On kind of a random tangent, during the early pandemic I began reading a ton of cookbooks. I found it interesting how the quality of recipes and techniques was so vastly better than anything I found online.
I think a similar item is happening with news. Online news is rather superficial where really long form things like books can give you the reflection to think.
- escapedmoose 5y agoI was given a fantastic cookbook (Joy of Cooking) around the start of the pandemic. I used to loathe cooking. Now I’m hoarding cookbooks and look forward to trying new recipes. Turns out my problem the whole time was relying on garbage-tier internet recipes. Maybe it’s extreme, but I now refuse to make any recipe from the internet. It’s not worth it.
