Meals when I live alone.
It's already been two and a half years since I started living on my own. It's not like I can't cook. I can manage a bit, but I just don't. Why? Because dealing with food waste is a pain, and whenever I buy groceries, I never manage to use everything up, some always go bad.
ひとり暮らしになってもう2年半が経つ。料理ができないわけではない。多少はできる。だけどしない。なぜかって生ゴミの処理は面倒だし、食材を買っても絶対に全部使い切らないでダメにしちゃうから。
So, my dinners are basically all delivery these days. I usually order from Uber Eats, though sometimes I feel like going out on a whim. I skip breakfast and just have a jelly drink, and I usually don't eat lunch at all. But lately, I've been craving bread in the morning, so I bought a toaster oven since I didn't have one. And though I usually skip lunch, sometimes when I get really hungry, I buy savory bread or croquettes from a convenience store and eat them.
そんなわけで毎日の夕食はデリバリー三昧。Uber Eats で頼むか、たまーに気まぐれに外に出て食べるか。朝はごはんは食べずにゼリー系飲料で済ませちゃうし、昼は普段は食べない。ただ最近、朝ごはんにパンを食べたいって思うこともあって、うちにはオーブンがなかったからオーブントースターを買ってみた。あと昼は食べないけど、よっぽどお腹空いている時はコンビニでパンとかコロッケとか買ってきて食べていることもある。
But with this kind of lifestyle, there's only so much I can order from Uber Eats, and I was getting a bit tired of it, so I decided to try out a meal delivery service that I'd been curious about for a while. It's called "nosh".
ただこんな生活を続けていると、さすがに Uber Eats で頼めるものも限られるし、そういうのにも飽きてきて・・・ちょっと前から気になっていた宅食サービスを使ってみることにした。nosh。
They send us frozen bento meals (everything except for the rice). First of all, I like that there's no waiting time for delivery like with Uber Eats. Lately, depending on the restaurant, it's really hard to predict how long the wait will be with Uber Eats.
Since nosh is delivered frozen, we can't really do drop-off delivery like with Uber Eats, but if we just set it to arrive every two weeks when we know we'll be home, it shouldn't be that big of an issue.
冷凍された弁当（白米以外のおかず）が送られてくるんだけど。まず Uber Eats みたいに配達までの待ち時間がないのはいい。最近 Uber Eats の待ち時間、お店によってはホント読めなくて。
nosh は冷凍の宅配便で届くから置き配とかできないんだけど、まあ二週間に一度とか絶対家にいる時間に配送を設定していればそんなには困らないんじゃないかな。
It came today, so here's my quick review after giving it a try. Honestly, it was pretty good. When I looked up some information online beforehand, I saw people saying the portions were small. But for me, one of the meals plus 200g of white rice was just enough to fill me up. To be honest, I'm pretty satisfied.
今日届いたので早速食べた感想。ん、普通においしかった。事前にウェブで情報を集めていた時に量が少ないとか見かけていたんだけど、自分は 200g の白米と弁当ひとつでちょうどいい感じにおなかいっぱい。正直、かなり満足した。
There's the peace of mind that comes from always having food stocked at home without having to order delivery. That's really nice too. Another thing I like is that the containers and lids are both made of paper, so there's very little waste from each meal. If it were plastic containers inside plastic bags, the garbage would pile up really fast. Finally, after actually ordering 10 meals, I realized that my freezer is completely full with just 10 meals. It's possible to order 20 meals at once, but there's no way I could fit more than 10 in my freezer.
That's my food life in my third year of living alone.
See you then.
デリバリーとか注文しなくても常に自宅に食事のストックがある安心感。これもいい。あと容器も紙製で蓋も紙、一食で出るゴミも最小限なのもいい。プラ製の袋の中にプラ製の容器、とかだとゴミがすぐにいっぱい出てしまう。最後に実際に10食分注文してわかったのは、うちの冷凍庫は10食で満タンになってしまうってこと。20食とか一気に頼むこともできるんだけど、10食以上は絶対に冷凍庫に入らないや。
そんな、ひとり暮らし3年目の食生活。
ほなまた。
