I don't have a microwave, but I usually make meatballs/burgers in the oven. It takes longer but it works just as well. I tend to use a bit of chopped onion and some seasoning, though; I don't enjoy the pure minced beef flavour.
I've also found that IKEA (of all places) sell a yummy and fatty bearnaise sauce that is great with meat. I usually buy a small stash whenever I'm there. :)
That's cool. I don't have the energy for longer cooking, so anything microwaveable and low-carb is a godsend, to me:). And I like that onion and seasoning stuff too. I should've mentioned that I usually slather a bit of soy sauce over the burgers when they're cooked:).
Great quick recipe! I've had real health improvements going very low carb. I've got all kinds of fun doctor-befuddling PCOS screwed-up hormone shit going on, and low carb is the only thing that keeps me from spending three-quarters of the month in bed in agony. I hope it makes life better for you too!
Yeah, it is a good thing indeed. I first went on it in 1999 and managed to get normalweight, but it's insanely hard to stick to if you don't have that much money or energy, so I've gained all my extra weight back over the past ten years (oh, and antidepressants that make you hungry and fuck up your insulin didn't help either). Bloody carbs are everywhere. But I'm slowly getting back on track and at least I'm not gaining more weight. I'm going to be poked and prodded for more PCOSy stuff next week and I'm not looking forward to that, but ah well...
When I was ten or younger, and would have been quite keem to learn to cook, my mother thought that I was too young. Then when I was a teenager, and she thought that she ought to teach me something about cooking, I wasn't at all receptive to the idea. No doubt at that age I thought that cooking was only for females. :( Or maybe it was just idleness. At school, only the girls were taught domestic science. I wish now that the boys had been taught it as well, but we had to do woodwork instead (at which I was useless). That was back in the 1960s, and I'm sure that things are very different now.
It doesn't have that much to do with whether you've been taught to cook or not. Most cooking enthusiasts I know are self-taught, and quite a few of them are male. But yeah, I know that phenomenon of guys not knowing how to do any household stuff because they've always expected their mums/girlfriends/wives to do it for them, and that sucks. That attitude is still all over the place, sadly (I had to tell my first boyfriend to darn his own fucking socks, thankyouverymuch). But it's not all just a question of motivation or attitude, either. I'm simply too ill and tired to do much cooking, and generally loathe household chores because they are so draining, and I want to conserve what little energy I have left for things that are more important than that (like taking care of the cat or something).
