To Joan, cooking is a chore, not a joy. Heck, she cooks hamburgers
ahead of time to be rewarmed over the next few days. Quality is a

Pre-cooking hamburgers to reheat? Not a chance. I can get fresh
hamburgers at McD's less than a mile from here. *They* have higher
standards than Joan. She isn't an invalid. She's just lazy.
I'm about 14 years older than you and I don't cook a lot of things I did
10 or 15 years ago. My guess is you won't either in the future. Enjoy your superiority while it lasts.
She cooks. She just prioritizes easy over good. If I get too old to
cook, I won't cook. I won't start cooking in a shitty way.>
Comparing a real hamburger to the slabs of stuff at McD is a bit of a
joke too. Mine reheated are better than theirs fresh.
The slabs are 100% USDA inspected ground beef. Sure, they're tiny (1/10
lb), but they're freshly cooked. There's nothing unreal about them. What exactly makes a hamburger real? There is nothing good about a reheated hamburger, no matter how good it started out.>
You've mentioned you often prepare meals for your in-laws. Do you do
that because they are lazy too?
My f-i-l will be 90 next summer, and m-i-l is 87. She was never
particularly into cooking. She just did it because that's what wives
were expected to do. Folks who post to this NG *are* ostensibly into
cooking. She did start cooking worse. She quit cooking.>
May you live long enough to become lazy!
I'm lazy about plenty of things, but not cooking. If I didn't like to
cook, I would never have started posting here. The only other NG I've
posted much to is alt.punk, and occasional posts to alt.food.fast-food.
There is a lot of fast food that I'd prefer over some of the crap posted
here. Popeyes bone-in spicy chicken is the best fried chicken I've ever
had, and I've had A LOT of fried chicken. Their red beans&rice, Cajun
gravy and biscuits are good too. Del Taco's bean&cheese green burrito
with extra green sauce is great. There's a chain here called Lion's
Choice that makes spectacular roast beef sandwiches. McD's has some good items, like their breakfast sandwiches. The regular burgers and the
Spicy McChickens are pretty good, and the Quarter Pounders are made from
never frozen ground beef. A Steak 'n Shake Double Steakburger is
excellent, they have great chili, and their shoestring fries are fried
in pure beef tallow. Hardee's burgers are good too if you order them
sans sauce, and both Steak 'n Shake and Hardee's have real milkshakes.
Steak 'n Shake has a half price happy hour on shakes from 2-4PM, M-F.
Any of the items mentioned in this paragraph are better than day old, reheated, air fryer hamburgers.

Another place in your area that is not fast food, but looks really good
is this.
