what that aaron guy is doing

I hate food blogs.

Someday, I may open a food truck and, if it succeeds, I will owe some measure of my success to food blogs. At some point along your culinary journey, you don’t know how to make an omelet and, at some point even earlier, you don’t know how to boil potatoes.

Food blogs have their uses. Honestly, it’s not even the life stories that bother me, especially since the advent of the “Skip to Recipe” button (actual chef’s kiss). My problem with food blogs is that I experienced the internet when YouTube didn’t have ads. I remember a time some five or ten years ago when I could still use my smartphone to make dinner, when I could actually view the recipe without having to continually close ad after ad, only delaying the inevitable: the eventual crash and reload of the page. Now I don’t even bother; I use the print recipe feature, which, by the way, more and more requires one to sign up with an email address to use it. Alas, it was a simpler time when Yahooligans.com met all my internet needs. #itwasthe90s
