    How to cook? Or even follow a recipe. Not like hard stuff either, a simple casserole recipe or cookie recipe. Not even find a good recipe, that’s actually very hard online these days what with bullshit generators and stuff. I hand you a recipe.

        Makes me remember that old boomer joke “My wife cooks water in the evening so that the next day I just need to warm it up for my tea”

      I can cook great, I suck at following recipes. Not because I can’t follow instruction, but because so many recipes are written full of jargon

      With something like cookies there’s actually a bit of assumed institutional knowledge, like what “cream together sugar and butter” means. Sometimes the devil is in the details and those details you kind of need to have seen every episode of Good Eats to get.
