-18°C for me. Fun times.

I’m pretty sure the first one is Voldemort from Harry Potter but I could be wrong.

Powders, yes, basically every meal. But I don’t always sautée them. Powered doesn’t have the same smell, and you can’t always use sautéed onion and garlic in every meal.

Lots of people don’t care about food, it’s just something to make them go from hungry to not hungry. “It fills a hole” is something I’ve heard many times, referring to food. Plenty of people just don’t care. I honestly was like that until I moved out and had to do the cooking myself. Now I can appreciate a home cooked meal or fancy restaurant meal more, but I’m still not a foodie. As long as it isn’t disgusting and it fills me up, I don’t really care. I’ll enjoy a nice meal more than a bland one, but I don’t have a strong feeling about it either way.

Cooking for my dad can be a little annoying sometimes because he’s definitely not a foodie. Many times my mom will make him a nice meal, ask him how it is, and his response is always “yeah it’s good” no matter what. Nowadays she cooks for herself and makes enough for him, because she knows he just doesn’t care, as long as it’s enough to fill him up. And I know a lot of people that are like that too.

I remember reading a comment on here one time that said anytime you’ve got people coming over for dinner, cook some onions and garlic in oil, even if you don’t need them for the meal. The smell alone will both make your guests hungry and also get excited for a good meal (assuming they’re into food).

Fair enough. I mostly just use Lemmy now, but I still use Instagram for hockey and baseball content, and YouTube for long-form video content.

It sounds like I don’t have much of a use for BlueSky/Mastodon/etc then. I see enough politics and tech stuff on Lemmy, I don’t need all that elsewhere too.

Is there much outside of tech and politics? I’ve seen some cat stuff too but that’s about it. I love cat content but I see enough politics on lemmy and I’m not super into tech.

My two cats just turned a year old recently, I’ve never been attacked by either of them.
