Quora is, I guess, a social media site where people ask questions and other people answer them. And the quality of questions have really gone down hill in the last couple of months. I think part of it is they're monetizing and people are getting fractions of pennies for questions they post, so they're posting really stupid stuff. Here's an example:

What are the ingredients, tools, and utensils to be used and correct the procedure of baking cookies?

What you are asking for are all summarized in an amazing new invention that now can be discussed publicly. It summarizes the assembling of ingredients, the tools used and utensils. It describes procedures used in mixing and the subsequent deployment of the mixed cookie dough.

It is called…

Drum roll, please…

Wait for it…

A cookbook.

I heartily recommend cookbooks from America’s Test Kitchen and Milk Street, either will serve you well. A lot of people like the Betty Crocker cookbooks, I have no personal experience with them. I bought a Joy of Cooking book for a flourless chocolate cake recipe, which is excellent.

Ye gods and little fishes, the questions these days.


At least I get to exercise my snark and sarcasm. A similar question was something like 'What kitchen appliances can damage prepared food?' and I glowingly suggested putting prepared food under the broiler for two hours.
