Rich people are exhausting. I’m reading the Bon Appetit magazine (yes, I read recipes for fun, and my husband worships me), and in every sentence there’s anti-racism this and social distancing that.
It never occurs to these creeps that constantly referencing slavery in the context of fussy, overpriced recipes that only the most chi-chi-fru-fru people can afford in this economy is disgusting.
“We lived on our knees and now we are finally rising up,” wails one rich dumbass a propos of the BLM or the election or both.
When these were simply clueless rich people publishing expensive, convoluted recipes, that’s one thing. But once these jerks decided they are now a moral authority, that’s really too much.
I think I’ll have to cancel this subscription, too, and it’s my last one.
You can look at Saveur online without a subscription– they have lots of complicated recipes to love. We like their recipe for Ethiopian spiced lentils. We shortcut it with purchased berbere seasoning, and make large batches of spiced butter and store in the fridge to save time. But it can be as fussy as anyone could wish for 🙂

The link seems to be poisoned. When I clicked on it, I got one of those pop-up window fake “Your computer has been locked” scams.

Burnt Water.
Take one pot. Fill with water. Add smoke flavor for extra flavor. Turn on stove. Put the full pot on the stove and bring it to a boil. Forget about it. You are finished when the water splashes over or the fire alarm goes off.

My dad managed a fantastic version of this once! He put the kettle on for tea, and then went out in the canoe. The kettle welded itself to the electric-coil burner. I wasn’t there, but I’m told it was quite a light-show.
