Thoughts on this page idea? The "No Restaurant" Challenge: for anyone that has a job and finds themselves in this irresistible trap of adulthood, try to stop spending your money at all of them and then make a log of shame on the page every time you falter. People are allowed to buy you food from a restaurant, but you can't buy anything for yourself. Unsure how to deal with the loophole of premade/frozen grocery food
You know what, now that yall say this... i keep rewatching shows i like instead of watching new ones. Ive been craving too many familiar things watch-wise.
Alternatively, or maybe even in paralell, I've found that once you make/find a recipe for a meal that you really like, take the time to write it down or print it out on a piece of paper, making modifications as you go. Then store it someplace like a folder, and boom! Suddenly you're writing your own cookbook.
For me, it makes cooking more engaging, like you're practicing a skill with intent rather than relying on luck to feed you for the day. It doesn't even have to be any complicated recipes, it's more about the fact that you're developing the knowledge of understanding the why's and how's of cooking, even if at a basic level. So that's my challenge to those reading
to @dequake's point, writing down your favorite recipes serves as a reminder of good meals helps remind you that there are good things you can make instead when the urge to eat out strikes
Maybe the premade/frozen needs more steps for cooking rather than "place on pan and put in oven"? Also not too sure how to deal with that
Yeah same with gas station snacks. I'll keep stewing on this because it's promising...

I just sent you an email about a solution to the loophole-I over exceeded the word limit here. Please have a read when you get the chance!
