+## Utility for Meal Planning

+Would you take this offer?

+
+I wouldn't, but I've known people who would.
+I've also known people like the villain from _Ratatouille_
+that would never eat something just for the calories.
+I'd say I lean more towards the first,
+certainly my interest in cooking
+is one of cost optimization,
+not expressing myself through the medium of food.
+
+Taste does matter to me though,
+I realized this recently while eating particularly bland [[stroganoff]].
+Novelty of taste as well,
+which is why I rotate through recipes
+rather than just picking my favorite.[^1]
+But the value of taste declines sharply above a certain point.
+
+[^1]: Internalized social stigma probably deserves more credit there,
+    but the outcome is the same.
+
+For me, a recipe with high [[utility]]
+is tasty, cheap, _and_ convenient to prepare.
