I love Josh’s anti-classism so much. I grew up in a single parent household that didn’t have time/the ability to cook. I taught myself as an adult and ended up loving it. I cook with this stuff a lot. Shit, the RealLemon juice ends up in a lot of my cocktails. Sure, I like fancy ingredients when I can afford them and I have things I get picky about using – but I have bad hands, mincing garlic is painful as fuck. There’s a lot to be said for knowing how to work with what you have. Don’t shame people for trying, don’t shame people for feeding their families things that they enjoy.
if you are only a good cook if you have access to premium ingredients at whole foods or above prices then you arent really a good cook
i’ve started reading tvl and no amount of posts telling me there’s a “huge tonal shift” could have prepared me for this HUGE TONAL SHIFT this is the funniest fucking thing i’ve ever read it genuinely goes like:
louis, narrator of iwtv: as i wandered the streets of paris, i wished most of all for death. i had called to god, to satan, anyone, to find meaning in it all. but for an evil creature such as myself there is no place in this world. there can be no love where this evil lies. it was as though a veil separated me from all that could be good and righteous. i did not deserve to love and be loved in return, not by claudia, lestat, armand. to attempt it would be a sisyphean task, a fools tale. and yet…… the need for hole from armand was so great. greater was only the need for…….. living human blood.
lestat, narrator of tvl: hey guys, my name is lestat, you may know me because i’m really hot and sexy. english isn’t my first language so sorry if i make any mistakes!! okay here’s my story: after rotting beneath the earth for decades, my hot and sexy body has finally risen from the ground. i used to be depressed, but now i’m slutting it up again in the 20th century! first thing i did was get some (hot and sexy) new clothes and then wore them while riding my (hot and sexy) motorcycle and listening to bach on my sony walkman. while i was watching this super niche indie film (you’ve probably not heard of it) “apocalypse now” i realized that i’m so evil that i shouldn’t exist. but then i realized what could make me deserve to live on this planet: rock n roll music.
