It’s not inflation. It’s coordinated price increases. See the chicken article that was just published.

What are the best cooking hacks you've learned over the years? in c/cooking@lemmy.world

Alternately, a mandolin, slow cooker, and an ice cube tray are amazing.

Mando up a 5lb bag of onions, toss in the slow cooker, & 6 hours later you have the most delectable flavors.

I usually take half the onions and make French onion soup, and the rest into the ice box. They thaw perfect in the fridge, or a sauté pan.

Same, I had made a mastodon account a few months back, so I played with that for a bit, then figured out lemmy. Just in the last 7 days, it feels like engagement has increased ten fold. I feel actually impactful here; which leads to more of my personal effort.

The guilty pleasure I get to indulge in while watching corpo-reddit flail around is just icing.
