I didn't have to cook for someone else. I like to think I am a normal person. That with no one looking over my shoulder I will eat like any other fully grown toddler left to themselves and grab some fast food or microwave some chicken nuggets.

But I had a small loaf of bread I baked earlier with no clear use. I started looking through the cabinets and found an emergency tin of smoked herring and an open bottle of port wine.

Okay, fine. I'll eat like a fully grown toddler from the 18th century.

This is sooo tasty.

Cost per person: $4

What a guy!

[–] MakingWork@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You forgot to invite me...

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You didn't make reservations. I only had the one tin.

[–] MakingWork@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Did I just receive 2 excuses from you?

OK well. Book me in for tomorrow please.

[–] nogooduser@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Classic toddler behaviour if you ask me.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm probably having fast food tomorrow.

[–] MakingWork@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I'm starting to think you don't like me.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

We're fine. I just need to restock and today is just a fully loaded day. By the end of the stress I'll need a Bacon King or Mexican Pizza to cope.

[–] MakingWork@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

Ahh fine then.

Friday I'm throwing a party so I'll be having pizza.

So I vote Mexican pizza!

Cans of smoked any kinda seafood on a cracker with cream cheese has become one of my favorite munchies lately.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Lovely. Enjoy!

Do have a vegetable tomorrow, for balance.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Tomorrow will be a little crazy. Probably going to Taco Bell. Then again it's been probably a year since I had Burger King.

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

There ain't nuthin wrong with Taco Bell!

Out of all the big fast food chains, it's probably the healthiest food, although that's just relatively speaking.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

It's definitely my favorite.

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I've never thought to use herring as a topping. I've always eaten it as a side dish with some potatoes or just by itself

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Do you eat them with the skins on?

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

If it's in a tin it's edible. Skin, bones, egg sack, fish head, whatever. I eats it all.

[–] RheumatoidArthritis@mander.xyz 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The fancy wine glass is 👌

Herrings are great, I love them in every form, nothing wrong with your meal

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You can drink port from any glass. Even a mason jar. I've actually drank a $100 bottle of vintage port from a quart mason jar. But I have found that an ISO compatible port glass really is the best way to grab the full flavor experience for port wine.

I have to trust your word. I have a couple of bottles of wine I got as gifts in my basement, even though neither the giving or receiving party actually drinked wine. I think it was meant to be a classy gift or something?

Anyway, the ones I could use for cooking are used up, and the medium sweet that's left will probably be there until I pass or become an alcoholic.

Edit: the thing about becoming an alcoholic. It's not to insult anyone, it's to say wine is my least favourite alcohol and alcoholics will drink anything under pressure.
