There are quite the variety of takoyaki dishes to consider as well. Looks like there are all manner of different preparations. Might be tasty.

Uh
... there's a fierce discussion on the merits of flat-rate vs per-charge-rate battery recharging in the Starfinder section ...
... something 'merits of Deadly Aim' something something ...
oh, and whether or not it's reasonable for starships to pew-pew people. I'm not letting those LAW-rocket totin' sumbyatches not get shot back at!! *shakes fist*

I'm a horrible cook. If it doesn't come from a box or can I'm basically screwed. I have some decent crockpot recipes that I use occasionally, and can bake chicken breasts and make those pretty tasty. But there are times I crave my late mom's salmon patties and the way she fried potatoes (I think she used either Crisco or even lard to do so), but she made the rocking-est fried chicken ever. I see folks posting recipes on here and I'm pretty envious of other peoples' culinary skills. One of the local colleges sometimes offers free adult education classes and cooking is often one of them. The next time they do that I may sign up.

You can do crockpot stuff? AWESOME!!
Here's the challenge for you today/tonight: gather up the ingredients you have available to make the most complex crockpot recipe you have access to. Scrounge from cabinets, whatever you have. Preferably one involving lots of ingredient prep: chopping veggies, peeling and cutting taters, browing some beef, et al.
Once you have the crockpot loaded up, then come up with a few side dishes you know how to do and like. Look up slightly more advanced versions of them, and use your on-hand supplies to make those.
After a raucous evening of making crockpot om-noms and sides, you have a nice handful of ready-to-eat meals you can nuke-n-go!

Nope. That's my spirit animal. In fact, if Paizo had a good Octopus icon I would retire the monkey.

Crock-pot Chili: 3lbs. Ground beef, 2 cans Red Kidney Beans, 2 Jars Tomato sauce, 3 yellow onions. 3 Tablespoons minced Garlic, 2 packets Chili Seasoning.
Brown the ground beef in a skillet. To the Crock-pot put in the Kidney Beans (drained) the Tomato Sauce, The onions (peeled and sliced), the Garlic, and the seasoning packets. Set pot for 6 hours.
When the beef is done (no red anywhere) add to the Crock-pot and stir it in. Continue cooking.
Side dishes: Rice, Bread, Tortilla chips
Optional: serve Chili with grated Cheddar on top.

I think that's the hint.

Also an XMas gift or the like. :)
The reason I keep yappin' about this is my preferred 'self therapy' is digging all of the stuff out of the freezer that at least vaguely resembles meat and grilling all day. Pile up the coal, grab both chimneys, prep and season all the stuffs - oh, corn on the cob is the BEST grilled-in-husk, then slathered with butter and swiftly nomm'd thereafter - and rotate the ginorma stockpiling of da foods for 2-4 weeks. Sometimes this takes a day. Sometimes it takes two days. In the end, the weight is lifted as the vitamin-D deficiency has been cleared up and much chow is available. Pair sides to taste meal-by-meal or day-to-day.
Da nums.
Edit: any parks nearby with hibachis/grilling surfaces? :D

Wonderful!
Do you have any local friends off work tomorrow/the next sunny day in the forecast? Round 'em up, ask 'em to pitch on food, coal and any implements of grilling. Wally World has decent-enough stuff for cheap. Their produce is usually pretty good and reasonably priced. Round up a big cooler or several smaller ones, insert tub o' butter or butter-equivalent, go to one of those automated ice-bag selling machines, load up the coolers to the gills, stuff in tasty beverages and any perishable condiments and take a big ol' chill day.
If you have a game group, make game day GRILLIN' DAY. Eat and be merry!
