I'm trying not to spend more time in front of the computer since I'm still doing it all day but at home now. I've started cooking, I knew how to cook basic things and basically feed myself but I'm following a lot of Kenji Lopez-Alt on youtube and it's really been motivating me to try something different that might take a little more skill or time that I wouldn't have tried before. https://www.youtube.com/user/kenjialt

Alternatively I'm having a lot of fun with Nats What I Reckon videos too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9sjrjr06K4

Eyeing up getting handier with Golang and Python later on though since our restrictions continue for a month or 2 longer depending on the numbers.

If you're trying new things, I'd recommend making gumbo. Really tasty, teaches you how to make a good dark roux, and otherwise is relatively easy. Isaac Toups has good videos out there on how to.
I've looked at doing something involving a roux but I'm always somewhat nervous of burning the shit out of it which I really shouldn't be.

I remember seeing Isaac on Binging with Babish once, I'll definitely check him out. Thanks!
