@Cyborgneticz outside of baked goods i rarely just look up and follow a single recipe so the books i’d think of definitely skew more towards baking than my actual practice haha

Nick Malgieri’s Cookies Unlimited has been a faithful friend for years

Maury Rubin’s Book of Tarts contained a lot of delicious experiments

@Cyborgneticz

Dorie Greenspan’s Baking Chez Moi — good assortment of recipes and also what happens to be my by far fav wheat free / gluten free cake recipe

Lateral Cooking by Nikki Segnit — don’t directly use the recipes a ton but an interesting read / model for thinking about food

Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything — sometimes you just want a single page comparing the cooking times for five diff kinds of lentils without a ton of fuss

@OldBrushNewPaper i was in London for a while in January so not too many surprises on most menus but i did get some fantastic crunchy black sesame & mung bean cookies from a boba store by pointing and going “how much?” I still don’t know what they were called 😆

@OldBrushNewPaper honestly mostly food? i cook a lot and i love trying things other people have cooked (whether professionally or otherwise)

frequently willing to order things purely because i don’t recognize them and found out by trying it (within the boundaries of common sense of course haha)

@OldBrushNewPaper oooh nice yeah, i’m glad you’ve found some artists you like!

@OldBrushNewPaper just the good old insomnia — we had a daylight savings timeshift recently and my body did not appreciate it

but i would not be shocked to hear a bit of an overlong circadian rhythm either, staying up late is extremely easy in comparison to any other kind of being awake

@OldBrushNewPaper ooh yeah online eps are convenient that way!

@OldBrushNewPaper ahhh sorry about the enforced rest from knitting! hopefully switching needles helps a big

and glad my extremely strange sleep habits are to your benefit :D i always appreciate getting to chat when you’re around

@OldBrushNewPaper oooh nice! Japanese preforming arts is not a thing i have a ton of experience with but i really should check it out

@OldBrushNewPaper especially when its such a good post!

@OldBrushNewPaper ha yes i logged on at just the right moment! i hope spouse and you have fun coming up with more shit stirring options haha

@OldBrushNewPaper a traditional Shakespeare production is an all male cast too so really theres just a whole variety shows worth of options there

@pomological pomological lost its fruit ID somehow but i believe this is Maclura tricuspidata, who’s common name is sometimes cudrang

@Lady that would also be cute but we need to stay tru to our identity as sleepy cats

@mythologybot wait are the plants themselves having this argument or
