i think you could try curry packets and be very happy

i found a good packet sauce
Coco Ichibanya Curry Instant Japanese Curry Very Spicy Pork 6.34oz(180g) Pack Of 10 , just heat up in water for 6mins, then all you need to do is add some rice, make a chicken/pork katsu and microwave some carrots and potatoes. if you want to go the extra mile, you can slow cook the carrots and potatoes in curry broth, just a cup of water and add 2 tbls of curry powder
We do similar but for vege I generally rough dice an onion and a couple cups of frozen pea/carrot/green bean/carrot mix from Costco.

We don’t usually have cabbage around but I’ll sometimes throw in spinach or spinach/kale/chard touch chop.

Asian markets for days here in southern California.

Been looking up recipes. I have a cookbook that has nearly everything, had it from before the internet was popular. 1145 pages. It's nice to find details on how to make a certain sauce or such. Of course I get distracted easily.

75th anniversary of the Joy of Cooking, 4500 recipes. While flipping through the index to see cornish hens I noticed they had 3 pages of Christmas stuff in the index and most of it I had never heard of. Get to the page and apparently I cooked something off the list before, it was turned down.

My mom has 3 Joy of Cooking editions, one she has had forever as I remember and one that’s a breast cancer awareness edition and she got a new one a few years ago- she uses all 3.

I got The New Professinal Chef book that I picked up in the 90s for like $100. And its about that big, has tons of recipes and instructions. I pick shit out of there all the time to make when shit gets boring around the house.
