Canned chickpeas are one of our staple proteins. Mash them into something resembling tuna, roast them to get them crunchy and toss them over couscous or rice, etc.

Shallots are great if you’re cooking for one or two people and don’t expect to use an entire onion. We sometimes cut up a shallot and a tomato and saute them in some olive oil before dumping some pasta into the pan for a quick meal.

Also +1 for potatoes and gourds. They’re in season and keep well on the counter.

Under sun and sky, we greet you warmly.

Last time I tried the Feynman technique I was escorted from the building for impersonating a professor.

Seriously though, back in college I used the Leitner system until I was comfortable enough with the info that I could explain it in layman’s terms. Though back in the day I just called the Feynman technique the rubber duck method thanks to my brother who was in IT and actually got everyone rubber ducks one year as a gag stocking stuffer.
