Inspiration

Cooking is hard, especially in a tiny Manhattan apartment. In my early, single years in the city, my cooking hack routinely was to have my mom give me instructions over the phone while using bluetooth headphones to prevent having to fumble with a recipe book or a phone that keeps regularly goes to sleep.
