To order a Chinese for the second night in a row?

[icysky]

Going through a really difficult time at the moment. DP working late and was yesterday.

I had a Chinese yesterday and fancy another takeout tonight, possibly even from the same place. Have the change from yesterday’s which would cover a small order. I know it’s not the healthiest thing to do but I am fed up and not sure I can face up to cooking. Usually I am really health conscious and very much watch my diet and not sure it’s very moral to fritter money away on takeout.

YABU - throw something in the oven, you’ll feel better for eating something more substantial

YANBU - get the takeout it’s ok sometimes

I’d get it tbh!

Takeaway is fine.

I’d do it. Maybe mix things up and go for an Indian?

Do it. It sounds like you’re going through the wars a bit.

@moveoverye Indian sounds nice. Not sure what I’d order

You're rookie mistake was not getting enough last night to have leftovers for tonight!

Order the Chinese and enjoy every mouthful!

Your not you're

Thank you @TheWayTheLightFalls

Go for it, order the Chinese and enjoy it.

Just do it

Special fried rice
Kung po chicken
Duck pancakes

Do it and cheer yourself up. Tell us what you're having. I really like Chinese food but for some reason hardly ever have it so I never know what to order and I have to let other people choose for me. So if you tell me you'll be doing me a favour too.

Order and enjoy! Sometimes we all need a pick me up x

Well you don't need permission from strangers to order a takeaway but if it makes you feel better then yes go ahead.

If you can afford it and it will cheer you up, do it.

If you are short of money/ been doing well on a health kick, and will regret having two in a row, don't do it. Have something easy like a fish finger sandwich instead.

YABU for not ordering enough last night 😀

pooh now I want Chinese and not pasta and meatballs….
yes enjoy your takeaway.

Go for it. If it makes you feel any better I had McDonald's for tea on Friday night, then again for breakfast on Saturday and we ended up getting one on Saturday teatime. I'm just saying fuck it & rounding the weekend out with a chippy.

Not sure throwing a pizza or something in the oven is any healthier, so go for it, get a takeaway.

My suggestions

Chow mein (noodles with stuff eg chicken, mushroom, whatever you specify)

Seaweed (as a side. Its not actually Seaweed)

Crispy chilli chicken

Salt and pepper king prawns

Not the end of the world if you have takeaway two nights over a weekend.

We are having Chinese two nights in a row too. Not takeaway. But still two nights of Chinese food in a row. Neither have been high effort cooking either. Tonight is rice with Chinese sausage and steamed veg, which mostly involves putting things in the rice cooker and waiting.

The Chinese takeaway would probably produce a more exciting meal!

I'm getting Chinese too and I had one on Friday

Chips, curry sauce, fried rice.

Ohhhhhh I think I’m gonna order that now! Cheers OP!

Beef with yellow bean sauce and cashews + egg fried rice.
Seaweed as a side or pork balls with sw+sour sauce.

(yellow bean sauce is not yellow it's dark and thick)(yum!)

Absolutely get the takeaway. I wouldn't think twice about it. You can make some healthier choices next week when you feel more up to cooking.

I had two takeaways in one day once when I had the covids..
