Skip It!!!

 

You know when you just want to view a recipe online and you click on the link (from Pinterest or Facebook or whatever) and it takes you to a website or blog and you have to read several pages before actually getting the recipe? It drives me crazy. Like, I don't want your life story; I just want the recipe! Why can't anyone give just a brief description and then post the recipe?


Same with YouTube videos on “how-to’s.” I don't need your life story or a huge intro. Just tell me HOW! You would think that with the modern, fast-paced world and people being busy a lot, they would make it convenient for others. Plus, who would be interested in someone’s life story when looking for a recipe?! They can read or watch that in their biography section. You know what I mean?


So, there I was, the other day, searching on Pinterest for a particular recipe, and once it redirected me to the website, I accidentally clicked on a link included in their “introduction”... Two hours later, I’ve subscribed to twenty cooking blogs, and I’m making a casserole dish that ends up burning in the oven when I sit back down to read more and forget to set the timer. Oops!


...I’ll have to try the non-bake option next time.


What do you guys think? Are you sick of long introductions and irrelevant content, or does that interest you? Me, either. Let me go check my email now to see if anyone’s posted any other interesting recipes...
