Seriously though, people way over gate-keep cooking. It’s not hard to get into, at all. Just practice, and don’t feel bad about following recipes to a tee. Even once you get better, there’s nothing saying you have to create your own recipes. If you enjoy the process of cooking but not the rest, fuck putting limitations on something as simple as making food and do your own thing
Well, to be fair, I’ve had people get annoyed with me for saying Merry Christmas in the past (I’m not particularly religious, but I was raised to say it and it’s a habit to break)
It’s all subjective. Just because you haven’t had something said to you, or even haven’t seen or heard of someone saying it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
Some might say that it makes them less healthy, but a very light drizzle of honey before you cook them, and it becomes one of the best things you’ll ever eat
I still go on Reddit when I find the answer to a specific problem, or if I have to ask something specific, but I make sure to go on my computer with adblock
If windows 12 is a subscription like the rumors say, it might finally push me to Linux. Right now I haven’t moved over just cause there hasn’t been a particularly annoying thing to do it yet
Coffee is very cheap if you actually just make it. Maybe not cheaper than 4¢ tea bags sure, but cheap.
Edit: if anyone is curious about making coffee simply at home, buy a French press (fancy doesn’t matter, get a $15 one on Amazon) and some coffee grounds (taste is just an experiment of what brand you like. Eventually you’ll want to grind your own beans but don’t worry about it for now. If you can, get medium grind grounds, as that’s supposed to be good for French presses) follow a guide online for making it. You’ll need a way to measure hot water like a kettle, but that’s the same for tea so hey.
