You can if you like. Going by memory it takes maybe 12 minutes to broil one that I haven't flattened at all to the point where it's done through but still juicy. You'll want to go a minute or three longer if you like it dry inside for some godawful reason.

Hey is Protein powder supposed to taste bad?

I seem to be the only one who dislikes it.

[BorkBorkGoesTheCode]

What flavor and type?

[kilakan]

Yeah that really depends on flavour/type/how you are eating it.  I eat a protein shake with whizzed up fruit every day I am going to be biking/walking/hiking/ect a lot. And that's so bloody good I have to stop myself from having it for dessert every night.

That said... does anyone have any recommendations for foodstuffs that I can either prepare easily in a short amount of time in advance and then freeze.  Or something that takes like... 20 minutes ish to cook (or doesn't need to be cooked)
I can't eat red meat/chicken... or a lot of dairy.  I am sick and tired of rice/potatoes/pasta and I don't eat enough to be able to afford keeping a ton of fresh vegetables in the fridge as I find it goes bad before I eat even half of it.  (One person by myself... rarely eat breakfast, almost never eat lunch... only eat a short dinner with the time I actually have in the evening after work.)

Basically, sick and tired of food rotting before I can touch it, and the stuff that doesn't rot fast is all horrifically unhealthy carbs.

So I cooked beans for the first time, added tomato paste and onions to it and it tasted awesome 

However, despite being boiled for 2,5 hours every 4-5 spoons you find 2-3 EVIL HALF RAW BEANS > : o

Why did not those evil beans get cooked properly? 

Also requesting ideas on some easy soup to cook for person, who is very far from Gordon Ramsey or that Oliver dude.

[kilakan]

I tend to do a slow cook for beans in either an actual slow cooker or barring that... like 4ish hours in an oven.
Beans take forever.

Mm, if they're dried you either need to soak them overnight or cook for a really long time.

Tomato soup is the easiest, if you wanna make it from scratch. Butternut squash soup takes like 30-45 minutes to prepare, but tastes guud.

Butternut soup is delicious and easy. Pumpkin soup is very similar.

If you ever roast a whole chicken, you can make a great chicken soup/broth by just keeping the carcass and bones and boiling for an hour or so, leaving overnight, and deboning (the next day, usually for us) when it's cooled.

Was trying to make blins right now, but I guess I mixed the batter a little too thick and ended up with thicker pancakes. Still good thoough, and pretty easy to make.

Tomato soup is really great for cleaning pans, too; just leave a thin layer coating the bottom while you eat.

So I've been mixing up my own gorp for road snacks/breakfasts, trying to pack plenty of energy into each bag. I guess it works; a single cup-sized serving in the morning can often keep me going until dinner, sometimes 12+ hours.

I've been thinking about what else I could possibly add that would A) go well with the rest of the components, and B) not need refrigeration. So far I have m&ms, mixed nuts, dried cranberries, dried banana slices, and small yogurt-covered pretzels. I mix them in a bowl by hand (no particular ratios or measurements, just eyeballing it) before portioning it out in plastic bags.

Pumpkin seeds, dried blueberries.   Sunflower seeds are a *bit* small but ok if you don't let them settle.   Dark chocolate covered almonds. Nestle dark chocolate chips.  Small malted milk balls.
