    How To Cook From Scratch Again: A Curriculum
    ============================================

    by Brooksie Glibbs, Oct 23, 2025

    The most common (and easiest) thing people do when it comes to
    their diet is complain. The range of gripes varies, but one
    recurring lament is about the monotony and unhealthy choices
    of always eating fast food.

    "Why am I eating another greasy burger again?"

    "When will I even find a meal that isn't just fries or fried
    chicken?"

    I am no saint; I have definitely whined about my own takeout
    choices more times than I can count, but after a short sulk,
    I usually do the obvious thing: open my kitchen, look for
    whatever fresh ingredients I have, try a simple recipe,
    or even decide to skip fast food altogether.

    *applause* Well done!

    Nearly everything is now overwhelmingly javascript.

    And “View Source” is less useful, because so much of the page is dynamically constructed.

    However, in Firefox at least, you can do “Select All” in the right-click menu, and then “View Selection Source”, and you will see what the dynamic scripting has actually done to the page.

    For added fun, bring up the browser console and look at all the warning
    and even error messages that appear on some sites. Don’t those web developers care about fixing those problems?
