Born in 92 I can cook everything from lobster to boiling water and everything in between I can make everything tbh My mother taught me some but I taught myself the rest my mom didn't want me to ever have to depend on any woman for anything lol 😆 based mother
Same & I'm a professional chef that can take an hour or more for certain dishes. But in under 30 mins I can grill some meat, heat up a can of vegetables, & bake a potato in microwave which would be infinitely better & healthier than this.
I do the cooking in our house, and after 6 years of bachelor life and two of living together, I've gotten pretty good at it. But even then my fiancée still wants girl dinner sometimes. Hell, I actually just learned the term for it two weeks ago. Sometimes the brain just wants microwaved homemade nachos. Sometimes it just wants babybel cheese wheels & tortilla chips.
just meal prep and freeze. cooking for 1 doesn't have to suck or cost much or even be a lot of work. tomorrow 16 meals of coconut pork and veggies for $16.
Can confirm. Partner and i were 'watching' comfy TV while she joined me in one of my hobbies (building Gundam models) and doing an assortment of cheese, nuts, pretzels, etc. seemed to keep her happy!
I must be a rarity then. Cause my Nanna can't cook for shit, and drank like a sailor in her day. Whereas I can cook like a gourmet yacht chef, and prefer my brain cells alive.
Our mothers got men who would build shit and never complain once about putting in physical work. Those men wanted to be family men and provide and did it without whining. We have men who sit in most day, or just “hang”, don’t know how to build shit, barely do chores expect women to do it and still complain about work whilst women go for work and do housework too. Most don’t want to settle down or be a family man. Women in America downgraded in recent years maybe. But the men have literally been doing what women are doing now, for a long time. To an outsider, y’all are the same. Just that the men think they’re morally superior, they’re not. There’s a reason very few foreign women consider American men.
Exactly! Looks like they didn't give a damn. Just unload whatever they have leftover in the refrigerator, and get a bottle of wine to get her drunk to have their way with her later.

If I lifted refrigerators, desks, chairs, sofas, entertainment centers all day and came home to that, we'd definitely be having a talk. We'd start simply at first. I'm not expecting a 6 course dinner, but hot dogs, mac and cheese and fries sounds awesome. Then when she's mastered the basics of things that boil in water or sit on a baking sheet, we'll move on to moderate techniques such as basic food prep; e.g. stews, lasagna, tacos. Things that aren't hardcore cooking, but are filling. I'd be happy with that, but if she wants advanced cooking lessons, then I can teach her how to bake cinnamon rolls and make chocolate or chicken fettuccini alfredo from scratch. P.S. Alfredo sauce is a pain in the A.S.S. to make from scratch
@@aaronburdon221dude, girl dinner is a thing for the girl usually. I go all out cooking for my bf, sometimes i cook something specifically for him since we have different habits and tastes. After spending 8+ hours working on code, doing minor chored and maybe going to the gym i usually have absolutely no desire to turn up the stove and cook. So if im home alone for the evening than girl dinner it is, because there's nothing better than a glass of cold kefir and some rye bread when no one's judging Also, you're not entitled to have a steaming hot meal all the time. If ya girl works too, its simply unfair. Especially if you want shit like cinnamon rolls and whatnot. Those things take hours to make and you're basically stuck at home the whole time.
I once did mac and cheese in a coffee mug when I was in college because all two of my bowls were dirty and I think that was the lowest point in my life.
@@2st486Or reuse dirty plates in the sink rationalizing "they're not THAT bad." Spoiler alert: yes, they are. It takes near zero effort to put one more dish in the washer to run. Use the dishes directly out of the washer if you gotta, but it's just better. Looking back on it, the bachelor life was unsanitary and lazy af. XD
@@2st486 then I highly suggest investing in some paper plates, a new apartment, or biting the bullet and buying a dishwasher because that's both unsanitary and a pretty massive time sink
Naw, all the different snacks cost too much. Broke chow is peanut butter sandwiches. Two ingredients, both fairly cheap with decent shelf lives, and filling enough to last a while.
I'm 52 next week and I have been doing this for years - it's called not having to cook for anyone but yourself and it's also called eating cereal for dinner.
I call it gourmet dinner tonight. Too tire to cook. But since I just got home tired from work and gotta eat something so I don't wake up in the middle of the night starving, I'm having gourmet tonight.
I am a good home cook, and on ocassion I do a version of this with leftovers served on the cutting board, we call is "scavenging for dinner" I too am a racoon.
