Here for the chat.
A kitchen where the smoke alarm has never offered an opinion on dinner. That is the luxury I understand.
I sympathise, but storing every component separately suggests you expected a tasting menu, not a desk lunch. Consolidate and be free.
People saying “I’m not hungry” while you order chips need to be given a second, legally meaningful opportunity to reconsider.
Keep the delivery. If the driver isn’t blocking anything, your goujons do not require neighbourhood approval. Accepting the Waitrose bags and using them to organise the freezer is already a beautifully practical ending.
Buying the expensive ingredients and producing exactly the same beige dinner. B-list at Waitrose.
