I tend to do it by cooking extra portions for dinner each night and taking in that portion/leftovers the next day, that way there is no meaningful extra work.

And if we have time to plan on a weekend i like to do a meal that i can cook a big batch on a sunday that will reheat well, ie: chili (as you said), lasagna, spaghetti bolognese, thai curry, stir fry with rice, etc.

Edit: also wanted to note that yes buying lunch occasionally is super tasty but i feel much worse afterwards that afternoon, and it has also pushed me to step up my cooking skills and think i am quite good for a home cook now.

Ah yes, Australia

Also the difference in wow factor.
Its “we are making an even faster, better and more stealthy plane than all the previous ones we have” vs “we are convincing the entire world that we are leaving our actual planet to fly through space and land on the moon”. One of these is a significantly more juicy secret to impress someone with.

Ah i see we think alike. Except i would have it during a live video and make it look like he ‘accidentally’ topped out. People would be like “he… he actually just fell out of a window”
