    Fortunately I married someone who can cook better than anyone I’ve ever met and they’re frugal. Every meal is centered around whatever main ingredient is going to go bad first to ensure we don’t throw away food, ever (and any scraps we do have leftover get fed to the chickens to produce more butt nuggets and meat).

    These days the quality of food at restaurants has gone way down and one can often cook a much better meal at home. Like we have gone to a few hole-in-the wall places with pretty decent food, and then we have gone to pretentious up-scale places where the prices are 3x higher than normal and the food was still only mediocre - even fancy yacht club restaurants where almost everyone is stuck up and acts like they’re better then the staff have terrible food. I have to laugh that they think it’s worth $50 for a cheesburger when it tastes no better than what I could get from Applebees (at least they could have used higher quality beef for the burger! Nope - sysco special).

    ChatGPT really helps make things easier for even novice cooks like myself - just tell it what you have and ask for suggestions then directions.

    Honestly I don’t miss going out for food and paying those dumb ridiculous prices
