Beef Stew

The most unrealistic thing about this is the fact that they get to the recipe after just one paragraph; the real version of this would have like 27 photos of the father, a long essay about growing up and his various demons, etc, and there would be at least half a dozen banners about things gut doctors are begging you not to eat along the way.
- At least one or two sepia photos of the whole family gathered 'round a big pot of stew.
- you'll need a slow cooker, like the one my dad inherited to me after his death. and lemme tell ya, it was one fine slow cooker [...]
- The actual recipe would have the full police report, crime scene photos, and a catalogue of every item submitted into evidence.
  
  No no the real recipe is found buried in a list of court documents pertaining to the case.
- The only way to actually see the recipe on one page is to hit the print recipe button

I have been pulling recipes off of ChatGPT because of this nonsense.
- I got you https://whatthefuckshouldimakefordinner.com
  (Click the meals name to get the recipe)
  do not visit the site if curse words isn't your thing
  
  Today I Learned!
  This is going in my bookmarks next to http://motherfuckingwebsite.com
- ooh, just you wait until chatgpt learns how to write recipes "properly"
  
  Fuck, that is going to be so irritating when it can create long responses with “relevant” ads.
- Ooh this is brilliant. I actually bought some recipe books because I was so fucking sick of scrolling through 40 paragraphs of bullshit about the blogger’s life before they put the fucking 6 ingredient list up
  
  I fucking hate these. Also made me think about making my own website with simple straight to the point recipies.
  
  If we find something (usually on Pinterest) that we like, I will paste it in a Word document, format it, print it out, and put it in the recipe binder that sits in our kitchen counter. It's old school but it works.
- RecipeCleaner is your friend
- I use a terrific app called Paprika. It strips the nonsense SEO trash off and saves it locally in categories with pictures from the site. It can scale recipes up and down by whatever you percentage you want and can also convert metric to freedom units, etc. It can build shopping lists if you want for it to.
  
  You aren't mentioning the best parts.
  Paprika can synchronize recipes across multiple devices and it doesn't cost a membership.
  You can set up an entire family with all of the recipes. No longer must you print them out, and hand them out like some kind of filthy peasant. Or worse hand over that Bobby Flay cookbook from 1932. Jst click save on your own end, and they already have it. You can also share them as professional looking emails.
  Paprika can also scale the recipe with each ingredient. E.g. you scale that crack chicken recipe from 1x to 4x because you've got family coming. Now instead of fumbling through 4.8 tsp Oil times 4 - it'll just list . 5 Cup Oil.
- I've been using RSS for blogs I like / trust and using they for new recipe discovery

Soooo... where's the recipe?
- You need a slow cooker to access this recipe, duh…
  
  Do I put the Internet in the slow cooker?
  
  I’m slow and I’m the only one cooking this so I don’t understand what i need for the recipe—
  
  But all of my slow cookers are busy running Skyrim

If Ted Kaczynski ever cooked you something in a pot I recommend leaving and calling the bomb squad.
- If Ted Kaczynski ever cooks something for me I'm calling an exorcist. Man's dead
  
  And yet his vision of anti technology anarchism lives o... who am I kidding.
- Teddie would never use a slow cooker, that's post industrial technology

And I thought that'll be about Patrick Stewart.