I very much oppose this notion, because that is on the parents to teach the kids. Or, if anyone teaches them later on, they will learn how to cook. There just needs to be someone to make the effort. But what I have learned, in the older generation men did not know how to cook while in the younger generation men tend to take the initiative and learn to cook.
I've seen it too much. I was born in ' I'm very handing in a kitchen, mostly with batch cooking and baking. My brother, born '93, is absolutely hopeless even when people try to help.
@@gabrielbernard5440parents do but do u think kids care about that these days? Theyre confused about everything like theyee confused about their genders
@@gabrielbernard5440 My parents barely taught me anything beyond boiling pasta, cooking some ground beef, and pouring a jar of ragu over the abomination. I had to teach myself how to smoke meat, bake cakes, caramelize sugars, deep fry, etc etc. You don't need parents to learn how to cook as it just takes time, experimentation, and drive.
as someone who enjoyed watching the cooking Channel, born 1994 it was harsh to hear lol but I have seen plenty of people unable to cook for themselves. I had a self interest in food, so enjoyed teaching myself and eating of course.
Never understood not learning to cook, even, or especially, for a man. I was born in the '60s and saw the men born in the '20s dependent upon their wives for their meals. Why? Why would you purposely make yourself dependent on others for a basic need. As the pandemic showed, even others who will cook for you for money can sometimes "disappear".
Same - the best dating advice my mum ever gave was: "Any man can buy a woman dinner, very few can cook it for her." Knowing how to cook worked for me just fine.
Yall who grew up with a single mum back me up here, but this was the best damn thing ever. Me and my brother would get so excited when she said we were having bit's and pieces tea. ants on a log was my favourite 😂😂
There's a similar thing from where I'm from called a "taster plate" where you just put pickles and salami and cheese and crackers and whatnot on a plate then eat it
The ironically funny part of this is how spot on it is! Lmfao! I have 2 younger brothers, born in 93 and 94. The brother born in 93 can cook, the one in 94 can't! Lmfao!!!
@Baraccus28 I hit a low point once and for breakfast had grape juice cut with plum wine as the breakfast. I figured "well not enough to get me drunk, I already have the alcohol in hand and it is calories." Granted this wasn't because I was lazy this was because I didn't have any money
Yeah false. I have been the more active and better cook in every relationship I have ever been in. I think like this post claims, post 1993…but what it doesn’t touch on is most men can and do cook especially for how often many of us are single while 80% of women chase swipes from the same five dudes. 🤣
Right. Or a quick meal in front of the tv/computer. A quick deli sandwich (or tuna sandwich) with potato chips. Some alcoholic beverage to drink. This is something you eat by yourself at home or with your already live-in fiance or husband...not on a date. I could have done that anytime...I wanted to go OUT somewhere when I was dating...didn't have to be expensive.
Well Hell!! I never knew my problem was having been born in '92. I love to cook but my wife lives on Girl Dinner and I just never, properly, understood. Thanks!!
For some reason this is straight facts, all my friends who I grew up with and am still friends with to this day that are my age(born in 93) can cook like a professional chef, a couple of them are professional chefs now, but my friends I have that were literally a year younger or born from 94-97, can’t cook to save their lives.
Once a month, you bet your sweet ass I will 🤣 the kids wouldn’t get the wine class though. Paper plates, because you know by the time this is dinner everyone is too lazy to do dishes too
Ah, takes my old ass back to when reddit got super fixated on "single man meals" as a display of the weaponized incompetence that all men are unconsciously trained in.
I just call this work snacks LOL. Basically for me this is just swinging by the convenience store and grabbing a couple items that will keep me going through a shift
At least once a week my fiancée wants this. I don't care because I like fruit, and eating meat and cheese off a plate is just a sandwich with no bread.
Omg you just described my daughter!! Shes 23 lives at home still but with her less fussy half bf 😂 if im cooking she will eat anything like a starved shark but if our scheduals diverge and she needs to fend for herself its always a bag of snacks!!
