What the f*ck should I make for dinner? - teh intarwebs knows.

This is awesome. I get so paralyzed by food-oriented decisions that I'd rather not eat.

However, 4 of the first 5 options were fluffy baked eggs with vegetable hash. The 5th was Brunswick Stew, and I have no idea what that is.

I got "woked spinach and feta cheese", which I've never heard of but totally have in the fridge, s'okay, that's sorted then.

...oh and now I got: I'D SAY EAT SHIT, BUT THAT WOULDN'T BE HELPFUL, HOW ABOUT SOME FUCKING
SPANISH WHITE BEANS WITH SPINACH

This made me chuckle. It also made me a little hungry.

Brunswick Stew is one of the more inspired creations of Southern Cuisine. My late father-in-law made one helluva pork and squirrel stew.

I need one of these for "WHAT THE FUCK SHOULD I BUY FOR LUNCH?".

So......what the fuck should I make for dinner?? I have ground turkey. But nothing Mexican, we've had Mexican twice this week. And nothing with pasta or a lot of bread, so not sloppy joes or macaroni/beef type stuff or burgers. Help!

ico, I had some ground turkey and smooshed it up in a cuisinart with scallions, garlic and some gorgonzola cheese and made turkey burgers, with all the trimmings, on whole grain buns.

Is that something that would fly in your house?

Or reading your entire comment, you could do open-faced ones with a half bun.

Actually that's a good idea, danf. Them's what want buns can have 'em and thems what don't, can go without. It's nice here, and putting burgers on the grill sounds like a good idea.

Oh, danf, that sounds delicious. If the buns are too much bread, ico, you could plate the burgers with a little sauce (a pan sauce made with a splash of wine or stock + lemon juice, for example). That would be fabulous with just a salad or vegetable, to avoid starchy stuff as you like. Or rather than shaping into burgers, you could make a meatloaf and serve slices.

Mmmm....burgers. Or you could stuff some peppers. I looove stuffed peppers.

I have so much love for this site, thanks dabitch. Especially the part where I forgot to turn off my scriptblocker and it was all like 'YOU BROKE THE FUCKING INTERNET, HIT REFRESH!'

having a seriously shitty day over here, and that just charmed me to the depths of my cynical little black heart, it did
