This is how I imagine all people who say they "don't know how to cook" live
I'm neurodiverse and cant cook without support really? Other than like, pasta and scrambled eggs. Im sorta learning though.
But yeah I get delivery like once or twice a week and if my disaiblity staff and I cant cook a week itll be more. And I'm living on socsec.
You don't need to feel insecure or anything if the situation doesn't apply to you. I mean that in a nice way and don't think you should feel ashamed at all if you're in a bad spot right now. It's enough that you're trying to learn and do better.
Thanks. Idk why but these posts do make me feel insecure. I know when people here mock people like this they dont mean the neurodiverse but I still feel the need to remind them about us because I feel like we're collateral damage.
It's a normal thing to get food delivered, and especially normal if you're disabled, but maybe excessive in some cases in the guy who spent $25k a year on it.
Maybe there are meal services that deliver food to disabled people in your area? You could possibly take advantage of that. If you would otherwise go with a restaurant I'd always recommend seeing if the restaurant itself offers delivery instead of using grubhub/doordash/etc. You often save money that way and also the driver will be paid better. And tip generously.
Most weeks me and my staff cook enough food for 6/7 days! Even if its the same thing every day it usually works ok. But also my stomach is not used to small portion sizes so i usually cook some pasta or something late in the day which isnt healthy :/ But Im working on it.
I try to get direct delivery from local places. I use doordash and grubhub for chains that dont deliver on their own.
There's a restaurant near where I live that does delivery through their website. I order and it turns out they outsource to doordash.
I just buy ready-made or frozen stuff from the grocery store
This man is an extreme outlier.
I just say I don't know how to cook because I'm bad at it
