Squid ink dishes are actually pretty dank, good with cold noodles, yall niggas even tried it?
Anyway, I like cooking quite a bit. I put some music on and just kind of zone out, it's sorta relaxing. I usually cook pretty simple stuff, almost never multiple dishes for one meal, but I've been doing it for long enough now that I can fiddle with recipes to get them just the way I like. Some of my favorite recipes have come from just trying to concoct something out of what I had in the fridge and then iterating a couple times until I got it just right. I've also gotten pretty good at coming up with meat and dairy substitutions, I make a block of seitan every now and then and keep it in the fridge, between that and umami paste you get darn close to (and in some cases better than, IMO) anything that isn't steak.
P.S. not a SG thread. You'll be taking another vacation Bill Krozby, if you do this again.

get off the meat.. especially red.
you can buy Baked tofu and mash it up into ground.. and mix it with spaghetti sauce and pasta of choice (or some white sauce)
also you can cheat and just take Dr Prego soy patties (burgers) and mash them up with a spatula and do the same thing. those ones come in different spices. the Indian spices is interesting.
vegetables are the future. fucking cows everywhere out here in the outer counties. try hiking and stepping in cow trails with their hoofs digging into the soil on wet days. So many hikers twisting an anckle. I used to hike in the east bay hills and have this problem. I say we get rid of cows (except dairy. I like real cheese. Haven't found a real substitute for it.

Yeah, cheese is tough to substitute. Nutritional yeast works reasonably well to get a cheesy flavor in savory dishes but I've yet to find a textural equivalent.
