Brown rice
I've had a few varieties of it, including stuff imported from Japan and none of it really ingratiated itself with me. It seems like a natural 'filler' ingredient if the texture and taste is properly neutralized with pressure cooking and strong flavors. The purpose of brown rice is that it's more nutritious than white rice, right? I guess there's a "nutty" flavor, but do people go out of their way for that if it wasn't also known as rice type with nutritional value? I don't.
White rice
I definitely like it a lot more as it's good cheap flavorless and almost textureless filler. You can get a chicken breast, cut it up, and then for each fork of chicken you combine 1-2 forks of rice in your mouth at the same time. It's a great way to fill yourself up for cheap, as I'm sure most people know. One day I'd like to try making Japanese rice porridge since it's one of those things I see in games like Harvest Moon that seems very mysterious.
But, I like something more than these and it's...
Quinoa
Personally, I think quinoa is better than rice for most things that don't require rice's properties, or people with nostalgia if you grew up with it. I've talked about this stuff before in a thread here, and it's one of those "super foods" people talk about. I don't really trust the people that give names like "super foods" to stuff since it's really misleading and lends itself to marketing gimmicks, but I did some basic reading and it does seem to be quite nutritious. You can say "it's more nutritious than brown rice" and it's true, but I think brown rice still has some stuff that quinoa doesn't. However, the texture of quinoa is a lot better to me and I'm more likely to eat more of it without getting tired of it. It's very fluffy as it balloons into orbs filled with the liquid used to cook it.
Quinoa is the seed of a South American plant, and it's 4x as expensive as brown rice here in the US. I'm sure it's cheaper in South America and presumably more expensive on the other side of the world as it doesn't seem like anyone else on the planet is farming it in comparable amounts. That being said, 4x the price of something ridiculously cheap is still pretty good.
Couscous
I thought this stuff was raw seed like the others above, but it's basically flour and turns into something similar to pasta when cooked, just in a very tiny form. When I tried to use it as a basic side dish it did not turn out very well. This is definitely something meant to be used a certain way, but I haven't gone searching for any recipes for it.
Did you know semolina is processed from endosperm?
These little food items are really handy to serve as the bulk of a meal and I've found myself adding them to more and more things, like stews, to add more nutrition and raw weight. I wonder if I can add quinoa to scrambled eggs...

RAW quinoa. When boiled, two things happen: its water content goes from ~13% to over 70%, which literally dilutes its nutrients, and said nutrients leak into the water. You'll see this if you look at the legit reports by the USDA, that not only is there a steep drop from raw to cooked, but that cooked brown rice not just rivals but sometimes surpasses quinoa:

I've done two experiments with making simple tomato sauce from fresh garden tomatoes and both failed. I think the main issue is that I need one of those food mill or other things to squeeze out all the juice and flesh but leave the seeds and other hard parts.
It's an annoying amount of work to boil water, make a shallow slice a tomato, place tomato in boiling water, take it out, place it in ice water, take it out, peel off the skin, slice off stem, and them optionally further process it to remove seeds (which I haven't done because it's already too much). Preparing fresh ingredients can be so much work, it's no wonder why people just buy this stuff in cans even if they have space outside.

I'm the guy doing the garden stuff this year and I just did my third attempt at making tomato sauce.
First one was just with a bunch of random cherry and grape tomatoes and it was to see how the process works in regards to peeling and stuff.
Second batch was with some roma tomatoes, but not very many of them.
For both of the previous batches I did it by hand. You "blanch" the tomatoes by creating a shallow slice on each tomato and then putt them in hot bubbly water for a minute and then dunk them in ice water for another minute. It makes the tomato skin peel off and you messily tear it off each one. It's very tedious and really messy. Both of these sauces had a weird taste to them because I didn't de-core them which was a lot of extra work and I would end up discarding so much of them if I did it with my novice hands.
Well, I ordered a 'food mill' and I just made a third batch. With this all you need to do is blanch them in hot water to make them softer and then you just put them in this one and spin the handle around with a hand-cranked handle. This is the one I got and it seems to be of pretty good quality for the price:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000CFH1KPretty cool.
The sauce was... okay, I guess. It was a basic thing of just tomatoes, butter and big onion slices which you discard. I'm going to look up making a sauce that tastes more interesting, because this is a bit too plain for me even though I tend to like plain things. But, I think I'm going to keep this as a "base" (maybe with less butter) and put it bags to freeze. The serious people make homemade canned tomato sauce, but I don't really want to spend the money on that.
Well, maybe I should see how much it costs. I have too many tomatoes...

last night's drumsticks came out better. the butterflying worked well, and I added the onions and capsicum a little later so they wouldn't char. the meat and skin was very nicely soft, I think much of it cooked via steaming under the lid rather than from proximity to the pan surface because I put more oil and wasn't turning them over all the time. There was a lot of liquid in the pan by the end that the onions and capsicum were cooking in, didn't like that so much. if I'm marinating then I prefer beef or lamb fat rather than chicken fat. There was too much to be absorbed by the rice I was having it with.
One of the drumsticks had a gross discoloured darker bit in its middle, that's what happened the previous time in retrospect rather than it being undercooked. Don't know what the deal is, why are only SOME drumsticks like that?

