The people who write for recipe websites live in a whole different world from me. I’m sorry I’m but a mere peasant who doesn’t have a food processor, a bread maker, a taffy puller, a sous vid, an apple sharpener, a serrated rolling pin, a pasta folder, a mobius funnel, or a milk shaker. Oh how foolish of me, with my simple pedestrian life that I didn’t anticipate how your recipes in the top search results would require buttermilk, baker’s flour, executioner’s chocolate, truffle blubber, or, fermented saffron. Tallow? Oh how foolish of me for not thinking to prepare tallow, you’re right, I should simply go procure some from my lard cellar

“If it sucks hit da bricks” isn’t just a useful litany it’s also a skill you have to train.

Know what your time is worth
the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire
icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down
cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)
feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated
