I know I mentioned this before. The pandemic forced a lot of us to learn how to cook. They fret we don't go out to eat as much. True. Not because we can't afford it, but because we learned how to make it ourselves. Is that so bad? Every news story tries to make good things sound bad. They don't think beyond the obvious. Maybe it never occurs to them that things changed.

I'm also seeing something I haven't seen since the pandemic. Grocery carts packed full of food, as in so packed they can't put another thing in them. A quick glance tells me they're doing what we're doing, making our own food and eating it with family or friends.

And fewer cells. We used them all the time, not anymore. We're learning to shut the damn things off (not an easy task) and keep them off for the evening.

We also use an Instant Pot a lot, basically what you called pressure cookers. If you don't have one, they make everything from yoghurt to chicken. Clean up is a few seconds and there's a menu for almost anything.
