Hot take: there is no reason to ever use paper plates for a home meal
Assuming that every house has a dishwasher is a given.  Previous Message don't want to do much or clean up much. Throw the ground beef and seasonings in the pan, chop up some lettuce, onions and tomato and then pull everything else out of the fridge and throw on the island. Wash the pan, the knife and the cutting board and throw away the paper plates. Previous Message A full taco bar with a decent selection of toppings is not a particularly quick meal, although it has that reputation. It’s not beef bourguignon, but as noted, it’s still more work than a basic protein/starch/veggie dinner, for almost any values of protein, starch, and veggie. Of course, I hate to cook and think probably 90% of recipes you see labeled as “quick” or “easy” are waaaaay more work than I ever in my life want to spend on a meal.

Part of the affordability crisis is pretty clearly people just refusing to be thrifty — you should not be spending a quarter of your salary on DoorDash. pic.twitter.com/dq44C11D3B — Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) January 31, 2026 .
