Belated Friday Five...
Jun. 1st, 2026 01:32 pm(this is gonna make me look so virtuous, but Actual Mom deserves most, if not all of the credit here. She's the one that makes my house a home.) I would eat like George Costanza on a bender, probably, if it was always my call to make.
In an average week, how many nights do you eat home-cooked dinners?I'd say 5.
2. Do you plan your meals out in advance, or just wing it? Some planning, some winging. Most of my part is coming up with suggestions, which I did a few times a month till more frequent bouts of reflux have made thinking about food less appealing. I keep remembering all this stuff I read when I was younger about things like how people with Bulimia love dyed food like cheese puffs because they can be sure everything came up, and then wondering why I imprinted myself with that knowledge. Except that I was fascinated with the idea that people can "look Okay" and a. not know they Look Okay and 2. Not actually be Okay inside, for some reason.
3. How many nights per week do you eat out or order food delivered? At least one, sometimes two. I think about it much more often, but Mom sees that as a decline of civilization, and anyway, my need to digest and my occasional urge to have an adventure are kind of in conflict atm. (Hopefully not forever!)
4. Do you keep a stock of nonperishable foods from which you could whip up a meal or two if you needed to? A meal is probably a stretch, but because of the above, we'll always have soup and saltines.We could fill our stomachs, if not entertain.
5. Have you ever tried preparing meals for the week all at once, say, on the weekend?Not exactly...this might be more likely if I could *help* instead of just being a sidewalk superintendent...it's hard to make food for two or three, though, even when we're better at finishing off the leftovers.
