I spend way too much time in the kitchen

That dish does not look like it is so difficult to throw together, one of the prerequisites of cooking well is to have something on hand to cook with. If you want to eat well then you will have to stock up. Some people I know have bare cupboards or cupboards full of Kraft macaroni.
It being winter I made this. I use beacon rendering instead of olive oil to brown the chicken, depth of flavour.

It does look rather tasty. I remember as a teenager making Coq au Van at a friends house when his parents were away. There was no red wine in the house so we used his mom's home made white elderberry wine with some red food colouring. Lets just put it this way, it looked like the Coq had been hit by the Van Still it tasted good.
Sometimes if I come home late in the evening and do not feel like cooking, even a can of Campbell soup can be a something different. I put the can of soup into a pot with a can of water and get it boiling. I throw a handful of frozen peas and carrots into it and crack two eggs into it then put the cover on and let it simmer. After a quick shower you have a meal in a pot. You can also throw in some left over rice or pasta into the soup.
Another quicky meal is a can of Ministrone soup in the pot and get it boiling, throw in a bowl of uncooked fussili pasta into the pot turn down and let simmer for half an hour. Handful of frozen peas and carrots optional.

Notice all the hot chicks complimenting spacealien2. There's a lesson in here somewhere, gents....
Well done SA2! :thumb:
In my experience, women really appreciate a man that knows his way around a kitchen...
I've been known to prepare a fine meal for my lady friends on occasion... and they always bring dessert! :eyebrows:

Yup, chicks dig food.
But unlike men, they shit ice cream and their farts smell like roses.
Many women are moving away from the traditional role of cooking because it's supposedly oppressive.
Many cannot even boil water and so a man that can cook is very convenient, if he can vacuum, do the dishes and take care of he kids even better.
Women will never stop trying to reverse their traditional roles and try taking on the traditional roles currently held by men.
It's evident right now with more women excelling academically than men and graduating from higher learning.
