A free-range group therapy called "get herded, idiot", where you and everyone in your group is set loose to run around on an open field while a highly trained shepherd dog tries to keep you all in one group. I am not sure what benefit this would have for anyone involved.

That sword that was hanging over my head? Yeah, someone cut the thread. Oh no, I'm fine. Turns out it was a foam sword. Still processing that. Lot of stress followed by a soft *bonk* really makes you question the point of it all. But hey! Now this cushy chair is worry-free!
Have a fight scene take place somewhere that ALL sides want to avoid causing a commotion. Maybe there's a literal sleeping giant who can make life very unpleasant and/or short for anyone nearby when awoken, so both the party and the enemies need to watch their noise level and be VERY careful about collateral damage. Maybe it's a stealthy combat in a crowded marketplace, where any obvious violence will lead to the whole place being shut down and ruining the actual objective. Maybe it takes place in a room of fragile treasure that nobody's willing to risk destroying (even if their side loses, they can always try to steal the treasure later). Maybe it's as simple as siblings trying to kick each other when Mom's back is turned, maybe it's as outlandish as a widescale battle that pretends to just be a musical number whenever the Eye of the Divine is no longer obscured by a cloud.
Depending on the system, this could end up as anything from "interesting set piece with a few minor mechanical restrictions" to "requires extensive homebrewing and/or switching to a different system". And depending on the group, it could end up as anything from "finding a way to bypass combat entirely" to "rejecting the set-up and choosing to deal with the consequences instead because that would be easier".

i thought this was a hospital drama why does he have a shotgun?!??!?
It's a really, really good hospital drama
I'm so glad I turned on the Audio bc it turns out this is set to Boney M's Rasputin and is basically perfectly synced
you're worried about the shotgun and not the bazooka
@falconwhitaker hey look it got some of your boys!
Fuckin love this :D
cup check. take all cups in your home and put them in your room. put them in your bedroom. put all of them in your room where you sleep. put them near your bed where you sleep. all of them
spin this list of all of the pokemon. you are now that pokemon.
how are you doing
FUCK YEAH FUCK YEAH
this is pretty great actually
i can work with this
meh. no strong feelings
oh, this is not good
i am not the biggest fan, but i can work it out i guess
HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE
i should make a low-effort cookbook
like you get those ‘i hate to cook! 101: easy meals for the kitchen novice!’ and it still wants you to make a three-cheese spinach casserole
mine would be like
did you know you can put chocolate chips on a spoonful of peanut butter and obtain the perfect snack
did you know if you crack some eggs into your pasta sauce and stir there’s more protein in it so you can go longer without having to make another goddamn meal
did you know you can mix a cup of cooked rice to any condensed soup instead of water and now you have dinner and breakfast
also put cheese on it
put cheese on fucking everything
and finally here’s a list of things you can microwave in a short enough time that you won’t walk out of the kitchen, go back to bed, fall asleep for four hours, and totally forget you attempted a lunch
frozen pizza is expensive but! biscuits in a can + last dregs of jar of tomato sauce + some shredded mozzarella cheese = EIGHT MINIPIZZAS
dump all your chinese delivery into a hot pan and crack two eggs into it, stir, now it is soft and good
if you add a kraft single to mac and cheese from the box it’s magically more delicious (and if you also add hot sauce then it’s spicy)
nachos: chips + shredded cheese + salsa + rummage in fridge in case there’s other things? and then under the broiler for a minute or two. if it’s hot it counts as a meal! works good on stale chips.
an incomplete list of vegetables that won’t instantly rot on you: anything frozen, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes (they get wrinkly but u can still eat them), carrots, onions…i throw away a lot of veggies that have gone soft :(
i love parchment paper. $4 for a roll but lay it down on ur baking sheet and know you’ll never have to scrub cheese or cookie crumbs off it again. perfect for cooking with low spoons. nothing sticks to it!
also: mug cakes also also: if you cook rice you might as well dump some canned tomatos and canned beans in it. TADA NUTRITIONALLY COMPLETE MEALS in the list of foods that last: apples. apples can last an entire fucking winter. also also also: cottage cheese + bell peppers + crackers = what I ate for dinner for like a year
1. You cook the rice in a pot. No spices, no nothing, just water oil and rice.
2. Just before it’s ready, when there’s about a pinkie fingernail’s worth of water on the top, add in a tablespoon of peanut butter.
