watching cooking youtube videos and being crushed by how involved so many "basic" and "simple" recipes are in their ingredients or the tools they use to make things, so looking up "depression cooking" and having my will to live return from watching a 93yo woman who has almost the same name as my late grandma just throw onions and potatoes in a pan with oil, sliced hot dogs, a bit of red sauce, and lil water to get a meal to feed a whole family
