Reply #81: i never buy fast food and clearly i have survived [View All]

i no longer buy cookbooks because it is a waste of money when there are bazillions of recipes free on the internet that can be searched for exactly the ingredients in my garden, freezer, etc.

i feel the cookbook is somewhat a thing of the past

i now print out the recipe i want to use and if i get it all grease on it, fine, throw that print-out away at the end of the evening

after awhile if you've got the feel for it, you don't need a recipe any way, it is more a suggestion than anything else

while i was taught to sew, this is indeed a skill that has become irrelevant and a waste of money, i can't buy supplies for what i can buy clothing for even new, because of worldwide slave labor, and realistically i don't buy clothes new either, i get it from thrifts for a fraction of the cost in time and money of sewing, all you need to know of sewing is how to tack back on a button securely, how to secure a loose seam, how to hem, and you can do all that without the bother of a machine taking up space and cash to boot
