   I really like that I’m at the point in my home cooking journey where i can easily whip up 3 dishes in any combination of Chinese / Japanese / Korean / Thai / Malaysian / Indonesian food without needing to get extra stuff (I always have ingredients for these cuisines) and without having to plan or look at anything. To be able to cook my fave home foods is a blessing

     This is also why I’m extremely judgemental of most restaurants in these categories here in San Francisco. So many of them are doing the bare minimum, no better than my own home cooking. The good ones can be really really good even great, but there are vanishingly few of those in the city (more in Oakland and Fremont and Millbrae)

     @skinnylatte apropos of nothing (but on the topic of restaurants), my wife and I just got back from 6 days in Guatemala, and on my birthday we had dinner at this *fantastic* restaurant in Guatamala City: https://www.diaca.gt/
     We had seen it months ago on the Guatemala episode of _Somebody Feed Phil_ (I do not like that man or his show, but he did get to eat at some wonderful restaurants). I had saved it on Google Maps in my "Want to Go" list, then realized I had saved it while trip planning.

     @skinnylatte I neglected to take a photo of my favorite dish of the 8 course meal—a watermelon soup with smoked feta cheese and duck chicharrones—so this photo of this dish which has a slice of gourd layered over a cheese, smoked grapes, and something else I've forgotten (should have taken notes!) in an incredible broth will have to suffice.

     @ccshan I keep a bag of scraps for garlic peels, asparagus bottoms, etc. for stock. we have a compost bin so that seems easy. In general we don’t often have a lot of leftovers as we also try to cook just enough + maybe a packed lunch for the next day.

     @skinnylatte Do you have any tips for avoiding food waste without thinking or planning very hard?
