My whole adult life is not knowing how to feed myself, and also being responsible for feeding small humans, so... *clicks add to cart immediately*

I've been ordering from Bookshop almost daily, of late, and here we go again! Thanks for the tip.

Eater recommended this awhile ago, and I put it in my cart, forgot about it until yesterday. I’m going through it right now. I already told my coworker about it. May bring it up in therapy. For folks with neurospice this looks helpful.

As someone who has mainly been eating cereal for the past few weeks, I thank you for the recommendation

Linda omg thank you!

And what I mean by that is that it’s like having your favorite, most forgiving aunt or sister or friend come over and say, “Just have some soup and throw in some noodles.” And saying BUT HOW MANY NOODLES? And having that person say, “I promise you it doesn’t matter how many noodles.”

lindaholmes.bsky.social•109 days ago

Sometimes you just need that voice: It doesn’t matter how many noodles. Don’t worry about things that aren’t that important. It’s much more important to rest and sleep and hug people and snuggle your dog, and there’s going to be plenty of time to be exacting someday, if you want.

And also, by the way, it’s an excellent reminder that even in normal times, a really simple simple combination can be way cooler than it sounds and can get you out of a lot of jams.

From some old cookbook I picked up at the library in like 1995:
“While you wait for the water to boil, light a cigarette and stare forlornly at the sink.”
I wish I had that page framed in my kitchen.

I will bet you fifteen dollars that is from Peg Bracken's I Hate to Cook Book

quicktolaughter.bsky.social•109 days ago

I think you are right!
I need to get a copy.
Thank you 💐

This sounds like a great cookbook for episodes of depression, and I mean that in such a good way. Lowers the threshold of work it takes to make a good meal when everything seems harder.

lindaholmes.bsky.social•109 days ago

It’s explicitly for stuff just like that.