I "made" some granola. I used quotation marks because you're just throwing a bunch of stuff into a bowl and then you have a choice of putting it in oven, pressure cooking it, or air frying it. There wasn't any preparation involved so I'm hesitant to call it cooking.
For my first test I did air frying because it was the least amount of effort. I followed this recipe loosely
https://www.corriecooks.com/instant-pot-granola/ but I used this guide to air fry it:
https://instantpotcooking.com/air-fryer-granola/It was:
-Rolled oats
-mixed bag of dried blueberries/almonds/pecans
-raisins
-mixed bag of cashews, dried cranberries, pecans
-sunflower seeds
-cinnamon
-vanilla (in liquid form)
And I put maple syrup and some honey over it. It's pretty good, but I partially burned it. Next time I'm going to use more rolled oats and I'll do a better job searching for individual bags of stuff since it's cheaper than the "trail mix" stuff. I want to make a healthier version next time. I need a good starting base to hide the healthy stuff that isn't good, like flax seeds.

Been making "mozzarella bagels" lately. They are very good.
Basically:
1x everything bagel, split into halves
2x mozzarella sticks
6x very thin slices of salted butter
sprinkling of garlic salt and Accent (msg) on each
Split the everything bagel into halves and then with a pair of scissors, cut small slices of mozzarella onto the bagel. Then take 3x very thin slices of butter and place them so that each covers a third of the bagel; they don't need to be uniformly spread, the butter will melt and spread on its own. Then, very lightly sprinkle some garlic salt and Accent (msg) across the bagel. Repeat for the other half. Then, place into the oven for ~5-7 minutes, or however long it takes for the mozzarella to sufficiently melt.

The newer bots can pull from the internet with sources, but those are paid models and that's just internet searching that I enjoy doing myself (and which allows me to find related content). You definitely can't rely on it for recipes and I wouldn't want to do so either.
Cooking is a very nuanced thing and I'd want to hear why people enjoy the food they cook or give reasoning on why they use Ingredient A over Ingredient B. Explanations like "I cooked with ___ for 5 minutes, but it seems like 3 minutes is better after doing more testing" or "My daughter is picky about texture so I used __ as a substitute" means a lot more to me than a static ingredient list and directions.

The honey is slightly higher in calories, but the flavor is a lot better and I imagine if you use good quality honey it's also more nutritious. I ran out of vanilla so I made it a few times without it and really don't notice a difference; it might even taste better without it. Greek yogurt and it mixes well with it, like cereal and milk, so I think I've found a great lazy meal that lasts a long time and is actually healthy. I can even substitute stuff like different nuts or different dried fruits, so variety will keep me from getting sick of it as quickly.

One of the great things about doing it with a pressure cooker is that you can add stuff with it at the same time or cook it with broth and such, and that's even without using some layered system to separate the food inside. I can put in rice, broth and vegetables at the same time.
Maybe if I lived in a large house with a large kitchen I could fill it with specialized appliances, but I like the idea of using one tool for a lot of things instead of having a perhaps slightly superior experience by spending more money and then having 20 more devices strewn about.
I've come to prefer quinoa over rice as well so I don't cook with rice nearly as much. I do want to try making rice pudding eventually, maybe.

I made another batch of chicken alfredo, but I almost didn't because I kept taking bites of the Parmigiano-Reggiano. That stuff is seriously addictive. When comparing prices I saw that you can order the giant wheels from Costco. 72 pounds of it for $950 which is probably a really good deal, and while it would be cost effective in the long run throughout my life I don't think it's feasible.

From the looks of things what that guy has might be a more dense pancake that tries to balance it out with banana. I've seen protein powder be used in place of flower.
It seems like a bit of a strange recipe to me, but if you don't have allpurpose/white flower and baking powder then you can give it a try

Then I'd crack each of them lightly and dunk them in ice water for a few minutes. When I go to take the shell off, they still stick to the eggs pretty badly and only come of in very small pieces at a time.

>If I try to take off bigger pieces or go faster, then the egg white comes off along with it and tears the egg apartSounds more like you're messing up in the cooking process than post-cooking, how are you cooking the eggs? Should be 12 minutes in (already) boiling water for hard boiled, then 10, 8, and 6 minutes as you go lower in the hardness. Then straight to an ice bath that you should have prepared by the time the eggs are done.
