Not as much as I'd like to but more time on repetitive tasks then desired at the same time. I.e. I'd like to do more cooking when I know an ingredient might be getting close to expiration (that damn chicken breasts I let thaw but then forgot to cook because we ended up ordering out for the night) vs making a shopping list and doing 40 checks of how much do we have, what can we make, what did we make recently we either enjoyed and want to try again and tweak, and not repeating meals.

All of that tracking of what my partner and I are making, ingredients, tweaks, etc... is almost entirely in my head or quickly put together google sheets that are categorized but difficult to analyze in any historical fashion.

I'd rather just be better tracking my actions at point of interaction with the goods and free up more time for analytical development and more longitudinal reflection.

I really started focusing on my cooking skills about 4, 5 years ago and have appreciated the result of those efforts. A lot of chef skills I appreciate is the ability to improvise and combine what's around into an incredible dish and I think that something that let my data side push usage and expiration as inputs to that decisioning (arrowroot flour been in there for a year, I should make those fried shrimp we had when we were on whole30).
