Imagine if they put that effort into actually explaining the finer points and techniques of their recipes

Also the reason they do this is because they're women

Yes we are. Now only if OP would post the rest of it.

imagine the people who get off on that novel length story before the recipe

I JUST WANT THE FUCKING RECIPE

>Shortly after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Regina Schrambling wrote of the healing power of cooking. “The food is not really the thing,” she said. “It's the making of it that gets you through a bad time.” This recipe, adapted from "The New Carryout Cuisine" by Phyllis Méras with Linda Glick Conway, was one she turned to in the trying days that followed. A mere two steps, and ready in less than an hour, it’s comfort in a pan, just as good for when the darkness creeps up as it is for those days when you just need a bit more. And to those who might scoff at the two sticks of butter? Consider taking Schrambling’s words to heart: “Abstemiousness,” she wrote, “is not an option when you're feeling low.”

I don't get recipes from blogs so I find these constant threads far more annoying.

>>11827813

When you stop clicking on the fucking link.

i'll spoil it for you: there's cream of mushroom soup and a crockpot at the bottom of the page

>>11827813
it's because of google. word count and more photos of the same thing get ranked higher.

>>11827813
Mom blogs. I'm sick of them too.
EVERY FUCKING TIME, they introduce themselves, and then its required that they mention the weather makes this perfect, and how much hubby loves this, and the wonderful children she shit out loves it too.
Hubby works so hard, and he comes home from work and I give him this, and then he cums on my face! The kids are so busy with school, and they are such picky eaters, but they love this! TeeHee!

>>11827813
Why do you think it came up so high in your Google search? All those lovely key words in the story.

Is really that hard to just scroll down and get to the actual recipe? Like, you know you don't actually have to read that part do you?

>>11829082
You have to go back to your le echochamber

>>11829046
Yeah realizing you want a recipe when you're at a crowded store and only have your smartphone is the fucking worst. Websites in general are an absolute mess to begin with, and then you have to read about someone's daughter's epilepsy before you can get to the ingredients.

Better than this fucking place, I gotta wade through, 10 pages of retards flinging shit at each other about fast food and jews to find a shitty vertical recipe about how to stuff hotdogs into a McDouble, or the 2 dudes who are passable lecturing kiddies on basics... again

Eesh, it's like the bible all over again :3

Get an extension called RecipeFilter for Chrome.
It takes the recipe off a page, wherever it is, and puts it up at the front of the page in a pop-up so you never have to scroll and scroll to find it.
It helps if you also have ABP with the Fanboy's Annoyances filter, because sometimes it can get fucked up if there's a newsletter subscription popup.

I cook more skillful things than just throwing raw food in a hot pan. One day you'll progress beyond pouring bowls of cereal and microwaving hot pockets, and when(if) you do, you'll find that there's an amazing wealth of information out there on the internet that you have direct access to, including many new takes on classic recipes, tips and tricks, and very intricate information on technique and the origins of food. Don't try so hard to be patronizing, you just make yourself look really, really stupid.

>>11830690
Speaking of realizing things regarding the amazing wealth of information out there: the stuff in mom blogs that requires plugins and extensions to make readable is usually bullshit. The good information is usually well curated. And it's far more likely found in a book, be it physical or digital.

I'm sure you enjoy Aunt Myrna's Famous Casserole (Jim just LOVES it, and so do the boys), but I think if you want to educate yourself you're better off reading Jacques Pepin.

>>11830703
You're purposely limiting the scope of your abilities by preassigning value to things without investigating them? Bold choice.
Yeah, sometimes they're not good recipes, sometimes they're only okay, but more often than not I'm looking through multiple recipes to find different techniques to splice together in order to create something better than any recipe exists for. You're not a chef if you ardently follow the path real chefs before you mapped out, you're just a line cook.

You guys are probably best to ask. I've never baked anything, and I like the idea of some kind of bar-shaped treat like OP.

Ops example however has people saying its not good. What are some easy things to bake that don't have crazy ingredients or techniques? I'd hate to spend all the monies giving it a go to have it wasted.

>>11830690
You'd have to be literally retarded to only know how to cook with shit you find on the internet. You don't deserve to cook if you need to read a recipe to make something. You have a fucking brain, you can memorize things, you have a mouth, you can ask for information from actual people that cook. You don't need some shitty fucking book or website to tell you how to cook, it's not that hard.

>>11830759
Cookies are generally a good place to start, and you can easily make any standard butter/sugar cookie recipe (like classic chocolate chip cookies) into cookie bars simply by adding an extra egg and baking it off in a baking dish rather than in cookie shapes (it will take longer to bake by about 1.5 times)
Pumpkin bars and no-bake cheesecake bars are easy, or cheesecake brownies. There's also a recipe called 7 Layer Cookie Bars or "Magic" cookie bars that is extremely easy for starting baking. You can leave the nuts or coconut off these if you don't like them. Good luck bro.

>it's not that hard
Look, stubborn retard, there's whole realms of food out there and no one has it all memorized, not even a great and learned chef. You don't have every single pastry, every type of dough and custard, every kind of filling and frosting memorized. There's no way to learn if you don't read and research and there is never a point where anyone has learned so much that they never need to read again. You're literally upset about reading and learning, get a hold of yourself you braindead waste of nigger spunk.

>>11830780
why would you get this upset over someone reading and learning?

This shit right here.

This is one the things I don't understand how people get bothered over. If you don't care to read the flavor text then simply scroll down. Wow, a whole 1/2 second.

>>11827813
I find that kind of thing to be a great red flag for what is sure to be a crappy recipe. It tells you you're doing your recipe searching wrong.

Stop reading mom blogs and find an expert in your desired field and learn from them.

>>11829981
Imagine being such a fucking child that you don't have your grocery list planned out before you left to go to the store.

I'm surprised people today can even function.

>>11830718
>Bold choice.
I don't think it's bold to start with learning from experts before I learn from mom blogs. I think that's logical.

>>Yeah, sometimes they're not good recipes
In my experience they're usually bad recipes.

>>but more often than not I'm looking through multiple recipes to find different techniques to splice together in order to create something better than any recipe exists for.
I'm skeptical. If you have experience with cooking fundamentals you don't need to do so much research. You take your knowledge of the basics, then you get ideas or inspiration from what you read. If you don't have experience with the fundamentals then you're just some kid throwing shit together.

>>You're not a chef if you ardently follow the path real chefs before you mapped out, you're just a line cook.
Agreed. And I've got nothing against experimenting or learning. I just think that types of websites you are talking about seem awful for that. The problem with the internet is that it has no barrier to entry, and thus it's overwhelmingly filled with bullshit. Sticking with trusted sources avoids that problem.

>>11830990
With all the ads and scripts, it slows down load times, and sometimes it's a slide show or is blocked by a paywall, even that extra 1/2 second is an inch that will become a mile.

It usually means you’re looking for a mom tier dish in the first place like hasselback steak or pecan cake pops or some shit

>>11831047
Why would you ever look for mom tier dishes?

>>11830626
Fuck they stole my idea.

>>11830851

It's textbook projection. He feels intimidated by complex recipes and tasty food because he grew up in a whitebread home and never learned how to cook properly. He thinks what he's used to should be normal, so instead of learning new things and expanding his perspective he lashes out at people who do. There's probably a dash of racism and dislike of "ethnic" foods lurking around in there somewhere too.

>>11827813
If you didn't realize already, food blogs are a hobby for bored married women. It will never stop, it's all they have
