@grumpasaurus @bhawthorne Oh man, there is a website that I can't seem to find right now, but it's essentially a bunch of recipes in a sort of "raw" format; no ads, no stories, no ratings, just lots of diverse recipes.

I'm letting you know even though I haven't found it, in case anyone else sees this and goes "Oh, yeah, it's this".

@grumpasaurus @bhawthorne Oh! based.cooking found it!

EDIT: Because this toot kinda blew up, here are some other (I would even say better) alternatives to the above site:

en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook

And this is maintained by the wonderful @cassidy: blaede.family/recipes/

Cassidy James :eos: :gg: :fh:

@b4ux1t3 @grumpasaurus @bhawthorne nice! I’m happy for anyone to use my family’s recipe site, as well; I had the same approach to provide an easily updatable archive for my extended family. 😁 blaede.family/recipes/

@ScruffyJunco @cassidy @b4ux1t3 @grumpasaurus @bhawthorne BBC Food is probably not the best recipes in the world for everything, but there's a decent recipe there for almost everything I cook.

@cassidy @b4ux1t3 @grumpasaurus @bhawthorne We also have an online family recipe archive - happy for anyone to make anything and provide feedback on the recipes. They assume basic expertise with baking as some of them are copied verbatim from ancient note cards and are missing little things like "detailed instructions" (one notecard read "Mix as usual").

Man do I love the rants at the bottom of the page 😄

@b4ux1t3 @grumpasaurus Thanks. It looked great until I got to the crypto cash solicitation at the end. I’m not comfortable dealing with anyone associated with that.

Chris P. :trek_ds9_sisko:#1️⃣

@bhawthorne @grumpasaurus That's fair enough. My brain seems to just filter that crap out these days, I hadn't even noticed it.

I know a few other sites have popped up in the last couple years doing similar things, this was just the one that seemed to stick in my memory. If I happen on another I'll drop a link here.

We need a "Wikipedia but for recipes"

@grumpasaurus @b4ux1t3 I keep one of those on my phone that has served me well for years. I think I originally got it from the Reluctant Gourmet in 2012:

Meat Temperatures & Doneness Chart
The “Remove” temperature on the left is the target temperature to remove from heat source. The “Ideal” temperature on the right is the ideal internal temperature after resting. These temperatures are all Fahrenheit. Note, these are not USDA Recommendations. The USDA temperatures are conservatively 10º – 15º higher because of food safety but not many professional chefs are cooking your medium-rare steak to 150º F. You would send it back in an instant.

@jkn @b4ux1t3 remembered this one too, there are a lot of these "Wikimedia Books" on a bunch of different craft topics too. most of them are quite useful, some need to be improved a lot.

Chris P. :trek_ds9_sisko:#1️⃣

@glowl @jkn Yeah, I even knew about wikimedia books, I just never thought to look for a cookbook!

It goes to show that I've never really sat down and done any thinking on the topic, I just saw a site that didn't have the BS from other recipe sites and wrote it down.

@b4ux1t3 @bhawthorne @grumpasaurus humanity must learn to document things they can touch, it will always be erased at some point. digital data can be deleted & scriptures can be discarded. it is futile but attempts must be maintained or history will be lost as we forget how to function on instinct for easy access of content.

@bhawthorne @b4ux1t3 @grumpasaurus

I’ve noticed that when I see the word “based,” the word “crypto” often isn’t far behind.

Chris P. :trek_ds9_sisko:#1️⃣

@toddz @bhawthorne @grumpasaurus eh, based is just a slang term. It's more often used by younger folks, and crypto folks are (generally) younger.

It's like saying "whenever the word cool is used, drugs aren't far behind" in the 80s.

@b4ux1t3 @bhawthorne @grumpasaurus

LOL, that’s likely true. My sampling is mostly Linux YouTubers who turn out to be alt-libertarian crypto/web3 wanna-Thiels.

@grumpasaurus @toddz @b4ux1t3 @bhawthorne This whole thread is 🔥 no cap

Translator's Note: That is to say, this whole thread is highly enjoyable and this is a fact.

Chris P. :trek_ds9_sisko:#1️⃣

@toddz @bhawthorne @grumpasaurus I myself only know this because I have some cousins who have kids that are the right age, and they basically universally despise crypto (I may or may not have had a hand in that), but use based to describe everything that I would have described as "cool" at their age.

That they _also_ use "cool" is really confusing to me.

ikanreed

@b4ux1t3 the semantic difference in common modern usage between based and cool is really simple. Based implies a degree of defiance, an adherence to ones own way above others. But also the speaker likes it.

Cool now more explicitly means a more relaxed kind of positive connotation.

Biggles

@b4ux1t3 @toddz @bhawthorne @grumpasaurus it *was* used by the youngs, then the right wing reactionaries, christofascists and crypto bros corrupted it to mean the opposite of how they use 'woke', which they also corrupted into meaning 'socially progressive, but it's a pejorative'.