As a man, im staring directly at that mac'n'cheese glass like grab a glass of mac, and a dollop of yogurt with fruit in a mini bowl all while saving room for the 1 or 2 bags of popcorn with random flavorings for the snuggle time on the couch while watching a movie/tv show

Y'all should seriously try Hello Fresh. It can b a bit complicated depending on the meal. But it's the best food I've ever made at home. & idr the last time I went out to eat & it was anywhere near as good
@@JuliaMarieH only time I really cook is the weekends because that's when I have the energy to do so. I usually make something like Spaghetti or Alfredo, chicken and rice, etc that I can then just eat for the next week
so this is something that my dad and I did when I was growing up, especially during our busy season (we are farmers) and it was usually salami with some sauce (usually horseradish weird but amazing), cheese (mainly of the string variety) chips and cheese dip (queso for all the non-Arkansans) and we called this snacky supper or adult Lunchables, it was easy to do when we were in a hurry and it was easy to eat riding in a tractor cab (it also kept me from realizing we were broke as a joke back then barely making it to harvest) I miss those days of riding in a jump seat of a tractor eating string cheese and laughing with my dad.

This is also a formidable answer. From my studies of my species, it seems most women resort to girl dinner due to cooking fatigue or burnout. So if you offer to cook that night instead she will likely let you!
You’d be mind blown to find out many women cook for family, but sometimes when the man is out (late, away, or with friends) they eat like this when they’re alone at home. Just because someone is lazy by themself doesn’t mean they can’t cook.
"Finger food supper" has been a thing in my life for 30+ years. My step mother always did it for New Year's Eve and I started it in my family early on, but we do it twice a month at least.... just a bunch of chicken tenders, onion rings, fried mushrooms, etc etc. Anything you can toss in the fry daddy or oven. Plenty of dipping sauces. It is horribly unhealthy but damn it hits the spot!
As kids, pre-microwave, we used to call this “scratch tea” it basically meant get your own dinner because Mum couldn’t be bothered to cook. We lived in a small town, so there were no burger or pizza joints and no home delivery either and we didn’t get all the fancy pre-made meals or processed snacks in the supermarket either.
I shouldn't have to pay that much for a movie ticket just to experience gathering a large amount of snack foods and hiding them. Good god my "mammal getting ready for the winter brain" almost kicked in 😅
LOL As the cook in our house, there is no way I am going to make that and call it dinner. If my wife wanted something like that, she is more than welcome to go get it herself LOL

If I lifted refrigerators, desks, chairs, sofas, entertainment centers all day and came home to that, we'd definitely be having a talk. We'd start simply at first. I'm not expecting a 6 course dinner, but hot dogs, mac and cheese and fries sounds awesome. Then when she's mastered the basics of things that boil in water or sit on a baking sheet, we'll move on to moderate techniques such as basic food prep; e.g. stews, lasagna, tacos. Things that aren't hardcore cooking, but are filling. I'd be happy with that, but if she wants advanced cooking lessons, then I can teach her how to bake cinnamon rolls and make chocolate or chicken fettuccini alfredo from scratch. P.S. Alfredo sauce is a pain in the A.S.S. to make from scratch
@@aaronburdon221dude, girl dinner is a thing for the girl usually. I go all out cooking for my bf, sometimes i cook something specifically for him since we have different habits and tastes. After spending 8+ hours working on code, doing minor chored and maybe going to the gym i usually have absolutely no desire to turn up the stove and cook.
So if im home alone for the evening than girl dinner it is, because there's nothing better than a glass of cold kefir and some rye bread when no one's judging
Also, you're not entitled to have a steaming hot meal all the time. If ya girl works too, its simply unfair.
Especially if you want shit like cinnamon rolls and whatnot. Those things take hours to make and you're basically stuck at home the whole time.
I once made a grilled ham and cheese sandwich using slices of pound cake because I was out of bread. I can cook, I'm just broke and/or high sometimes.
I'm ngl I love a good melt. I love to get fancy with it sometimes. This just sounds like a waste of pound cake and it hurts me lol
@@celestrius9197 It was actually not bad. I've had butter toasted pound cake on it's own and it's the bomb.
Idk why this made me laugh so damn hard. Lol
Bro… Grilled Pound Cake??? That’s so random. I love it.
Nahh man, that's valid asf 👌
I can cook, I'm not broke, I don't smoke, but I would fucking demolish that, that sounds so good with a rich, mild cheese. You're a mad genius.
Whoever did that mac and cheese in the glass are never gonna see the pearly gates.
I once did mac and cheese in a coffee mug when I was in college because all two of my bowls were dirty and I think that was the lowest point in my life.
I wasn't planning on adding anything to my shopping list right now, but here we are.
