Theoretically I enjoy living with people but unfortunately when you tell people you're a neuroatypical raccoon with twelve ongoing hobbies, completely random work hours, and a series of admittedly unusual lifelong compulsions they tend to hear that and go "oh haha you're trying to be Quirky okay" and then save their ten million questions and concerns for when you can't run away
stealingmirrors replied to your post “rolling cookie dough I made a few days ago into...”
that pasta you talked about in the tags sounds actually divine??? would that i could be a friend in your kitchen, that all sounds lovely
...it was really, really good, even reheated in the office kitchen or left on the countertop as I bustled about, working from home.
Honestly, I have yet to encounter a recipe from America’s Test Kitchen that isn’t good, easy to understand, and most importantly, flexible---I have Jamaican beef handpies in the freezer, I’ve left pastry proofing for forty-eight plus hours; even in the recipe below I basically kept stirring and adding pasta water until the cream sauce was exactly the consistency I wanted, no measurements required. I love a recipe so durable that you actually can’t fuck it up, unless you have truly no knowledge of cooking at all, in which case: sorry and also, thank you for supporting the takeout economy.
So in celebration of great recipes and the people who hate them, from America’s Test Kitchen Vegetables Illustrated:

as much as i am a boogara i do not think the average american ghosthunter could manage living in a 100 year+ old european house with the amount of weird cracks and wood settling and pipes clanging i hear on a daily basis
all alone in the house so set up the sitting room speakers to play Gallifrey: Enemy Lines in cobbled together 'surround sound' and. well. forgot it started like that. 🙃🙃🙃
