These DIY Dinners Would Sure Look Delicious In A Numeric List
I own this image, but not the sunscreen

The internet is home to a wealth of knowledge. Whether it's what bread is best or how to make girls to like you without considering your own behavior and personality profile, the internet has you covered. One distraction I see frequently is food recipes. Hella recipes. Recipes so easy, anyone can make them, but they look like some Bobby Flay! Do-it-yourself dinners (or DIY dinners for my breev crowd) are all the rage and will be forever, so you might as well get used to it now if you haven't already. I'll share some of the DIY dinners I've perused over the net because stealing content is how I will get where I want to be on this Earth. Hope you're hungry. This is normally where I would put the last sentence of the introductory paragraph that would make this similar to an Onion or Clickhole article to create some tongue-in-cheek or absurdity that reinforces the punchline of the headline, but I'm tapped out.

My enthusiasm has dwindled to a level where the only thing I currently find funny is a dog from Pompeii saying "Hey kid! Get me outta this thing, huh?!" in an Arkham City accent. These dinners are going to be in a numeric list, betraying my funny headline, but it doesn't matter because some of these meals exist as far I know. They definitely could but I didn't check because I don't like the internet. I don't even know if it's appropriate to capitalize the "I" and I don't really care that much anymore.


1. Corn on the job

So that's what he meant by DIY. Yes, this corn recipe involves cooking corn in a slow-cooker while you're at work. It's very simple. Technically the slow-cooker does all the work, but you have to turn it on, therefore doing it yourself. Machines can't add butter for you unless it's like that little butter robot from Rick and Morty. I can't remember its name. You can look it up if you want to know, I have faith in you. Anyway, I would wear gloves and rub oil and spices up and down the corn before you put it in the slow-cooker. My dad made a tandoor using these instructions that creates excellent corn on the cob, but you can't have a tandoor running at work unless you work in a restaurant that uses a tandoor.

2. Stirred fry stir-fry

A stir-fry made of french fries that are cooked in a wok with vegetables. Stir vigorously until just-limp. This recipe probably doesn't exist yet, but you could do it. Else it wouldn't be on this list. In the least humorous way possible, I wonder if wearing this headset while it's storming outside will fry my brain? Dying while listening to "Go Gina" wouldn't be too bad. It's a song by SZA. I like it a lot!

3. A Pop-Tart sandwich where the buns are pop-tarts and the filling is peanut butter or frosting or whatever you can handle on a Friday night

Everything I've written had led to this moment. Everything, even Street Week, pales in comparison to the magnitude of going public with my Pop-Tart dream when I ate a peanut butter Pop-Tart sandwich as described above. It's not dinner, but what is dinner anyway? It's an evening meal. You can eat whatever you want. You really think someone would bat an eye if you said this was dessert? But call it dinner and the death threats pour in.

4. A grilled please

This is mine. It's cottage cheese mixed with peanut butter, then I put it on some bread and grill it to make me feel less disgusting. Something about watching this inexcusable sammie sizzle all by itself on a skillet makes me feel like it could be passed off as something people eat. You can defininitely do this yourself and it's really easy.

5. People have been cooking their chicken medium rare

Have you seen this? It's probably not safe. By all means, though. You can do it yourself. I'm pretty sure the posts about eating medium rare chicken are jokes, but that hasn't stopped people on the internet from making videos about it and trying to get as many jokes in as possible, sometimes calling the original poster a bitch or some other insult, spreading malice. Now it sounds like I eat raw chicken. Don't do it yourself.


Every day I get older. This is settling in and time is running out to reach my potential. My biggest fear is dying before I'm supposed to. Keep your chin up and do it yourself. I'm going to go listen to Grimes.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
