That's what I'm on right now. The stove in this furnished
apartment is like 50 years old, maybe more. The burners are
inconsistent. So about two weeks ago I got into bringing restaurant
food home. I'm proud of what I manage with it.

I go to one particular Chinese takeout spot and get two meals at
a time. From those two I can easily make 4. But I have taken it a
step further. I ask for a dollar's worth of extra meat in each box,
usually pork no matter what kind of meat is already there, then add my
own veggies later - fragile stuff that cooks down easily.

Here are 2 examples. Yesterday I bought some stuff called
Singapore sumptinorother with pork and rice noodles and some veggies
mixed in. I also bought a container of beef with bell pepper and
onion with some carrots in there.

When I get home I slice some fresh napa cabbage into two
containers, same amount into each. I also slice the green and white
parts of a bunch of scallions into the mix along with a few cloves of
smashed garlic. Some cilantro. A few hits of black pepper and
cayenne pepper. And then the juice of half a lime into each mix.
Then I pour the take-out food one apiece into each container and
gently mix it up. I get 3 meals from each - that's 6 total lasting 3
days at 2 meals a day. Not only do the added veggies and spices not
screw up the meal, it actually improves it. The lime not only adds a
pleasant zing, it also serves to moisten the food enough to make
mixing in the fresh veggies easier. I microwave a plate at mealtime.
The fragile veggies melt down easy and the other stuff does not
overcook.

Hah hah hah, nothing wrong with that either on occasion, except,
even though I do not consider myself a food snob, I have to say there
is not a single fastfood hamburger I have ever liked. I have eaten
them out of hunger or expediency, but I'm not much of a sandwich
person period.

I'm telling you though, I wouldn't mix my own store bought fresh
veggies and other spices into the pre-made Chinese food if I did it at
the expense of taste. In fact, my ingredients actually boost the
taste as well as the quantity. I even put brocoli into the mix after
micro-blanching it for a minute or so and then pouring cold water over
it. All the veggies I put into the mix seem at first to be maybe too
much, but when the stuff is microwaved the veggies melt down and I'm
telling you now that no one would ever know that the veggies in the
mix were added later. I am proud of my method.

Not lately. I've been there though, to some degree, on the basis
of pure choice in my younger years of not wanting to work a regular
job. Later when I came to realize that not working was becoming a
fulltime job I got a job driving a cab and became a very routine
oriented person. I often make food for 5 or 6 days in a row - soups,
stews, sometimes fresh stuff that is prepped for salads. I tell this
to people and almost all of them say the same thing: "I could never
eat the same thing 6 days in a row." Yet those same people eat eggs
and bacon and potatoes every morning of their lives. At least my 6
days in a row meals are varied ingredient-wise. Nope, no starving for
me. Maybe we can all use a little of it now and then though. Hunger
helps make foods taste better.

How can anyone eat that stuff? Granted I haven't eaten it for many years
but when my daughter was craving French fries the other day and we were by
one, I went through the drive though and got some. Even after she begged me
not to. And what we got where totally inedible. Not overly greasy but not
crisp either and really pretty flavorless. We each took a small bite and
put them in with the yard waste. I had remembered them as being the best
fries around. But that's not the case any more. And now they don't even
have the good salads like they used to.

Right, crispyness is exactly what McD's fries are always lacking.

Because *I* wanted one. It's all a moot point since we didn't eat them
anyway. There's nothing wrong with eating a French fry now and again. Some
people do have restraint. We've been known to buy things such as a vegan
donut, eat one bite and either throw the rest away or put it in the freezer
for later. I've never had any luck getting fries to reheat well. Not that
I would have save those.

Hmmm... My memory must be slipping. When I was a kid, McD's were the only
fries I would eat, unless you count the home fries that my mom made. I
remember them being very crispy and that's the only way that I like my
fries. Daughter likes hers soft which these were but she sure didn't like
these. Of course she has no fond memories of McD's ever and has always
disliked their food. Occasionally we would go there just for the toy which
they will sell you. Unlike Burger King. At least the one I have tried.
They made me buy the kid's meal to get the toy. And the only thing anyone
would touch out of that was the drink.

McD's opened in this area only circa 20 years ago, I think that was already
their "sad fries" era

Burger king in Italy was owned by a company owning also many slaughterhouses
who sold the BK joints to McD's, who then turned them into McD's joints, in
exchange of money and a multi-year exclusive for all beef supplies to McD's.
Big bucks there, but so we lost BK

LOL! We live in proximity of a small private college and the take-out
is fantastic (cuz of all the pot-smoke ya'll). We just don't do take-
out often, but yeah we got a great Chinese joint up the road. The
problem with Chinese food is yer hungry all the damn time. The best
Chinese joint ever was the one put up on the boulevard by a bunch of
Mexicans. They had a little Chinese guy in the back. It was, quite
simply, the BOMB.

If you are older than me, and I'm 42, you had tallow fries. Nothing
beats them. I miss them.

You are really psychotic about food. It's hilarious.

Yet you always seem to have an opinion on restaurant/grocery produced/
mass produce foods.

Along with an asinine message that you can't eat this or that. And
that yer husband is away. And then yer daughter has to have
hummingbird tongues served on angel's wings on the eve of the
Epiphany.

In short, you suck.

Uh... if she was craving french fries why would she beg you not to buy
the McD's fries? Did she expect you to go home and make them from
scratch? (Not too far a reach but a little demanding... teach her how
to make them.)

I haven't been to a McD's in many years. Since I don't fry much, I buy
frozen store brand french fries at Publix (I know, that store isn't
where you're located). The ones I buy are labelled "fast food style".
They're long, skinny cut fries that you bake in the oven. They turn out
nice and crispy like the McD's fries of yesteryear, in about 15 minutes.
Maybe your supermarket has something similar.

I always make chips/fries from scratch, Himself is very fussy so I always
take great care Crisp outside and fluffy inside, but then ours are
thicker than the ones you seem to have.

Because she hates McDonalds. Always has. But I figured since the people at
the dance studio were always getting the fries there, they must be good.
And I did remember them as being good.

I have the frozen ones in my freezer. She and I don't like the same kind of
fries. I like the skinny, crispy ones and she likes softer steak fries.
She also didn't want me to make any at home. She really is trying to stick
to her diet. She just made the comment that she wanted some. But she
didn't *really* want to eat them. If that makes sense.

She is the one who brought them up and we happened to be right next to the
McDonalds. She also wanted a Starbucks coffee. No complaints about that
from her. I can't stand the stuff. Tastes charred to me.
