I just want the recipe

1 min read 712 characters, or 6 tweets' worth

I clicked on a link that promised the best weeknight lentil soup. Before I reached a single ingredient I learned about the author's grandmother, a trip to Tuscany in 2011, the particular way the light falls in her kitchen in October, and her feelings about her kids going back to school.

Then a video started playing. It was not about soup. Then a banner asked me to subscribe. Then another banner asked me to accept cookies, which is a cruel joke on a food blog.

I scrolled for so long that the soup would have been done by the time I found the list. It called for one onion. I could have guessed the onion.

Put the recipe first. Tell me about Tuscany afterward. I will read it, I promise, once I have eaten.

  1. The cookie banner on a food blog is the funniest joke on the internet and nobody is laughing.

  2. The onion. You could always have guessed the onion. This is the truest thing posted this week.
