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 share your frustration, but all that nonesense you read through is only there for Google SEO and to be able to slip ads into the text. Yea, you have to scroll past that stuff. It makes it difficult. I don't like recipe videos either, mostly because the "chef" really wants to be an actor. So they turn a 3 minute video into 30 minutes. On the other hand, I've found some pretty good recipes. If I use them often enough, I'll copy/paste the relevent part of the recipe into a word processing document.

I was doing that, and I should do that but I guess I'm too disorganized, and with a gamer as a fiancé I have to interrupt him constantly to use the computer like a cook book. I like to use my phone, but it's literal shit trying to find that little window where there's actually a recipe

Yea, go to BJs or Costco and buy a cheap i3 notebook. I picked up one for my son and it was about $400. Acutally, you can find them on Amazon pretty cheap too. Wow, I just checkd, under $300! Amazing.

I wouldnt mind one of them. Funny enough, Toddler was given a hand'me'down tablet from my stepmom but we dont have the password to unlock it from safe-mode so I cant use it for anything lol. She doesnt remember the code