Ok, but the bachelors at least know how to do this without creating extra dirty dishes to wash.
cuz we eat directly from the fridge
@@2st486Or reuse dirty plates in the sink rationalizing "they're not THAT bad." Spoiler alert: yes, they are. It takes near zero effort to put one more dish in the washer to run. Use the dishes directly out of the washer if you gotta, but it's just better. Looking back on it, the bachelor life was unsanitary and lazy af. XD
@@connortobin3775 i dont have a dishwasher
@@2st486 then I highly suggest investing in some paper plates, a new apartment, or biting the bullet and buying a dishwasher because that's both unsanitary and a pretty massive time sink

Girl dinner.....
You mean broke college male with no family support? 😂
Hell, even with family support
Agreed those PS5's and XBOXs won't buy themselves 👍😀
Naw, all the different snacks cost too much. Broke chow is peanut butter sandwiches. Two ingredients, both fairly cheap with decent shelf lives, and filling enough to last a while.
nah bro thats broad shit I can cook like a mf
"Any Female born after 1993, cook they cannot."
- Master Yoda
I'm 52 next week and I have been doing this for years - it's called not having to cook for anyone but yourself and it's also called eating cereal for dinner.
Since I was a kid, I was raised calling this "We're just gonna snack tonight."
Yep. Me too
I call it gourmet dinner tonight.
Too tire to cook. But since I just got home tired from work and gotta eat something so I don't wake up in the middle of the night starving, I'm having gourmet tonight.
😮
I couldn't drop my standards that low
I am a good home cook, and on ocassion I do a version of this with leftovers served on the cutting board, we call is "scavenging for dinner" I too am a racoon.
Meal prep like you're snuggling snacks into a movie theater XD
“People born after 1993 can’t cook” hit me like a train
I very much oppose this notion, because that is on the parents to teach the kids.
Or, if anyone teaches them later on, they will learn how to cook. There just needs to be someone to make the effort.
But what I have learned, in the older generation men did not know how to cook while in the younger generation men tend to take the initiative and learn to cook.
I've seen it too much. I was born in ' I'm very handing in a kitchen, mostly with batch cooking and baking. My brother, born '93, is absolutely hopeless even when people try to help.
@@gabrielbernard5440parents do but do u think kids care about that these days? Theyre confused about everything like theyee confused about their genders
@@gabrielbernard5440
My parents barely taught me anything beyond boiling pasta, cooking some ground beef, and pouring a jar of ragu over the abomination.
I had to teach myself how to smoke meat, bake cakes, caramelize sugars, deep fry, etc etc. You don't need parents to learn how to cook as it just takes time, experimentation, and drive.
as someone who enjoyed watching the cooking Channel, born 1994 it was harsh to hear lol but I have seen plenty of people unable to cook for themselves. I had a self interest in food, so enjoyed teaching myself and eating of course.
Never understood not learning to cook, even, or especially, for a man. I was born in the '60s and saw the men born in the '20s dependent upon their wives for their meals. Why? Why would you purposely make yourself dependent on others for a basic need.
As the pandemic showed, even others who will cook for you for money can sometimes "disappear".
Same - the best dating advice my mum ever gave was: "Any man can buy a woman dinner, very few can cook it for her." Knowing how to cook worked for me just fine.
Yall who grew up with a single mum back me up here, but this was the best damn thing ever. Me and my brother would get so excited when she said we were having bit's and pieces tea. ants on a log was my favourite 😂😂
There's a similar thing from where I'm from called a "taster plate" where you just put pickles and salami and cheese and crackers and whatnot on a plate then eat it
This as a meal is an abomination and crime against humanity
AGREED!
🥱
....calm down
I have suffered from eating disorders and these girl dinners are what I had to do to start eating again. Little and often and foods I enjoyed.
Yeah same for me 😢
Im so glad that we have both recovered.❤
My grandma used to make these and call them “variety plates”. Loved it as a kid
The ironically funny part of this is how spot on it is! Lmfao! I have 2 younger brothers, born in 93 and 94. The brother born in 93 can cook, the one in 94 can't! Lmfao!!!
Girl dinner is just what bachelors have always done.
Bachelors that cant cook
A protein shake isn’t dinner. 😁
@Baraccus28 I hit a low point once and for breakfast had grape juice cut with plum wine as the breakfast. I figured "well not enough to get me drunk, I already have the alcohol in hand and it is calories." Granted this wasn't because I was lazy this was because I didn't have any money
Yeah false. I have been the more active and better cook in every relationship I have ever been in.
