On a daily basis I'm looking up recipes online to cook for the household, and every single recipe on every website requires me to scroll through a novel of content before I get to the Recipe card. I fucking hate that, I want to choke them out and slap their mama who host those websites. "Come check out my video on youtube hit the bell and subscribe!"

NO ALL I WANT IS THE RECIPE AND DIRECTIONS. THERE'S NO NEED TO GO INTO EXCRUTIATING DETAIL AND HAVE A RECIPE CARD WITH THE DIRECTIONS. I DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE INTRICATE DETAILS OF YOUR LIFE AND EXPERIENCE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. I DON'T WANT TO WAIT FOR ALL THE PICTURES TO LOAD TO SEE THE DIRECTION. I DON'T WANT TO SCROLL THROUGH THE LONG ASS WEB PAGE JUST TO DISCOVER THERE IS NO RECIPE UNLESS I READ THE SAGA PICTURE BOOK!

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Why don't I use a cookbook? Well, i used to own a 40$ cookbook that was lost with hundreds of dollars of other stuff during an eviction about 4 years ago. I have lots of weird little recipe books and it's hard to sift through them all based on what we actually have in the house. I very rarely have all the obscure ingredients for those recipes unless I planned before hand. But I dont plan as much as I buy everything I need to make several different kind of dishes that are plenty satisfying.

I do a lot of winging it. Often a recipe isn't quite what I have in the house but I like certain aspects of the recipe I use. Sometimes it's just a matter of knowing how long to cook how many pounds of meat and I use a different recipe for flavor. I've gotten good enough at cooking now a lot of stuff is eyeballed, but I'm not Gramma level yet so I sometimes burn or over season stuff.

My winging it is much better now than it used to be
