Today's crap I'm reading: Food and cooking.

Good god, I'd forgotten about a bunch of these, and I have no idea why I had some open as tabs. A few date back to several New Year's Eves ago when I went on an Italian appetizer kick. Wood stoves? WTF? No way I'd willingly own one, but there's a tab for it. Anyway, enjoy.

Big Kahuna burgers, as in Pulp Fiction, as in STFU and get to making these.

101 Cookbooks. I think this site's been Internet famous for a while:

After 5, mostly barware and entertaining kit:

Apparently it was important that I know where to get stuff made in Belgium:

Brian's Belly. Might not've been updated since 2016, but I've posted older links:

Blake's Cake and Candy in Oregon. I must've been tracking down something:

Candy Addict, last updated 2012, probably some dead links but it's still hanging in there. It had interesting articles on oddball and obscure candies:

Everything2. I may be one of like 15 people alive who remember it AND who posted to it. Here's the cookery section. One of my favorite pressure-cooker recipes (a curry) came from here:

Cooking for Engineers. For those times when precision is needed:

The Cook's Thesaurus. I recall its being super useful at one time. "The Cook's Thesaurus is a cooking encyclopedia that covers thousands of ingredients and kitchen tools.  Entries include pictures, descriptions, synonyms, pronunciations, and suggested substitutions."

CopyKat. One of those knockoffs of Todd Wilbur's site:

Cupcake Takes the Cake. Publishing slowed down after March of this year:

Hungry Girl used to be A Thing, not sure now:

Joy the Baker. Looks like I was going through a serious baking phase. Anyway, this one's still going:

Conversion chart for kitchen measurements. More helpful than you'd think:

Recipelink.com. These guys have been doing it since 1996.

Lorann. They specialize in oils for flavoring:

Cocktail Database. Looks like the last post was May 19 of this year:

Vegan recipes (remember, they're vegetable dishes, which you've been eating since your traumatic childhood):

https://www.all-creatures.org/recipes.html

Recipe Source. Like Recipelink.com, these guys have been around forever:

Wood stoves, who the fuck knows.

Smitten Kitchen. I think I've pinned more of her recipes than anyone's:

https://smittenkitchen.com/

Case in point, her gingerbread, which I make every holiday season. This isn't the crybaby gingerbread you get at Starbucks. This is old-school, kick-in-a-Nazi's-door gingerbread, no fuckery allowed:

Wilton. If you've got freaky baking in mind. they've probably had a request for a pan shaped like your naughty, naughty idea:

Ina Garten's recipe for Flower Cupcakes. I tried making this as a yellow cake in sheet pan form and wasn't stellar:

Baking Bites. It seems like baking makes for Internet longevity:

https://bakingbites.com/

Crostini alla romana. Yep, this was probably for New Year's Eve:

And Italian stuffed mushrooms:

Guinness chocolate cake. This is spectacular. The same site has variants, one made in a cheesecake pan (it's not cheesecake, it just uses the pan) and one for cupcakes (I found them too rich):
