Cooking nightmares

Robert124
over 6 years ago

Warning. 

This will sound like an insane rant from a rambling drunk  autistic having a nightmare.

It's see strange how  antxieties (spelling ok ?) from the day enter our dreams and turn them into nightmares.  Imp

I am a poor cook and often buy ready made meals to microwave.

Yesterday, instead of buying a  complete meal for one. I decided to buy and cook the components separately.

In a cheap supermarket I saw cut price, cooked chicken slices and cut price sauce which included veg and spices.

I measured, washed and cooked my own rice.  (I hate the overpriced precooked packages of rice which just need microwave).

I read the chicken instructions carefully.  I'm terrified of getting food poisoning again.  It was pre cooked, cooled and packed in a vacuum.  Packaged in UK but sourced from Brazil. Why Brazil? I thought we had enough chickens here in the UK.

My anxiety levels went through the roof.  Is the meat safe am I going to get poisoning Nauseated face

Ate the whole meal and during the night my nightmares started.

I was shopping at two shops or was I running a shop ?  A rival had cheaper bacon because the had a cheaper source.  My shop burnt down or did it explode because of a chemical reaction in the food. INauseated faceot food from the new source, is it clean?  I don't know?  How did the shop explode/burn down? Which town was I in ?   What year is it?  Nauseated faceSmiling impJapanese ogre

Where am I?

    To "California", mainly...

    Back in the 1980s (...y'know, those Dark Ages before "Internet Forums" like this one...), there was a thing known as "A Square Meal". A Square Meal entailed: Carbohydrates + Protein + Vegetables. (E.G. - Potatoes or Rice + Beef or Chicken + Something Green.)

    Have a go at buying things which are like these, and where you feel "unhealthy", buy something separate and eat that as well, not necessarily cooking it with regards to Fish and Greens. Cooking removes a lot of nutrients, which is why I myself prefer Fish and Vegetables Raw. Never mind the "taste", it is the Minerals which are needed...

    I prefer that someone else can add to (or counter) this advice, yet this advice is a start, maybe... if this is indeed a sort of "Cooking" Thread...?
