Love cooking but not trained in any way shape or form.

For ease and confidence building, I absolutely love a slow cooker. Some dishes are “roughly chop and add these ingredients, stir, and then walk away for 8 hours” and are pretty forgiving on the timing as well.

If you’re comfy with pancakes and french toast, could try more pan-fried foods - omelettes are fairly forgiving and if they end up not being whole, you’ve got scrambled eggs 😅. Could also consider some oven tray bakes like https://www.hairybikers.com/recipes/view/spanish-style-chicken-bake - these need a little more precision on cutting (mainly potatoes to be honest) but not much, and again are walk away and leave to cook.

Hope that helps!

Go is quite nice for this, generally low traffic services are less than 100mb used memory if you’re using the standard lib stuff and it’s not a huge jump from the JVM to Go.

Nah, that was the blue team - this is the red team 😅

Insomnia is a bit more like classic postman, though it’s kinda heading the same way too.

Ended up falling back to cURL and shell history for REST stuffs a lot of the time.
