grocery prices actually make me violent
what do you mean it's $8 for 3 pounds of grapes now that barely even last two weeks. what do you mean stuff for a month's worth of sandwiches is almost $40 now
literally in 2018 I could bulk at an organic food store for $50 a week. I'm about to drop a minimum $250 for stuff that will last maybe a month and a few days. and that doesn't even include allergy medicine

(re: tags on rb'ed post) It's genuinely so wild to me that people don't know how to cook??? Obviously I don't fault anyone for it, you've got to learn and there's no shame to it, I just really thought everyone had some degree of culinary knowledge until I was like twelve.
Anyway, what are your favorite vegetables to cook with? Favorite summer recipes? Favorite pasta recipes if you've got them? I need new recipes to try :)
exactly, I don't want to fault anyone on it either!! we have to acknowledge the diverse backgrounds we have, levels of privilege etc--and i do also think with that comes, what do we assume as normal just bc it's our experience? and so it's so important to hear from other people. i find a lot of asians and women such as myself learn how to cook from a very young age just like you did, and then assume everyone else does too (i didn't realise most of my friends didn't do their own laundry either all through high school).
anyway in response to your question: I love cooking with eggplant, capsicum, sweet potato, potatoes in general, sweet potato leaves, basically every kind of legume and all the products people make from them, tomatoes, all kinds of herbs (but the italian mix is my favourite) as well as an assortment of asian vegetables and melons that someone in my family always procures and has too much of!! i also love to add ginger to any recipe i feel like is missing its meatiness, green/spring onions go really well with a lot of things and so do raw red onions or cooked brown onions!!
pasta wise i love everything pasta. a pasta bake is a go to one for me as i make a good white sauce and my sisters and i all love it!! lasagna is cool but a bit more time consuming so it's been ages. otherwise anything spaghetti bog/with meatballs (specifically the ones i make from Beyond Meat, water crackers, carrot, onion and spices) is good and i eat it with green beans! it's also super quick bc pasta sauce is like $1 for a big bottle where i live and you just pour it on your spaghetti or pasta. i also love all things ramen (both the curly type and the more expensive straight organic japanese one, they also have other noodles called udon and soba that you literally just boil for 5mins and have with sprouts or smth and olive oil and it's delicious). i do love mac and cheese when i get a good vegan cheese but it's pretty hit and miss on that.
and as for summer recipes i'm a big smoothie gal!! pack it with protein powder and chia seeds and coconut water for electrolytes and ice cream for fun but i love mango/banana, pineapple/papaya, mint/spinach/coconut, mixed berry, sometimes i'll shake it up and do orange/papaya or smth!! i love all the bright colours and how creamy they are if you have a good banana or mango or papaya or just really creamy soy milk. also love anything with watermelon+mint (my sister makes a really good salad with it and cos lettuce, olives, cucumber and baby tomatoes i believe). also my beyond meat meatballs go well on a skewer dipped in guacamole for the summer nights where it's light right up til bedtime!

im definitely happier living in densely populated cities than i am anywhere else, however in the same way i am constantly fighting the urge to board a finishing boat and simply never be seen again i have also always been fighting the urge to move to a cabin in the woods and just never speak a goddamn word to anyone

one of my least favorite everyday go-fuck-yourself moments in capitalism is how single rolls of toilet paper are sandpaper and you can sometimes find 4-packs of something decent but 9.99999 times out of 10 the nice stuff is in 36-packs or whatever and i guess good luck if you took the bus to the market!! have fun!!! or buy the single roll of ass misery; your choice

keep thinking of things I could pack for lunch but I really need to do triage on my stuff in the pantry first so I can actually store stuff

speaking of food-related categorical slapfights: I just found out today that you cannot sell cauliflower rice in the US state of Arkansas (and only Arkansas) because legally "rice" has to be one of three specific plants (wild rice included) and rather than make special Arkansas-specific packaging, distribution just pulled out.