3. Stir. Cook the rest of the way.
4. It’s a meal! It has carbs and protein, it’s filling, it tastes good and it looks and feels like a legitimate dish, which is great for lifting the spirits a bit.
5. If you feel fancy, add a teaspoon of honey or a handful of crushed peanuts.
Alt., mix the rice with lentils. Cereal (rice, wheat) + legume (lentils, beans) = complete protein. Most people’s bodies will accept that in lieu of animal products.
Since no-one explained how to cook rice: (1) put bit of oil in pot, heat up on medium flame, (2) add 1-1.5 cup rice, mix up and add a bit of salt (you may need to reduce flame), (3) while you’re doing that, boil water in an electric pot, (4) add 2 cup water for each 1 cup rice; reduce flame a few seconds before you do that and mind the steam won’t hit you, (5) cover and set a 20min timer.
Pasta: (1) boil water, lots of water (covered pot goes fast; you can also use an electric pot for a shortcut and bring to a full boil on the stove - experiment), (2) up to 100 gr pasta per 1L water will work, but the more water per pasta the better, (3) reduce flame to medium (light bubbling), add pasta, set time to 10min, (4) check and add time as necessary - you may not need to.
Egg or bean noodled cook faster than pasta - like, half the time.
Easiest pasta sauce: 20-50gr of butter, melt; 1-2tbs lemon juice, homogenize; dump in pasta (and possibly peas, boiled from frozen). Taken 5min or under and will liven up pasta that’s been sitting in the fridge.
Easiest cream sauce: 1 standard (250ml) cream carton, 1 tsp shredded cheese (keeps well in freezer) or more, 1 tbs cottage cheese, spices to taste. Heat in a small pot on a small-to-medium flame while stirring constantly (if it’s too hot to stick a finger in, it’s too hot). Takes maybe 5-10min. Will keep in fridge up to 1 week.
Rice freezes well. Pasta doesn’t. Plain pasta (and most noodles) will last for up to a month in the fridge, though, and just dump it in the pan with some ketchup/tomato paste(+oil + water) and you’re good.
…nobody said that dry onion lasts? Dry onion lasts. Fried onion freezes well and keeps forever. So does diced garlic. If you like ‘em but worried about them going bad/don’t always have the time or spoons to deal with ‘em, there you go.
Fresh bread freezes well. Keep emergency bread in your freezer, sliced. It’ll thaw in the fridge/on the counter overnight, or you can stick a slice as-is in the toaster (just turn it up 1 notch relative to your usual preference).
Potatoes in their peel are the single most nutritious food. (You can, actually, survive on mashed potatoes.) A boiled potato will stay good in the fridge for a couple days. Boil partway (should still somewhat resist a fork), turn over/toaster oven on 150C (350F) or higher while you do the rest, slice potato(s), spread like deck of cards, brush oil over (with the sort of silicone brush one uses for eggs - costs next to nothing and you’ll be glad you got it), bit of salt, stick into oven and come back 20-40min later. Will re-heat well.
All of the following are good in eggs, just (1) dump them in the pan before the eggs, (2) the more you fluff up the eggs the betters: cubed semi-boiled potatoes, sliced/cubed tomatoes, tinned garbanzo beans (<-legume), tinned/frozen corn. Tinned and frozen stuff lasts forever. A pre-boiled potato and a couple eggs will save your ass on a cold, miserable morning.
3 shortbread cookies + 2 glasses of milk = 500kcal balanced dinner. Or breakfast.
1 cup cooked pasta + couple fluffed up eggs + shredded cheese (from frozen) to taste, in a stove-top pan or in the oven for ~20min = full meal.
Black lentils, cooked, will last nicely in the fridge - and unlike other legumes, they don’t need a pre-soak and only take 20min to cook. ½ bowl + 3 tbs oil + 2 tsp lemon juice + ¼ onion = dinner so nutritious you won’t believe it.
