Lucky you! I’ve got a simple solution, only use single use plastic, then all you have to do is just put a big plastic bag over your table and when you’re done eating you just pick up the bag, close it all up and throw it away and that way you just leave the problem to your grandchildren and they’ll die from climate change.
You do the cooking with single use plastic too?
Tin foil, tin pans, microwave. Be more creative!
For a more balanced diet you could also use yang pans.
Now your comment makes no sense, bazinga!
As often is the case
Genius!!!
I also add shredded PFAS to my tomatoes 🤌

I wash as I cook. Usually you have moments when you’re waiting anyway. Means I have serving dishes only afterwards.
Had to make it a habit though in order to force myself to do it. Took years to train the habit.
I do that, but the more complicated the meal, the less down time there is, and the more stuff there is you can’t clean up until the end.
Also, if you use serving dishes, rather than just serve out of the pot / pan, that’s another thing to clean. It’s true that cleaning a pot or pan is normally a bit harder than a serving dish. But, IMO the extra bit to clean means it’s not worth it.
It is a bit of a triumph when the only thing to clean after dinner is a single pot or pan though. And, pro-tip, you can make the pans easier to clean after dinner if you dump a bit of water in them as you’re sitting down to eat. Even 30 minutes is enough to turn the remains of a delicious sauce into sludge at the bottom of the pan. But, soaking while you eat makes it super quick to scrape it out afterwards.
This is what I do, so nice to have just a few dishes at the end
How old is this woman, and where does her hairline start? Is she in her 30s or 60s? Is her hair blonde or white?
Old, near the top, but it still flows down. Dunno exact age. Blonde, but not everyone loses hair color.
Pretty sure it’s from a film (I can’t remember which)
- the character had cancer.
We recently got an airfryer. it helps cut down prep time and ease of cleaning to the point I don’t get upset about it anymore. Would highly recommend if you haven’t got one already
Make it so it last 3 days. Not really a big deal.
I feel like the post is more about the moment of, not the days after. Making several days worth of food doesn’t delay the need to do dishes once you’re done eating tonight’s dinner.
No but having one plate, one reusable box, one fork, one knife and one wine glass to wash is a lot less than all the things I use for cooking.
Knives, spoons, blender, pans, pots, containers, and most annoyingly, the cutting board. Because you want to take care of that nice wooden cuttingboard and make sure it’s clean and dry.
I think you over estimate people’s ability to cook these days.
do you people just cook for a single meal wtf
2 hrs?
Do you spend 6 hrs a day cooking and do not do any clean as you go?
Wtf are you preparing? Are you stuffing a turkey each meal?
Make less elaborate meals or learn to chop faster.
it’s a skill. learning to live single after growing up in a family is a big change. i still remember paying a co-worker fifty bucks once to wash my dishes.
I’ve seen people complain that loading and emptying the dishwasher takes an hour.
Total time for loading is broken up over quite a few meals for me (usually). It also can take a little time extra if you have to do some extra drying on unloading. That said, it’s probably 20 minutes total AND uses less water AND means that I don’t have to do the majority of the work. I love my dishwasher.
Listen to podcasts, or watch something during cooking dude.
that’s how my podcast list came to be
Clean as you go and there is very little left to be done after the meal.
There is a reason why the cooks and bussers are different people. Not everyone wants to get dishwater in their food from whatever tool they use to clean, nor do I have time while things are cooking and requiring near-constant attention to properly wash my hands 10 times as i go back and forth while cooking a single meal.
Whatever. Really, I just love how there is always someone willing to climb that hill and tell me how to cook. It takes no time to clean as you are cooking. If you can’t properly wash your hands that is on you but somehow I manage to cook my meals and the cleanup at the end is always brief.
looks like its another night of pbj sandwich. again.
You say that like it’s a bad thing
Kinda like life. The journey is actually the goal
Avocado and canned tuna for the win baby.
