I’ve been trying to cook lately to save money. As I’ve previously mentioned my intention is to adjust to living at a lower income level so I can make games full time.
Because I hate cooking I’ve been making one giant meal a week and then reheating it throughout the week. It works well enough.
In past weeks I’ve been able to fry ground beef with a moderate degree of success. It tastes okay and is a cheap fix.
This week I tried cooking steak in the oven. Sounds easy enough. So I found a recipe. Preheated my oven and stacked up some steak.
In my head I did the calculus. I could just set this in the oven, set a timer and come back to it when I was ready. This was much easier. I didnt even have to do anything while it was cooking. I could clean or get some work done.
When my timer went off I went to the oven to see the results of my latest budgetary experiment. Everything looked good until I took it out of the oven. I pulled the steak stacks apart to realize only the top layer had been cooked. The recipe assumed I wouldn’t stack the steaks
Well, at least I tried to be an adult.
