This thing (saveymeal-bot.co.nz) is hilarious. I think I could genuinely use it to finish up leftovers and things that are about to go off, but for right now it's given me "boiling water poured over toasted bread, inspired by contemporary dance" and "weetabix and oatmeal with toothpaste and soap". Fun for now, but I might use it for real at dinner time.

Add a dab of lavender to milk, leave town with an orange, and pretend you're laughing at it.

Ugh, doesn't work for me, I get all the time:

Invalid ingredients found, or ingredients too vague. Please try again!

I think it wants three "valid" ingredients (which it may not necessarily use).

They could be oats, bread and water, for example. They could also be "bowl", "plate" and "saucepan", because those words all exist in recipes, and that's what it's checking for.

BOWL AND PLATE SOUP

Bon appetit!
