(Ref: convo on old dis entitled “I wish there was a Tupperware on the market that was big(long) enough to fit my fork in after I’d finished eating, but not so big that my lunch was shaking round like balls in a tombola in my bag en route to work” I Wish / Social // Drowned In Sound)
I have found the solution. It turns out the problem all along was not the tupperware but the fork.
I think the tupperware people deserve acknowledgement that lengthening a lunch box would imperfecticise it’s utility, and it’s the fork people who need to take action.
I had leftover shakshuka. Anyone got a strong shakshuka game? I have a problem that the eggs always take far longer to cook than I think they should, and it’s therefore impossible to keep them runny. I came up with the theory last night that I need to pre-heat my dish otherwise it cools the sauce which consequently makes the egg cook slower.
never actually thought of that. It feels wrong but I can’t think of a good reason not to do it. I guess you wouldn’t get that nice set tomato-y base for the egg, and that feels more than just an aesthetic thing
problem with that right, is that the box is going to last until the end of time, but I’m probably going to snap the fork on (optimistically) its third outing.
then where does that leave you? shit’s creek with nae utensils
