At Marcel Proust's table
To immerse oneself in In Search of Lost Time is a bit like becoming a guest of the narrator. The table plays a significant role in the novel, perpetuating a distinctly French literary tradition, evident at least since Rabelais.

This month's Distributed Proofreaders' (DP) Blog talks about the book "Famous Old Receipts." In this case Receipts means recipes. Read all about this cookbook and see the delicious looking dish our brave blogger tried from it.
🇬🇧 I watched a bit of the anti-immigrant march in London Sunday, led by fascist, virulent anti-immigration activist Tommy Robinson. More than 100,000 protesters and counter-protesters showed up.
Amid all the racist hate, one counter-protest group displayed a large screen on a van with the message, "Immigrants Make Britain Fabulous" playing on repeat. Well done!
With that in mind...
This morning I watched Zimbabwean-British immigrant Leonel Maxlhaieie aka "Leo The Baker" prepare loaves, croissants and other baked goods for a popular pop-up in Ticehurst Saturday—a fine example an immigrant "Making Britain Fabulous!" ✊

Here’s the Surprising Reason Chef Hats Are So Tall
By Charlotte Hilton Andersen
I want to see a new cooking show: "Autistic Iron Chef", where 3 neurodivergent cooks compete to have the best mis en place for the weekly meal, as judged by organization, cleanliness of area when time is called between prep and cook phases, and efficiency of the cooking process. The final result must be correct, but the points are not on taste and presentation but on process.
Who can make this happen?

#Introduction time!
My name is Thomas, but some folks call me Gull. I'm in my late thirties, and I exist in the #Vancouver area. I was born and raised here in #Canada . I'm somewhat of an introvert and minimalist. I avoid people and things, but don't worry, I'm friendly!
I post nice photos or random thoughts. I avoid doomposting or doomboosting. This is my second account, by the way.
Here are some relevant interests! #Birding #Hiking #Photography #Cooking #CraftBeer #RhythmGaming .
I’ve come to believe that the vast majority of recipes on the internet are bad and physical cookbooks are more important than ever
Except for a handful of recipe creators I really trust (King Arthur for baking, old seriouseats, etc)
I prefer physical cookbooks
I think i need a new #introduction , mostly because i want to.
Heyho, i'm Urban from #tyrol and I've
- played Bass in my old band and still making sound
(https://reaperscall.bandcamp.com/track/from-the-void)
- made a short film a long time ago called "Endstation"
(https://youtu.be/0hfm5e_BNxE)
- wrote some short stories and made one issue of a zine
- made a blog
- been struggling with Depression probably my whole life, so that stopped me from making more
So, what else?
Also a father who likes #metal and #music in general, #cooking, #baking, #history, #gaming and #hiking.
I follow people who i find interesting and If you want to follow me, be my guest.
Be nice to each other

Actual cookbooks are better than online recipe slop sites.
Physical cookbooks are great.
Cool thing though, if you want to search for digital recipes online but don't want slop sites, use your local library's app and just check out an eCookbook.
It's even ad free!
(You can also go checkout a physical cookbook as well! They have an entire section at your library for them! 641.5x under the dewey decimal system!)
