Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

We (58m 67f) cook at home 95% of the time. We are an ingredient-only house. This means there are no packaged things, and we (I ) cook everything from nothing. We eat out 1-3x per month but are too often disappointed in the quality and shocked buy the cost. We eat in places that make their food, not those that reheat it. I'm a good cook. I try new things regularly and expirement freely. I have go-to meals. Every meal is at least a salad, a veggie or 2, and a meat. No bread and few grains except rice when appropriate for the meal. My largest investments are good pots (Calphalon and Le Creuset), good cooking surfaces (Tru infrared grill and dual fuel range) , and spices (literally hundreds from everywhere in the world). We never order for delivery.
One additional suggestion- buy meat in quantity. Get a vaccum sealer. Portion for your meals.
