i always have to add more to it when i take a serving but, idk!!! maybe it would help to write down a recipe instead of just winging it everytime, but most of what i cook is just "throw a bunch of shit in a pot" with most of it being eyeballed and different every time. like when i make curry i always add the same amount of curry roux (obviously) but the rest of the ingredients are always a little different depending on what i have on hand, so i don't really know how much is gonna be in it in the end. idk how to tell how much salt to add then

i do like following recipes but i just don't have the energy to cook and buy groceries often enough for this, if i follow a recipe exactly instead of just using whatever i have i always end up with leftover ingredients, and more often than not i don't manage to finish them in time and they go bad, especially when i live alone this sucks. ugh

i don't know i feel stupid LMAO i should just cook more and more varied things, and like experiment more but i am too depressed usually. my fridge is generally like 25% full

im bad at this too. my rule is to just keep putting salt in until it tastes different lol. its definitely one of the harder parts of cooking for me too

youre allowed and actually encouraged to take a little bit while it's in the pot to taste

also there's no problem with adding salt to your liking after it's served either
