I think I've officially seen the entire Louis C.K. standup on Reddit in the form of pictures superimposed with text.

Yep. Time for a subreddit. That I can unsubscribe to.

Random pictures of Louis C.K. making funny faces accompanied by text. How original.

Oh god... my parents had the first real cheese I'd seen for months in the fridge. I ate a solid block of parmesan.

[–]ActivateFullDerp 5 points6 points ago

Real food is the ambrosia of the gods.

A double-large serving of Korean barbecue and kimchi when I get home is like ecstasy compared to the joke of food I have at my college (microwaveable burritos, 3 for $1, so you can guess the taste, along with ramen). Living cheap has its downs, but it makes the ups so much more enjoyable.

Dear god man get away from that trash before you kill yourself and learn how to eat healthy on the cheap. At least just cook rice and veggies. You can make goddamn delicious dinners for like $3 a meal that are amazing. Get a giant bulk bag of rice, and then cheap veggies like broccoli, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, ginger, beets, etc. and stir fry them. From the sounds of things, you have asian parents, ask them for help.

[–]yqx 3 points4 points ago

You're absolutely right. I don't know what frustrated overweight college students are downvoting you but cheap food doesn't need to be discusting food. In fact, eating healthy can be cheaper than getting premade microwave crap.

[–]Jawthumb 0 points1 point ago

Ramen is dirt cheap, and pretty good if you put in lots of vegetables.

Are you illiterate? He was talking about how eating that food was a downer, because he was poor. Also, I'm not a vegetarian, I was telling how he can make super cheap meals that are delicious and healthy without resorting to really shitty, horribly unhealthy things like microwavable burritos.

How was I being an asshole? I was ready to give him some amazing recipes that I have for really cheap quick meals but he never responded. I don't know what your problem is, but if you want to be the champion of microwavable burritos, by all means go ahead. We can talk once you actually read the labels and understand what is in that shit.

[–]IterativeLoop 0 points1 point ago

Oh, I thought you were talking about the korean barbecue. It's not every day someone lambasts korean barbecue, and I really love that stuff.

My apologies.

[–]PrimeIntellect 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ooooohkay, no that sounds delicious. I was trying to get him out of the top ramen and burrito train, because that will honestly hurt your body if you eat nothing but for long enough, and I've been there.

Fuck, I might make korean BBQ tonight, that sounds awesome.

[–]IterativeLoop 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They sell it pre-marinated at korean markets, and you can buy them by pound/kg. It's how I usually get them since I don't know how to marinate it myself.

How true. When I was in college, the best part of going home was being able to just stuff myself with delicious food. And my mother is an awesome cook.

[–]excavator12 0 points1 point ago

As a college graduate who goes to my own home every day....this is often true.

[–]therealdaredevil 0 points1 point ago

Just posted this up on my fridge. I'll either lose weight or really hate myself much more than I already do.

[–]JTDeuce 0 points1 point ago

If I did this, I wouldn't even eat.

[–]Lyeta 0 points1 point ago

For some odd reason my college, despite the wonderful food I often have hankerings for even years after graduation, almost never served meat. And they NEVER served pork, which I found just unreasonable. My mom knew that whatever my first meal back was, it had to be a pork chop of some sort. Preferably schnitzel. om nom nom.

I don't know that feel. I'll eat until I am physically unable to eat anymore, and then I am just proud of myself. Afterwards I get drunk and it's when I'm hungover that I hate myself.

[–]bvanman 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yep, and this is why I actually lost weight when I went to college, because I was actually eating when I needed to and not because it was "dinner time".

A Louis CK strip with text on it posted on the anniversary of when you signed up for a website?

Yeah, here's a downvote.

[–]zaggynl -1 points0 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Eh, is decent food that expensive or can't you cook for yourself?
Edit: why the downvote?

[–]Lyeta 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

When I was in college the only cooking means I had available was a microwave and a coffee pot. Have you ever tried to cook real food in a microwave? I mastered cooking various pasta dishes in the microwave, but really, nothing else works.

I'm a damn good cook, even when I was in college. But I'm only good with a stove and an oven. Even a camp fire. But not in a microwave.

[–]zaggynl 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Why live in a place where you can hardly prepare food?
Time to acquire something to heat your food with besides a microwave then.

[–]Lyeta 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

um, like many (most?) college students I lived in a dorm? You know, quintessential university living experience and all. And generally institutions frown upon you buying and installing stoves in your dorm room.

[–]zaggynl 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Pardon my ignorance, I never lived in a dorm or have even seen one.
Wait, so dorms don't have stoves themselves in the (shared) kitchen?

[–]Lyeta 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Generally no, since all those folks who never learned to cook have a tendency to catch things on fire. Also as hazards see: drunks, stoners, sleep deprived students who forget things, all of which who make up about 75% of a college population.

I have never seen a college that had dorms that had stoves/ovens for student use. Your 'kitchen' was really more of a pantry that had a sink, microwave and a fridge that you put stuff in only if you desired for it to disappear.

[–]vinniep 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Unless a lot has changed since I graduated, most college students can't cook to save their lives, and many don't have parents that can cook worth anything either, and that included me. A little curiosity is all it takes to fix that, though. For those that have never tried, cooking good food is on par with doing magic, so they just assume they can't figure it out and never attempt to learn it.

[–]zaggynl 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wouldn't learning how to cook be priority one or do you expect to live on instant food?

[–]vinniep 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You would think. Being poor helps to motivate that learning experience too. Some people are content scraping by with McDonald's ketchup packets on saltines, though.

Was going off straight pasta with red sauce for a week+ for all my meals. It's good to be home

[–]vinniep 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Get yourself some onion, garlic, and maybe some peppers. Just dice up a few, simmer in a pan, toss with sauce and cooked pasta (penne or similar, not long noodles). What you'll spend in the produce (almost nothing) you'll save in less sauce used AND it tastes 1000x better.

A little cooking makes your food money go a long way. I learned all sorts of things in college, and for a while was exchanging my services with friends in the form of "We make the menu together, you buy the food, I cook the food, we eat the food".

[–]I_suck_at_usernames -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't want to know what a red sauce is made of. You Americans should learn how to make a proper tomato sauce, it's very easy, healthy and with an hour you can make from 6 to 8 servings which you can put in the freezer and use whenever you want.

Once I've been away from home for almost three months. When I came back home and opened the fridge I literally started to crying. A beautiful and full of joy cry.

[–]yqx -3 points-2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't know. There is some sort of cliche that every man in the world loves eating and can't contain himself.

I feel like I'm the only man in the world who doesn't like stuffing myself. I enjoy good food, but after a while I just get fed up (literally) with eating and stop.

[–]excavator12 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

As I get older it becomes harder to distinguish between hunger and boredom. If I'm bored and watching TV, I like to have something good to eat.....or bad to eat....as long as I have something to constantly occupy my hands and mouth.

[–]Bezulba 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

then you are a good man! and probably healthy too!

i have bad days where i just can't stop stuffing myself.. even after the hate sets in.. :'(
