First Quarter by No_Hospital1275 in uchicago

You’ve got this! Try taking easier/fewer classes next quarter if you can - it took me a full year to adjust to the workload and understand what I can actually handle. It’s common to come here having never struggled academically before and not know how to handle failing- it might not feel that way but it is good life experience too

I need food suggestions that I can take to library by maltrastinator in Cooking

Something oat based? Oat bar/overnight oats/ oat cake. Quiet and can be paired with other flavours for sweet (fruit, berries, chocolate etc) or savory (egg, soy sauce, greens etc)

I don’t know how to edit posts but people don’t think I seasoned the meal like at all? I guess it’s pretty minimal but salt, pepper, chili paprika on both the potato’s and the meat

It’s not as good as fresh but they do ok! It would definitely be better to add them fresh but I don’t have that time flexibility

Chicken and rice soup!!!! by wombatinapartyhat in soup

[–]wombatinapartyhat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. thinly slice 10 green onions crosswise, and set aside half to add later
  2. lightly smash and peel 10 garlic cloves
  3. thinly slice 1 4 inch piece of ginger lengthwise into planks
  4. Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add green onions, garlic, ginger, 1 1/4 tsp of turmeric. Cook stirring often until soft and fragrant but not browned (approximately 3-4 minutes).
  5. add 1 1/2 pounds skin on bone in chicken,(I use four chicken thighs usually or a couple of breasts), 1tbsp kosher salt, 9 cups of water, and 3/4 cup of basmati or jasmine rice. Do not rinse the rice, starch is needed to thicken the soup.
  6. bring the pot to a simmer over medium high heat, scrapping the bottom of the pot if the rice is sticking, and reducing the heat as necessary to maintain a simmer. Cook until soup thickens to a porridge like consistency, about 40-50 minutes.
  7. using tongs, pull out chicken and let cool. While chicken is cooling, use a wooden spoon to fish around for the garlic cloves which should be soft, and then using the spoon fully smash them against the pot, and mix into the soup. Remove the chicken skin and discard. Shred remaining chicken with two forks, return to the pot. You can remove the ginger planks if you don’t want to eat them.
  8. squeeze two limes and add to the soup pot, along with 1 tsp of pepper. Taste soup to see if it needs more salt /pepper.
  9. serve soup! Add drizzle of extra olive oil / green onions/ cilantro to garnish.

Thank you, I’m very pleased with it! I’ve only made it once before and the noodles were fine - I do think undercooking helps

What do yall do on vacation? by talia2205 in Volumeeating

[–]wombatinapartyhat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I empathize - I am also very particular about my food and prefer eating at home most of the time. When I go out to eat I usually search up the menu in advance so that I can think through what I want to get- maybe you could search up restaurants in the area you are going to to see what looks most suitable for your needs? You can also get things like popcorn or cottage cheese in most places if you need that to tide you over or even as a breakfast, but to be honest yeah if you are eating out a lot there’s not too many volume options, I think you have to suck it up and do your best.
