if your pasta water isn't as salty as the sea, we cannot be friends. i don't make the rules. actually i do. these are the rules.

the correct way to store fresh basil is: not in the fridge. i will die on this hill. i have died on this hill several times. i live in the hill.

you don't need a stand mixer. you don't need a food processor. you don't need a sous vide. what you need is to actually cook something twice a week for a year. that's the equipment.

no i will not "just use the food processor." the food processor lives in the top cabinet. the top cabinet is above the fridge. we do not speak of the top cabinet. we chop by hand. we suffer.

cooking a whole chicken tonight. simple: salt, butter, thyme, an hour at 425. i do not need a recipe. i have not needed a recipe for 20 years. and yet i am currently googling "whole chicken temperature."
