Hi, my name is Kathy and I'm a home cook from Las Vegas. I found this site via Eat Your Books and I wanted to participate in the cookbook threads. I have a slight obsession with cookbooks. :D

 

I'm just starting to blog about my cooking and just starting out on Instagram. Here's my link if you want to check it out. I'll follow you if you follow me!

There are many cookbook-obsessed members here.

 

Indeed. Kathy, I see you've discovered the Cookbooks & References forum (including, I assume, the Eat Your Books topic). If you ever get a chance to browse the thousands of posts in the five "Cookbooks -- How Many Do You Own?" forums -- which apparently have passed into senescence (i.e., no growth but not dead yet) -- you'll see yet another example of our cookbook obsession. O.o

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer
