Guys who live alone, do you cook for yourself?

[Beachguyj]

Yes, a few times a week.

Yesterday I made three different Chinese dishes in my wok. I'm eating leftovers as I type this.

Before that, Thai coconut chicken.

Before that, Indian butter chicken.

Seems like the Canadian boys cook more than the American ones. My friend grew up in Toronto and he cooks for himself every night. On the weekends he cooks for himself and his boyfriend and every few weeks we have dinner at my place or his.

Is there a correlation between the cost / availability of fast food to that though? I mean in Australia at least, for the price I pay for a meal say at KFC (and feel hungry and bloated at the same time 2 hours later) I could make a large healthy satisfying meal with plenty of leftovers.

Yeah in the US fast food can be cheap if a place has a dollar menu. I can get a McDouble (double cheeseburger with only one slice of cheese) and a small fries for $1 each (or the local Monday special of 99 cents 6 piece chicken McNuggets) and take it home and drink Coke that I paid $1.25 for 2 liters. At KFC I usually get what they call the Popcorn chicken snack pack. They put it in a Big Mac type box and fill it with potato wedges and a few ounces of popcorn chicken for $2. Sometimes it's just about as cheap to buy food than to make it if you know where the deals are.

Wow, cheap.

I thank god for having instant IBS as soon as I eat fast food, especially KFC.

It tastes so damn good, but you can feel that grease moving to your stomach instantly, and I especially pay for it over the next 6 hours. It is quite odd considering I can eat meat with a tonne of marbling (fat sinew, great for flavor) and even eat the caremelized edge fat, cook with butter, and I practically drink olive oil yet fast food grease is the only thing to make me die.

I need a man who can be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

I always do. Stuff like macdonalds and kfc is just so f***ing disgusting, I couldn't stomach it. Restaurant or supermarket 'take out' is ok very occasionally, but I don't trust it to be good food, way too much oil & salt in it.