Cottage cheese and honey. No really. You only need a couple tsp honey for 250gr cottage tub.
1tbs peanut butter (flat as you can make it) + 3 tbs soy + 2 tbs maple/honey + 1 tsp vinegar = marinade for ~500gr of whatever. Takes ~5min to mix, 20min-2hr to soak, 5-10min to fry (non-stick pan and you don’t need oil). This + pot of rice (<-make while chicken/meat soaks) = lunch for a week. (Or dinner, if dinner’s your main meal.)
A tin of mayonnaise will last for months in the fridge. Hardboiled eggs last a nice while, too. 3 hardboiled eggs, chopped + 1tbs mayo + 1/3 onion chopped = 5min of work and egg salad for a few highly nutritious meals.
Ever make yourself hot chocolate? Make it with milk instead of water, for fuck’s sake. A large cup of hot chocolate is a legit small meal.
Buy broccoli and green beans frozen. For a couple dollars you can get a big enough bag of either to get at least 8-10 servings out of it and it keep for at least 6 months if you keep the bag closed. Buy a jar of chopped garlic in olive oil as well. That’ll keep in your fridge for months and adding a little bit to a handful of broccoli or green beans and sauteing(lightly browning them in a pan or pot on the stove) them together until everything is warm is a cheap, easy way to have a flavorful snack or meal.
Also, ramen, drop an egg and a handful of some kind of frozen veggie(the previously mentioned ones or even some mixed carrots and peas) it adds a lot of nutritional value to your ramen, makes it so much more filling, and makes it have way better flavor than plain ramen.
Buy a jar of Better than Bouillon. Amazon has them for as cheep as $2.99 a jar and one jar has enough in it to make a couple gallons of broth. Just one teaspoon of this stuff added to 1 cup of water will give you a deliciously broth for soup. Pick your flavor and drop whatever veggies or noodles you’ve got leftover in the fridge and you’ve got dinner. It’s also great to add to the water you’re cooking your rice in to give it some flavor as well.
Don’t buy boxed Kraft mac and cheese. It may seem like an easy approach but there is a cheaper approach. A 3 lb bag of macaroni noodles is only a couple dollars and you can get a 1 lb bag of the powdered cheese just like in Kraft for $10 on Amazon. I bought a bag of cheese powder that size and it lasted me more than a year and I made mac and cheese once a week. You can also mix it with milk and broccoli and you’ve got a great dinner of broccoli cheese soup.
My biggest tip for saving money on food is to make things that will freeze well. Say you make a pot of spaghetti. You could get 5 or 6 servings out of a full pot easily, if not more, but you’ll get tired of spaghetti before it’s gone. Stick servings in plastic baggies(which are fine to rinse and reuse!) and freeze them! Then you’ll be able to take out just the amount to eat for a meal and have some back up meals for when you’re loaded down with work, homework, etc and have no time to make a meal.
I… Really, reeeeally wish I’d seen this about 5 months ago. So rebloggin now so I can find it again.
cottage cheese + tomato slices + chopped basil leaves = easy caprese (and a hell of a lot cheaper than buying mozzarella)
In my experience all rice is different (jasmine, long-grain, etc.) so prepare it like it says on the package.
Easiest Mac & cheese ever: make the pasta (add salt to the water). Melt a bit of butter in hot pasta. Throw in a whole heap of shredded cheese and stir. I like plain things but you can experiment with spices.
Advanced easy Mac & cheese: Roux sauce: melt ¼ cup butter in pan, stir in ¼ cup flour with salt and pepper (some people add cornstarch to thicken), slowly stir/whisk in 2 cups milk. Add cheese and allow to melt. Remove from heat and fold in cooked pasta.
There is a mac and cheese in a mug I swear by: put uncooked pasta in a mug. add milk to where it’s half covering the pasta. add water til it’s covering the pasta. Dump in as much cheese as you want, and microwave until the pasta’s cooked. (Protip: sit the mug inside of a bowl so you don’t have to clean the microwave when this boils over. It always boils over.)
