Every summer I get cravings for burgers and fries but I'm so autistic about changing my meals that I don't eat them. I've been eating homemade pizza and pasta for the last 4 years, but last week I finally brought back burgers and fries into the rotation. I bought a Ninja air fryer to cook the fries and it's amazing. It took a couple tries to perfect the potato thickness and oil amount and cooking time, but they turn out perfect now. The burger is just a frozen patty that I fry in a pan, but it still tastes great. Normally I'd make the burgers from scratch and grill them but I need to get a new bbq. So now my meals are 8 days of burger+fries, then 8 days of soft-shell tacos.  |

My new meal obsession is a cut-up chicken thigh over a bed of fried potato chunks over a bed of peas. Easy to make and very cheap. I get a six-pack of bone-in chicken thighs with skin for $10 and remove the skin before cooking (much cheaper than buying boneless+skinless), a 5-pound bag of potatoes for $4.99, and a frozen bag of peas for $3.59 - adding up to $18.58 total, let's say $20 with tax, divided by six meals equals $3.33 per meal. Plus occasional canola oil and seasoning purchases (I use salt+pepper+garlic/onion seasoning on the chicken and potatoes). Per meal that is one chicken thigh, one or two potatoes (depending on size), and one cup of peas.  |

I have to ask because I think you are Canadian?
How often do you make poutine? It is something I have always wanted to try but no one makes it down here.

Wow, racist much? Bro, asking me about ethnic food based on my nationality is at the very least a microaggression. But seriously, I've never made poutine before. Clearly it's more than just combining fries, gravy, and cheese curds, because every time I ate poutine it congealed into a disgusting blob after the first couple bites, so I stopped trying it. But then a couple years ago I went to rural Quebec and tried some poutine from a walk-up poutine window. The prices were crazy, $11 for regular poutine, and they had other flavours that had meat and stuff, but it was amazing and each ingredient stayed separate. I wish I would've tried one of the meat ones because apparently they closed down.  |
