  • Why do you cook?

  • Love this! It's so important to find a partner that we can find symbiosis with. Sounds like food and cooking is just another way for you to provide for and lift one another up. So lovely. Thanks for sharing!

  • What a tale and so amazing that food has helped you persevere, and hopefully, heal too. Glad you've found your footing, and here's to delicious cheese sandwiches, sometimes the best salve to be found.

  • I feel that. Sometimes an ordeal of a recipe is exactly what I need to process and move through.

  • I really appreciate how candid you've been. And yes it is indeed therapeutic. Im glad you've found a hobby and source of healing all in one. I bet your Salisbury is off the charts these days. Your wife is a lucky one! Thanks for sharing!

  • And this is perhaps one of the most compelling reasons to cook. You can make exactly what you want in exactly the way you like it. Such freedom and joy!

  • A good reminder of how so many amazing dishes have emerged out of necessity. I think of coq au vin or chakalaka or hoe cakes. Thanks for sharing your experience!

  • And I mean this gem, from Nigella, as highlighted by a goodreads review, is just so good....

    "you will never hear me talking about "healthy" food. I loathe the term, but not as much as i am disgusted by the contemporary mantra of 'clean eating.' Food is not dirty, the pleasures of the flesh are essential to life and, however we eat, we are not guaranteed immortality or immunity from loss. We cannot control life by controlling what we eat."

    Most of us have experienced loss as well as pressure to eat more "clean." But what i need is to heal and enjoy. Not deprive. Just so fucking good.

  • I am extremely fatigued with the constant negativity

    Jump

  • Get off the internet. Truly. When it gets to be too much, put your device away and do something else. My go-tos, I either cook something, play music or go for a walk.

  • President Trump Claims New Drug Can Bring People Back From the Dead

    Jump

  • Indeed they do. Their entire world view is based on magical thinking. Its not unique to trump sycophants either. Being raised in a religion trains the brain to believe in magic. It's all so silly.

  • It's always so satisfying how delicious a big pot of veg can be. Looks great, thanks for sharing!

  • Overpriced premade garlic bread is a sin

    Jump

  • Check out Ina Garten's "outrageous garlic bread." Truly a feat of deliciousness.

  • Check out Hard Times OP, best jerky around! Super thin, not pressed but sliced, very dry. Just so damn good!

  • What's something interesting (to you) you'd like to share about your current hyperfixation/obsession? (Infodump safespace for both neurotypicals and neurodivergents)

  • It's not salt that hardens pulses (beans, lentils etc.), it's acid. Salt your beans from the start, they'll taste better. Also, most beans dont need to be soaked first, just cook them longer or start them hard for 20 mins then turn down the heat. Chickpeas, however, need to be soaked, unless you cook them with baking soda. But then you lose out on the aquafaba, so I say soak em.
