Quick, easy and affordable? bi-weekly recipes?

Hey there, I was wondering if there is any interest in some kind of recipe posting (at least biweekly) where the main purpose would be to show people how to make affordable, filling, yummy, and super easy to make meals. Maybe the requirements could be less than 10 minutes of prep, 1 hour of cooking time and under $3ish a serving? Example: **Lentil Soup** **Ingredients:** - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 1 cup finely chopped onion - 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot - 1/2 cup finely chopped celery - 2 teaspoons kosher salt - 1 pound lentils - 1 8oz can of diced tomato's - 2 quarts vegetable broth - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground coriander - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground toasted cumin - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground grains of paradise **Directions:** - Place the olive oil into a large 6-quart Dutch oven and set over medium heat. - Once hot, add the onion, carrot, celery and salt and sweat until the onions are translucent, approximately 6 to 7 minutes. - Add the lentils, tomatoes, broth, coriander, cumin and grains of paradise and stir to combine. Increase the heat to high and bring just to a boil. - Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook at a low simmer until the lentils are tender, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. - All Done!

A guide to China's domestically produced smartphones?

I'm really interested in HarmonyOS and other Chinese domestic market (CDM) phones and OSes after reading so many discussions about Huawei, Vivo, and OPPO phones. I was hoping we could compile some details on them and how one might get one from outside of China. A place where we could discuss the advantages, disadvantages, and distinctions of using them on a daily basis, perhaps with some reviews?