Also, if you have access to a slow cooker: chunk of frozen protein of choice+envelope of premixed seasoning stuff (mccormick makes the ones i use )+a little water makes a tasty meal that you literally throw in, turn on low, and it’s ready for dinner in like…6 hours with 0 effort. BF and I ate this a lot when I was in grad school and tired of going out to eat.
Microwave Egg Sandwich :
Put spray oil like Pam on a bowl. (shallow bowls work better than deep ones because the egg is going to be shaped like the bowl). Put one egg in the bowl. Put about ¼ of a cup of milk in the bowl. bit of salt. bit of pepper. Whisk it with a fork until it’s all one color. Microwave 2 minutes. It shouldn’t be watery when it’s done. If it is, try another 30 seconds. While the egg is cooking toast some bread and then put mayonnaise on the toast. The fluffy egg patty should slide nicely onto the toast. Eat the fluffy egg sandwich.
This is also super easy way to make scrambled egg for other things. I can never pan fry eggs right.
Mug cakes
Cheap peanut butter in a celery stick is neat and refreshing and filling. You can add raisins or chocolate chips and it’s pretty great!
Make leftover mashed potato into farls (potato cakes) with a bit of flour. Cook them in an unoiled pan and top with whatever.
Nasi goreng is hot shit in Indonesia, but all you need to do for a low spoons approximation is fry leftover rice and anything about to go off with some chilli powder. You can put a fried egg on the top and it’s so good!
Fancy, yet still pretty cheap, things to do with that previously mentioned homemade mac & cheese:
Cook some ground beef, and use a little bit of the grease (not a lot) instead of butter (you may decide you don’t like it, it’s okay), then throw in that ground beef and cottage cheese and some spinach and VOILA you’ve got scrambled lasagna (which can also be frozen).
Add peas (it’s surprisingly good and adds a bit more nutrition)
Add corn and beans and onions and tomato/tomato sauce and some chili powder (optional) for chili mac (can be frozen).
Things to do with (raw) biscuits (note: needs oven or similar thing):
Get a muffin tin and make a little bowl, then dump scrambled egg mix (seasonings of your choice) in the little bowls. Cook according to biscuit directions. You now have little pseudo-quiches that taste pretty good.
Take butter and seasonings (I use either cinnamon & sugar or cheese & taco seasoning), and mix them together. Cut up biscuits into little pieces. Grease a pan (very lightly, and possibly optional depending on how much butter you used). Mix biscuits and butter mix. Dump into pan. Stick in oven according to biscuit directions (you may need to add time). When done and cooled, dump on a plate. You can now pull off tiny chunks of deliciously flavored bread. Works great for dessert or breakfast or whatever. Stores in a sealed container for a few days.
You can make rice in a frying pan. Just use aluminum foil or a plate to cover it when it needs to sit. (Works great if you need to add stuff to it later.)
If you want to fry an egg, put the frying pan on the heat before you put the egg in. Ocassionally flick water on it. When the water dances across the pan, it’s time to crack the egg into the pan. When the white part of the egg looks a pastel-ish white, it’s probably safe to flip/remove (depending on the type of egg you’re making). If you feel like the spatula is fighting the egg, wait a minute more and try again (it means a part of it’s not cooked yet). Once it’s flipped, wait a minute or so before taking it off the heat.
Invest in a crock pot/slow cookier. I know they’re pricey, but they save a lot of cooking time (I’ve made all the mac & cheese recipes in one). I saved up, but I don’t regret it at all.
Talk friends/family into buying/giving you herb plants. Take old cottage cheese containers, stab holes in the bottoms, and use the lids as water runoff catchers. Plant those plants. Stick on a windowsill or on a counter that gets frequent sun. You now have fresh herbs (you’ll need to use 1/3 the amount of this than any dried herbs). You don’t have to have fancy dirt or fertilizer or anything (though you can if you really want). These herb plants are pretty hardy. (Just remember to water them – which you do when you touch the dirt and nothing sticks to your finger.)
I’ll add to this if I find/remember more stuff.
Every day there's something that makes me think "god, my mom would love this. I can't wait to share it with her!" before remembering she's gone.
