To be clear while I'm on the topic, I believe strongly in fighting for women's rights, trans people rights, and broadly the rights of every marginalized group. Bigots can stuff it. Just in case anyone is wondering where I stand.

Also a lot of it involves planning & time. For example, pretty much everything is better brined. Meats, vegetables, even some starches. It's a way to season the inside of an ingredient not just the surface!

"why does restaurant food taste better than food cooked at home"

A very useful person to find and follow on social media is your anti-taste friend. You get along, you respect them, but your taste in movies/books/games is diametrically opposite to yours. You can know what you'll love by seeing what they don't enjoy, and vice versa.