I think like this post claims, post 1993…but what it doesn’t touch on is most men can and do cook especially for how often many of us are single while 80% of women chase swipes from the same five dudes. 🤣
I’m still waiting for Futurama Batchelor Chow.
The "girl dinner" I make is fresh baked bread cold cuts and cheese off the block. Red wine on the side. Carrots and apples occasionally on the side.
Shit that actually sounds delicious
You mean an actual charcuterie board. Not a knock off pizza roll garbage.
Reading this almost made me ask you out, I was getting rizzed for a second there
Right. Or a quick meal in front of the tv/computer. A quick deli sandwich (or tuna sandwich) with potato chips. Some alcoholic beverage to drink. This is something you eat by yourself at home or with your already live-in fiance or husband...not on a date. I could have done that anytime...I wanted to go OUT somewhere when I was dating...didn't have to be expensive.
Well Hell!! I never knew my problem was having been born in '92. I love to cook but my wife lives on Girl Dinner and I just never, properly, understood. Thanks!!
For some reason this is straight facts, all my friends who I grew up with and am still friends with to this day that are my age(born in 93) can cook like a professional chef, a couple of them are professional chefs now, but my friends I have that were literally a year younger or born from 94-97, can’t cook to save their lives.
You could remove raccoon and say the real secret to women is they are actually grown toddlers.
Was just explaining to my 43yo virgin friend that women are mentally 10 years old. Talk about social status, luxury items, or adventure.
That's what I thought she was going to say. And for the kind of women that she's talking about, that's probably not far off.
#truth
Or we just live in a capitalist hellscape that makes everyone too tired to take care of themselves.
*real secret to adults
FTFY
Ma’am, are you really about to put your kids Mac’n cheese in a wine glass and just call it “GiRl DiNnEr!”?
Yes 100% but instead of girl dinner, I’d call it “I’m hangry and need food now” dinner
Once a month, you bet your sweet ass I will 🤣 the kids wouldn’t get the wine class though. Paper plates, because you know by the time this is dinner everyone is too lazy to do dishes too
@@thedadvocateya know, that’s fair.

As an autistic person born after 1993 who CAN INDEED COOK, I can confirm that I do not exist
Wait, what?
I think, therefore I am.
However, sometimes I do not think.
This entire thread from moment one is entirely too relatable.
Ah, takes my old ass back to when reddit got super fixated on "single man meals" as a display of the weaponized incompetence that all men are unconsciously trained in.
I just call this work snacks LOL. Basically for me this is just swinging by the convenience store and grabbing a couple items that will keep me going through a shift
It started earlier, then 93. I have never dated a woman who was childless and could cook. I'm 41. Bonus points for learning after pushing out clones!
"the autism actually has very little to do with it, it's just that people born after 1993 can't cook"
My 1994 autistic ass feels extremely called out
Maybe in the city. But out in the country the 15yr old are smoking brisket.
At this point, I'm beginning to think we're all on the frigging spectrum.
At least once a week my fiancée wants this. I don't care because I like fruit, and eating meat and cheese off a plate is just a sandwich with no bread.
Omg you just described my daughter!! Shes 23 lives at home still but with her less fussy half bf 😂 if im cooking she will eat anything like a starved shark but if our scheduals diverge and she needs to fend for herself its always a bag of snacks!!
As a man, im staring directly at that mac'n'cheese glass like grab a glass of mac, and a dollop of yogurt with fruit in a mini bowl all while saving room for the 1 or 2 bags of popcorn with random flavorings for the snuggle time on the couch while watching a movie/tv show
“People born after 1993 can’t cook”. Ngl, I felt that in my soul. 93 baby here
93 baby myself. All we know how to do is twerk, charge our phones, eat hot chip, and lie.
@@Time2Heal369 Good sir, with all due respect, it was a joke. Not that deep. Don't want to start an argument, but you gave advice I did not ask for. Have a great Labor Day Weekend.
Y'all should seriously try Hello Fresh. It can b a bit complicated depending on the meal. But it's the best food I've ever made at home. & idr the last time I went out to eat & it was anywhere near as good
Key word is AFTER 93, if your a 93 baby there where is your cooking skills at?!?
As a man who was born in 1999 I resent the statement about people not being able to cook after 1993. I can cook but I don't like to
As a girl also born in 1999, I can also cook but don’t like to, which is why I have girl dinner for such lazy occasions
@@JuliaMarieH only time I really cook is the weekends because that's when I have the energy to do so. I usually make something like Spaghetti or Alfredo, chicken and rice, etc that I can then just eat for the next week
It's not necessarily that. Often it's about not liking cooking of others more. It's easier to cook, than suffer trough cooking of others.
