Sun Basket meal one: Tomato-Braised Turkey Meatballs with Zucchini and Curried Cauliflower Okay, so this was about as detailed as something I normally make. I used two pans (an oven sheet pan and my trusty cast iron), and the recipe included a number of steps, including cooking the meatballs, draining them, then adding them back to a sauce. It's definitely not something easy or that I would expect for a beginner cook. It felt pretty wasteful with all the packaging of the spices, but I guess they're all compostable or recyclable anyway. As far as taste goes, maybe I should have played the cauliflower separate from the meatballs and sauce because the flavors were pretty indistinguishable from each other. The cauliflower was cooked in curry and the zucchini was cooked in garam masala, two flavorful spices on their own. The meatballs had a weird texture, I think either because the turkey was ground way too fine or from the coconut flour. They felt like sawdust :( But it passed the B test! I think I'll save the recipe and try it again later, since I already have all the spices. Maybe when zucchini is in season :)

Podcast ads: Haven't tried Blue Apron/Hello Fresh/Sunbasket yet because it's intimidating? All of those big scawy ingwedients in individual plastic packaging just too much for your baby brain to handle? Are you a literal child who can't follow simple directions to feed yourself? Don't worry! Our service makes it super easy and fun to make your own meals, so you don't have to feel like a failure of a person in at least one aspect of your life!

Me, a functional adult who knows how to cook: It's expensive.

Ads: Tired of the headache of making a list every week, battling the lines at the grocery store, and inevitably forgetting something?

Me, understanding how to shop for food and follow a list: It's $15 per serving. Fast food is cheaper than that.

Ads: It's so convenient and easy (as long as you ignore all the plastic waste we produce and the food we waste because it doesn't look perfect) so what more could you want?

Me: Your bougie laziness is not feasible for normal fucking people. Your ads make it sound simple and easy without even hinting at the price. Your demographic is obviously your skewed stereotypical view of "my mommy never taught me life skills" millennials yet your product is too expensive for our "$13/hr. job requires 10 years experience" salaries to afford. And it only provides like 5-10 meals a week, so we still have to go to the store anyway.

Ads: Try it today and say goodbye to traditional grocery shopping!

Me: Oh for fuck's sake.
