Before it was always so sandy and icky yucky so I would buy a french press. Now, I got the brand of coffee with a course grind so it doesn't fall through my fine mesh strainer too much and shittify my coffee—side note, 'enshittify' feels overwrought; 'shittify' would already mean 'to become shit'—so now I get to sit high on my horse for not needing another unitasker in my itty bitty baby sized kitchen. AND I get to drink good coffee while I do it.

One of my thought experiments is to envision the minimum set of cooking supplies I would need to make all of my repertoire of foods. The only 'extras' that feel really essential to me are my pressure cooker and a peeler.

Recently, my whisk broke again and I got a new one that's just a single piece of metal from the secondhand shop. I really like it a lot. I want to get a little chef hat and a fake moustache so I can really get into my little chefy vibes. The only thing I miss about starting laser hair removal is I cannot have a little rakish moustache every once in a while. I teach little guys so sometimes I would wear a mask for a week and come back with a moustache and whenever I wear a mask my students are like 'oooooh what they got cookin' under there?'

What are your kitchen bugboos? What are the 'frivolous' things you will defend doing/having?

Not frivolous but two things that are definitely bougie as shit that you could take out of my cold dead hands are my espresso machine and my sous vide stick. First is self explanatory, the second one I eat a lot of fish and it’s way cheaper frozen in bulk. It usually comes in individually wrapped portions which can be chucked straight into a 145 degree bath and eaten right out of the pouch

Sous Vide stick is a god. I also throw in spices in the bag so they cook directly too. Melting chocolate? So goddamn easy I cry.
