What's something challenging and interesting I could make to expand my horizons as a beginner/intermediate cook?

fry two pieces of spam and then spread nutella in between and use the spam like its bread for a nutella sandwich

that sounds really gross, and assembly isn't really cooking, it's assembly

burns night is coming up. make a three course meal to celebrate it and invite all your friends. have the starter be soup and soda bread, the main be haggis neeps and tatties with some greens on the side, and the dessert be cranachan with shortbread. get a couple of friends to help you and get everyone else to bring booze. nothing gets you to nail your shit down like a scheduled meal and kitchen management.

"Artisan" bread. ie, hand formed boules, pre-ferments, sourdough, etc. Requires almost no special equipment outside of a cheapo cast iron dutch oven.

Or try stuff from a specific cuisine outside of your comfort zone. Just go buy a book on "Thai" or whatever and have at it.

Idk, seems a bit sad to make a three course meal just for myself. was more thinking about something that would explore a specific technique. cranachan looks good but raspberries aren't great at this time of year. haggis seems like kind of a hard thing to make outside of ireland?

Damn, Burns night sounds like a fucking blast although I must say scots seem to be the jews of great britain.

I always say if a man can make a good scrambled egg, you know he can cook
