Why the hell is Walmart spinning $2.7 billion of wages increase (if it's even all wages increase) as a bright idea Walmart had? Walmart costs taxpayers $6.2 billion by underpaying their employees! And Walmart is one of the entities feeling a lot of pressure from Fight For $15!

I have seen this same Walmart commercial about the wages at least four times today.

Ooh, yes, true point. I should make fried rice or something this weekend, eat that for work lunches all next week. And maybe figure out how to make proper lo mein.

I mostly eat the frozen entrees when I am experiencing, or have over the weekend experienced, a lack of spoons. So yeah, buying spoons still. Only so much I can do about that, I think.

You're cooking for one. Start small, and build. Make a batch regular rice for 8 or twelve. then freeze it in one-cup servings (I used bowls to shape the piles and then put the frozen rice in a big ziploc in the freezer.

Hot rice, plus "milk" and a little cinnamon/sugar makes a great breakfast. Heats just as fast as nuking water for packaged oatmeal.

A couple of servings of rice, an egg, and some veggies, equals stir fry.

OR, try a meatloaf (if you're not vegetarian/vegan)- BUT separate it into muffin wells and bake about 20mins. Each one is a good serving size, slices well for sandwiches, and they freeze beautifully as "muffins," which keeps them from drying out in the fridge.

EVERY meal you can pop in the freezer saves spoons for LATER. Yell or PM if you want some ideas.

Have not got muffin tin. Yet. But that is easily enough acquired.

There are some great "breakfast omelette muffin" recipes-- that's another way to save spoons, because less than fifteen minutes to make TWELVE servings is WAY more efficient than making ONE meal.

Take it easy, find a few things you like and can have OFTEN, and then change them up as your mood suits. You're getting on top of a new set of skills, so give yourself some extra room to ENJOY the good parts of your new life.

Anything I can suggest that might help you wrest more time for YOURSELF is worth it, so PM if you have any questions.

Gotcha.

Insufficiently brain-equipped now, but later I will definitely PM with questions. Thanks.

Standing offer. I don't mind at all. Just specify which foods you like before I wander off on recipe suggestions, LOL.
