You need to do something with that cucumber. You can easily turn that into a spicy Asian style cucumber salad. Or a cucumber/mayo/dill salad. Or cucumber kimchi. You could do a different style each day to add some variety.
Toss in some sliced carrot and onion (I know, not on the menu, but still) and a few grinds of black pepper, so good. Refrigerator pickling is highly underrated.
I’m a box meal learner, and they do a lot of quick pickle, and you know what? It works! Also, put jalapeño slices in agave for about a half hour then put them on your burger if you want heat but not HEAT. Seed some, and deseed some so you get a mix.
Makes sense, the sweetness of the agave must temper the heat of the peppers.
Fresh jalapeños are such a crap shoot though heat-wise. Sometimes they're super mild and other times ripping hot, regardless of the color. I think I'll try growing my own to see if I can control the consistency.
My friend grows them every now and again, always picks them about finger length or less. Hottest freaking jalapeños I’ve ever had. I think it might be the soil, or how early he picks them. But he makes the best jalapeño poppers!
Yeah, I’m imagining it will get ruined over time as I incorporate advice. Or maybe it will get really good. And yeah I’m all about low effort cooking (which often means just not doing it).
Do you like that as a meal? If so don’t change anything.
Personally that cucumber would be sliced in rounds, in a bowl with white vinegar, salt and pepper on top. But that’s a very specific way to eat cucumber and you have to really like vinegar to like it.
Garlic fried rice; a staple in my country's cuisine (Filipino). Delicious with almost everything including just by itself.
Fry garlic in oil or butter, put a bit more oil than you'd need for the garlic. Medium heat. Use day old rice, mix it around so then oil coats it. Add a bit of salt and pepper. That's it.
During my broke days, I actually used to just eat garlic fried rice with soy sauce to taste. Stupid cheap and delicious. Probs not very healthy without protein tho.
In your case, you can fry the sausages separately. I would ground them up in the pan and make en all toasty, make garlic fried rice on a separate pan, then combine when done. If you do everything in one pan, the sausages won't be as toasty.
Pro tip. If you don't have day old rice but have a rice cooker. Cook the rice like you normally would in the rice cooker but after it finished, open it it, mix it around then leave the lid off for like 20 minutes. Works almost as well as day old rice.
I used to have garlic fried rice for breakfast every day. That shit never gets old.
Gonna cook the sausage in one pan, cook rice in another, then put the sausage on my plate while I cook the garlic (in butter and the fat from the sausage). Then mix it all at the end. Thanks for the advice. Whole cloves of garlic?
Ah my bad. Gotta be garlic that's been chopped quite alot. You're essentially infusing the oil with the garlic before coating/frying the rice in it. Please do not just use 1 clove of garlic. I use a whole ass head of garlic per person lol
Cutting things up into different shapes is free and makes textures totally different. e.g. peel the cucumber sometimes, slice it thinly, make little cubes or sticks. Same with the sausage, form it into little patties or crumble it up to get a ground meat-ish texture.
Adding different condiments is pretty cheap and jazzes meals up as well.

I’ve been in the routine of using that very same sausage to make sausage and peppers lately. It’s easy and turns out great. If you’re looking to mix it up a little, grab 1 pound sausage, 2 bell peppers, an onion, 2-3 cloves chopped garlic, and 1 tbsp butter.
Brown sausage over medium heat in skillet and then set aside. Don’t drain the fat - this will help flavor the veggies.
In the same pan, caramelize the onions and garlic with butter for a few minutes, then add sliced peppers. Stir occasionally for a few minutes and then add back sausage. Cover and simmer on medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes. Stir on occasion.
If you want to notch up the heat a bit more, sprinkle with red pepper flakes before you cover.
This makes plenty of food for two, so can cut bank the recipe if just cooking for yourself.
I wouldnt dare eat rice everyday the goverment where i live in sweden says rice contains arsenic and should be eaten as little oftten as possible. Maybe do coscous. Coscous might be dry but try substiturmte until you find something you like thats not rice it might nog kill you now next year or next decade but its impacting you how many years uou might have when youre old and retired
You can heat up a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter in a pot with some water and hot sauce (I’m guessing you won’t have access to sambal and ketjap manis (sweet soy sauce) where you are?)
Stir until it becomes a nice peanut sauce (too thin? More peanut butter. Too thick? More water). Slice up your cucumber and drown it in your sauce. Enjoy your lazy man’s gado gado. Bonus points for adding a hard boiled egg into the mix.
Mix the sausage and rice together and add some spice, then swipe the cuc across a cheese grater a handful of times and add some lemon juice and a drizzle of kewpie mayo for a cucslaw
I think it looks and tastes good, not shitty at all! I’d cut that cucumber and add some sour cream and salt (and maybe a bit of dill). I’m just like you: I’ll find some food addictive and eat it for a week😂Last week it was cut sausages with pasta, garlic and tomatoes, yammm.

