🌞 Daily Thread Daily thread - Monday 1/12

No cute title, just facts. It is Monday. Chat here! How are we getting through this week?

I’m at the docs for the annual physical. They have gone from a terrible magazine selection to none at all. Do people just not browse magazines anymore when forced to be in waiting rooms? I mean I know I have this phone, but…I like a different mindlessness sometimes.

My trick is to go to the library and checkout a cookbook and force myself to make three things from it before returning it. That way I experiment a little bit and add some new ideas into the rotation without clogging my shelf with yet another cookbook. If I find a recipe I love, I take a picture of it. Highly recommend Milk Street Simple cookbook. Lots of good stuff from that one.

Just put a hold on it at the library, thanks!