Dang I never thought being compared to a raccoon could be so accurate for me
When I didn't know what a girl dinner was, but still did it.
Whew. Barely missed the cooking skill cutoff being born in 1992 😂

Once I toasted three pieces of bread, cut them up and put them on a plate with slices of deli cheese, and I swear she was so happy
so this is something that my dad and I did when I was growing up, especially during our busy season (we are farmers) and it was usually salami with some sauce (usually horseradish weird but amazing), cheese (mainly of the string variety) chips and cheese dip (queso for all the non-Arkansans) and we called this snacky supper or adult Lunchables, it was easy to do when we were in a hurry and it was easy to eat riding in a tractor cab (it also kept me from realizing we were broke as a joke back then barely making it to harvest) I miss those days of riding in a jump seat of a tractor eating string cheese and laughing with my dad.
My roommate does this, but he just calls it a snack plate
That's more accurate than 'Girl Dinner'.
Girl dinner is just how i make dinner for myself when my partner and the kids are gone and i don't have anyone to cook for.
I know. People in the comments are acting like this is what women are having all the time for every darn occasion. Not the case.
@@josephinenelan4204 my point is that guys do this too. I cook every meal in my house. Am i really going to mess with ingredients when I'm home alone beyond roasting a couple of veggies? Hell no.
Exactly!
Same. I’ll eat a can of kidney beans out the pantry even 😂
@@-KMA- I've done the whole, can of pinto beans drained, with cheese, in the microwave, more times than I care to admit. Never done just a can of beans. No judgement here tho.
I’ve always called it a snacky platter. Olives, halloumi, Turkish bread toasted with garlic butter. Soft cheeses and cold meats and dips. A glass of cheeky red and you can’t go wrong.
The reference to eat hot chip and lie was gold
My fiance has had "girl dinner" stuck in her head all week but didn't really understand what it meant. But yeah this is exactly her jam.
Don’t let your girl dinner be just an entire bag of cherries, you WILL have a Bad Time
1/3 to 1/2 a bag works for me. 'specially since they're $9000/ lb. . 🍒🍒🍒

"Who needs to cook when you just can grab snacks"
Well I dont know, a healthy stoamach?
'Grunts/Veterans' have been do that for Ever! It's called 'Poggie bait', whatever you can fit in a backpack.
Just no. I will cook you a real meal.
This is also a formidable answer. From my studies of my species, it seems most women resort to girl dinner due to cooking fatigue or burnout. So if you offer to cook that night instead she will likely let you!
Yet another reason to stay single, I like nutrition in my diet 😂
Same here!
I mean you can be the main person cooking in your relationship. Why would that be a problem?
You’d be mind blown to find out many women cook for family, but sometimes when the man is out (late, away, or with friends) they eat like this when they’re alone at home. Just because someone is lazy by themself doesn’t mean they can’t cook.
Who said you had to eat this too, though? LOL And good on you for staying single!!
"Finger food supper" has been a thing in my life for 30+ years. My step mother always did it for New Year's Eve and I started it in my family early on, but we do it twice a month at least.... just a bunch of chicken tenders, onion rings, fried mushrooms, etc etc. Anything you can toss in the fry daddy or oven. Plenty of dipping sauces. It is horribly unhealthy but damn it hits the spot!
I accidentally did this. I wasn’t sure why my wife was so happy about my low effort offering, but now I understand 😅
SHE HAS THE GAVEL. THE DADVOCATE HAS SPOKEN!
As kids, pre-microwave, we used to call this “scratch tea” it basically meant get your own dinner because Mum couldn’t be bothered to cook. We lived in a small town, so there were no burger or pizza joints and no home delivery either and we didn’t get all the fancy pre-made meals or processed snacks in the supermarket either.
I shouldn't have to pay that much for a movie ticket just to experience gathering a large amount of snack foods and hiding them. Good god my "mammal getting ready for the winter brain" almost kicked in 😅
Not just women, but I as well want this as my dinner too.
Girl dinner is like we got invited to Charlie brown’s thanksgiving. 😂
That's pretty funny...and true!
This is like what I eat after I come home from the grocery store.
Facts, ive been known to order an appetizer platter as a meal
LOL
As the cook in our house, there is no way I am going to make that and call it dinner.
If my wife wanted something like that, she is more than welcome to go get it herself LOL
