Variety is a nice place to *visit*, but god I would *not* want to live here. How do y'all *cope* not eating mostly the same things at mostly the same times of day?

The *occasional* break is nice, but for the most part I like predictability, and not-being-overwhelmed-by-options, and diets that have been carefully spread out across a bunch of food categories in hopes of avoiding malnutrition (apparently successfully).

Also to be totally clear - I didn't think you literally never changed your diet but drift in tastes/optimizations over a scale of years and drifts in tastes/optimizations over the scale of days are not comparable

>> greasiness

- I don't have this problem myself but my memory of serious eats attributes greasiness in cheese sauces to the cheese breaking and that you need an/a better emulsification? IDK if "this food has large amounts of fat in it" is your problem though, this wouldn't help with that?

See: https://www.seriouseats.com/2017/01/how-to-use-cornstarch-and-evaporated-milk-to-make-stable-emulsion-cheese-sauce.html

?
Note: I haven't tried these because it would require buying new ingredients I don't normally keep around, so it's on the metaphorical back-burner.

Makes sense! And yeah, I suppose those won't help, then. Good luck finding suitable substitutions!
