This is a computer forum...it's obvious.
Pizza and Coke.
Give me your geek card, I'm going to punch it. The soda of choice is always,
ALWAYS Mountain Dew. The only thing Coke is good for is a mixer with rum or cheap whiskey. The non-IT world runs on coffee by the way, lots more caffeine, way cheaper, and it won't make you fat like the stereotypical helldesk operator. One Monster pounder that a nerd might knock back has about as much caffeine as a smallish cup of coffee (160 mg.) You know you are in one of a select few sucky professions when you start to measure your coffee consumption not in cups per day but in pots per day. For example, your local hospital weathers natural disasters, multiple drug shortages, JCAHO and CMS site visits, and legions of hypochondriacs and drug seekers with nary the bat of an eye. But take away their coffee and the entire works grinds to a screeching halt. Been there, raided the sample cabinets for ibuprofen because of it...
Most dinner recipes are pretty simple and do not take long to prepare. My wife likes to look for recipes in Cook's Magazine (highly recommended) and allrecipes.com. If you can follow instructions to assemble a computer, you can assemble a meal, it's pretty simple. Don't substitute ingredients, use good ingredients (e.g. actual fruits and vegetables) and don't overcook and you're 95% of the way there.