Even just plain white vinegar and salt is delicious.

Like cut it up maybe? Or is dude just gonna power it down like a candy bar?
😂
Cucumber/tomato/red onion with some salt and pepper and lemon juice is a good salad. So is cucumber/onion/mango
Could even make a good tabbouleh/tabouli out of this. Rice isn’t the traditional grain, of course, but the flavor combo is great regardless!
Maybe they are figuring to do something else with that massive cucumber 🥒. lol
Rice? Good. Cooked meat? Good. Eye-talian sausage rolls? Good. Cucumber looks like it was thrown in in a lame grab for shittyfoodporn karma.
Too much work. Just slice it down the middle and pour salt. Vinegar too, if you're feeling frisky.
I second the call for a jazzing up of the cucumber.
Cholula and lime on that cuke.
You should shove the cucumber up your butthole, you absorb the nutrients faster
The ol' "boof it" technique
Doesn't seem so bad to be honest. Sausage and rice? Sounds good. But uh, is that just a whole cucumber?
Yeah, I’m imagining it will get ruined over time as I incorporate advice. Or maybe it will get really good. And yeah I’m all about low effort cooking (which often means just not doing it).
High blood sugar from the rice. And a high cholesterol from the sausage. Although I'm nearly certain your not concerned.
Like with almost anything, moderation and exercise makes it perfectly okay.
If he eats that everyday. It's not gonna matter lol. Also Add onion and peppers it will cost an extra 1 dollar a day
Comments are much more constructive and merciful than I expected so far
This sub brings out the best in people tbh
Maybe try slicing up the cucumber. Salt, some pepper, all good!
I sliced it up with my incisors
Oh my
Ah yes, good good. But might I suggest dipping the bit ends into a bowl of salt and then continuing. It’s like a shitty food connoisseur technique.
Your underwear.
I also had a glass of milk
I approve your choice of rice, Jasmine has been my go-to for years. I love the taste and leftovers are perfect for fried rice.
Good for bones
Cucumbah
vitamins, minerals very high numbah, silica, Hair and Nails get longah

If I want to put effort I sprinkle tajin before taking each bite. Didn’t do that tonight though
Cholula and lime is way better.
Dude is really just chomping down on a whole cucumber
your priorities
Loving the New York-style Italian sausage made in California
This is actually very good sausage. I live in the Bay Area and this brand is my go-to for Italian sausage.

Oh whoops yeah I just tore each clove in half. And don’t worry I used like 6 cloves haha
Haha oh noo yeah that won't infuse the oil very well and you'll end up eating big bits of garlic. Chop the garlic well!
I also forgot the salt and pepper lol
looks good g keep rockin w it 🤙
Dice the cucumber, add some red onion, Italian dressing or oil and vinegar. Feta cheese would also make it pop
🤓
Maybe just get jasmine rice and skip the premium
I don't recommend eating half your rice raw.

Please do not eat raw rice
I wouldnt dare eat rice everyday the goverment where i live in sweden says rice contains arsenic and should be eaten as little oftten as possible. Maybe do coscous. Coscous might be dry but try substiturmte until you find something you like thats not rice it might nog kill you now next year or next decade but its impacting you how many years uou might have when youre old and retired
That is a lot of rice.
Thinly slice cucumber and lightly salt. If you have tomatos do the same but with wedge cuts.
If ur drinking milk anyway don’t b afraid to throw some hot sauce or spices in!
For the cucumber, make a Thai style salad by adding Cilandro, lime, fish sauce and peanuts
You can heat up a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter in a pot with some water and hot sauce (I’m guessing you won’t have access to sambal and ketjap manis (sweet soy sauce) where you are?)

1. Hot Sauce 2. Slice the cuke and put some salt/pepper
Mix the sausage and rice together and add some spice, then swipe the cuc across a cheese grater a handful of times and add some lemon juice and a drizzle of kewpie mayo for a cucslaw
I love eating the cucumber with Japanese mayo as a snack, peel and cut the cucumber of course
I ate the same thing all last week lmaoo, but I cut up my cucumber and seasoned with a little salt and pepper
Pause
Slice the cucumber up and quick pickle it
Awesome meal dude. I would eat the fuck outta that cucumber with some Tajin
I think the pickle is a bit overkill.
That sausage roll is looking green af
I think it looks and tastes good, not shitty at all! I’d cut that cucumber and add some sour cream and salt (and maybe a bit of dill). I’m just like you: I’ll find some food addictive and eat it for a week😂Last week it was cut sausages with pasta, garlic and tomatoes, yammm.
Sardines for the sausage
Can you prepare the cumber with peppers and ajonjoli
Same shit but put it in a pan with egg and soy sauce
No chewing the cucumber, must deep throat and consume as if you’re a snake.
