Sorry, NYT, but waiting 15 minutes for water to boil throws off the whole concept of 10-minute rush recipes. - BicBall, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22I can make it to Taco Bell in less than five minutes.

- awldun, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Not raw...the lime juice/cirtus acid cooks it in five minutes.
- FearlessFreep, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8"Meals" implies...well...."Food"
- tizz66, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Do you not own a kettle? Boil water in kettle (90 seconds), put in pan and bring back to boil (10 seconds), insert lobster.
Unless a lobster is one of those things you have to boil from cold. I have no idea. - Kyan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Not a bad article. The one I really liked was also NYT when they told you just what you needed for your kitchen to cook well. The article started out something like "A lot of people buy a lot of expensive cookware and think it will make them better cooks, but they never actually use it and don't cook. People who are great cooks and cook often don't have extra pots and pans, but they have just what htey need. Here is what you need..."
I'd love to find that article again, but my searching on NYT isn't turning it up. anyone remember it? - KyleGoetz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Food isn't an indicator of homosexuality, unless the food is "guy's dick bleu," perhaps.
- br0ck, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8So take 10 minutes and make her a dinner she'll love!
- tizz66, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I got dugg down for suggesting using a kettle? >_< I didn't realise they aren't common though. Boiling water has many uses beyond tea.
- TenebrousX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Ramen noodles
- seasleepy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6FTA: "So here are 101 substantial main courses, all of which get you in and out of the kitchen in 10 minutes or less. (I’m not counting the time it takes to bring water to a boil, but you can stay out of the kitchen for that.)"

- lordmike, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Boil a lobster? Yeah, like I just have live lobsters sitting around my house... "What do you want for dinner, honey?" "Why don't you fetch a lobster form the pool!" What kind of recommendation is that?
- silverchrysalis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5what? you don't have live lobsters in your pool? what kind of digger are you anyhow?
phfft. - Unlegend, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Even if you only spend ten minutes making each of these meals, you're going to spend a heck of a lot of time shopping/storing all of the "simple" ingredients.
- DracoDraconum, on 10/10/2007, -0/+54. Hot Pocket Pizza
5. Hot Pocket Ham and Cheese
6. Hot Pocket Philly Cheesesteak
7. Hot Pocket Barbecue - Unlegend, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Agreed, yes, *some* of them are simple. But I'm in college, and I share a fridge and a kitchen space with roommates, as I'm sure many diggers do. It's a GREAT list for people who have the means, don't get me wrong. However, I personally (and I'm sure I'm not alone here), don't have the cash or room for a gigantic variety of daily ingredients like sea scallops, littlenecks, prosciutto, figs, sardines, eggplants, watercress, lamb, etc.
- Zammie, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6remember when digg use to have things about new technology....
- m3t00, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Three days, then what?
- kelbear, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Did not digg you up because this could be considered blogspam, but on the other hand...
I liked your recommendations better than the first 40 or so in the article because they were simple enough that fresh-from-college nubs like me could imagine pulling it off.
Never even heard of some of the stuff being suggested in the article - kelbear, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Cover your pot. It should not take 15 minutes to boil water. Covering it increases the efficiency of the heat passing through and reduces the time needed to bring it to a boil.
- jedck, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7Most of those recipes don't even look that good. I'd rather do a tuna salad sandwich or some boxed mac and cheese.

Courtesy of bugmenot. - ipxodi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3littlenecks = clams
- tizz66, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Some of them are simple. Who doesn't keep pasta, herbs, oil, tinned tuna etc. around? Even things like chicken you can freeze and just defrost when you need it. There's really not much in the article that needs 'heck of a lot of time shopping/storing'. They're mostly basic foods.
- kitalooclef, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3My favorite easy summer dinner is BLTs with fresh tomatoes from the farmer's market. Simple and refreshing. Eat it with some corn on the cobb for summer perfection. Mmm
- miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3After a good, rolling boil--so you don't hear their little cries!
- bilbravo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Because it's so much cooler outside? :-)
- FloppyLlamaDigg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Dummy account anyone?
- m3t00, on 10/10/2007, -4/+7Ok, This is Lame.
- tizz66, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I agree with you that none of these 'quick' recipe articles ever takes into account preparation time, but a good hint is sit in front of the TV and do your preparation :) Take a tray to the living room and peel veg or whatever while watching something. Removes the dullness factor from it.
- seasleepy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Kettles are not particularly common in American kitchens, compared to other countries. They have a strong association with tea here, so people only tend to buy them if they like tea (which is unfortunate because they're very handy for other things too, like boiling water for pasta or so on).
I believe you put the lobster in the pot only after it's boiling. - po43292, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Sashimi-grade scallops= more or less safe to eat.
http://www.catalinaop.com/Jumbo_Scallops_U_6_p/sushi_shellfish_2a1.htm - Emmo213, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4FTA: "74 Canned sardines packed in olive oil on Triscuits, with mustard and Tabasco."
This is not a meal. This is a snack. A bad-tasting snack at that.
Infact most of these are not "substantial main courses". - miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Yeah--like what the hell are "littlenecks".
- bamapachyderm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I like your menu, but really, isn't that a lot of work? Food isn't worth ***** if it's not ready to eat out of the package, 'cause I don't have a microwave next to my computer.
- jennamarquez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Fast food's what's wrong with this world. I'd rather spend my day on peekamo than cook these meals, though.
- kablaaamo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I'm with you. I love cooking and keep a bunch of things in my house's common kitchen...but a lot of the ingredients are beyond my normal means. "Boil a lobster"? Wouldn't that be nice!
- bamapachyderm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Carbs rock.
