling water, put a piece of meat in an oven for a while: you've got yourself a meal. It's on about the same order of difficulty as operating a DVD player

[kristo]

They normally have a lot of hydrogenated oils in them, and crazy amounts of sodium. Read the nutrition facts and ingredients.

Well said! :punched:

Unless it's like... some psychotic gourmet meal. :worry:

But that's not cooking anymore, that's art!

Antoine explained it pretty well.

"Cooking is easy.
That's why girls do it"

You don't have to be jaime oliver to make a tasty meal. Just start with the basic stuff like preparing meat, cook pasta and eventually you'll learn how to combine different sources of food into delicious marvels of culinary liking...

What did I just say...?

Hahaha! I forgot he said that! Well said!

*too muss*

[slik]

I think this discussion is pretty much over already :tongue:. Steaming veggies, making eggs in anyway, rice, pasta, frying meat/chicken/fish, making salads/fruit salads it's all REEEEAAAALLLY simple.

By being able to type your post you showed that you are capable of cooking. :good:

And that Antoine quote was classic :smile:

in addition to those canned soups and such, is there anything negative about the negative dinners? I can't cook for shit so i have been eating a lot of those lean cuisines or healthy type frozen dinners.

[ANOMALY]

frozen dinners? bleh. trust me man, if you can boil water and use a frying pan, you can make your own stuff. probably for cheaper, too.

Really?? I'm an extremely picky eater and pretty much jsut like noodles, rice, chicken/steak/pork/shrimp/any meat basically. the vegetables that I do like include carrots, broccoli, corn, cucumbers, and lettuce.

what things should I buy at the grocery store to make my ideal foods? how long and at what temperature do I cook things? I am filipino so I liek soy sauce and teriyaki. can I include this to make my meals less american?

thank you. :]

haha yeah i realized how retarded what i said was and was kinna hoping no one would notice

[compleks]

It's out in the open now.

[trickster914]

attack!!

[Paul]

It's all trial and error man, if you make noodles one night with soy sauce and mushrooms and don't like it for some reason, just take out the mushrooms and put in carrots and beans the next night, or something....

Just do it. Experiment.

[Phil D]

[540Ninja]

why can't i be a working fountain of knowledge huh? i care more about my knowledge of nutrition and the body than i do about school taught subjects

[compleks]

You must fail miserably at school then.

[Konnar]

lolol

[CodyLee1337]

I like Compleks, 540Ninja you make me sad ; ;, unless you post a very awsome 540 your name fails and Juji should rename you to something more appropriate.

[540Ninja]

frontflip ninja. thats more my style anyways ,i agree. and i dont hate compleks either, i was just returning the insult. i got mad respect for compleks but not much for u cuz u never post anything useful(im not saying i always do, actually i rarely post very helpful things but not many TTers do) PEACE!

[CodyLee1337]

HEY! I post some useful stuff everynow and then...kinda...ok maybe not :agony:

[alex]

here's what i do about once every other week or so:

combine the following in a large pot:

1 can diced tomatos
1 can tomato paste
1.5 pounds cooked italian turkey sausage
a bit of salt, pepper, oregano, rosemary, thyme, whatever other spices you like
a bit of water
various vegetables chopped up

cook on low heat until vegetables get soft, combine with appropriate ammount of whole wheat pasta.

Then you have a good number of hearty meals prepared. Feel free to double or triple recipe if necessary. EASY!
