Jamaican jerk chicken recipe

..,interminable absolute drivel about some trite bullshit I don’t care about..

…Litany of intrusive ads….

,,, finally, Ingredients…

…Shit, more dumb ads…

…Recipe

Whoever invented the “jump to recipe” button deserves a Nobel prize.

@SKT you mean you don’t love the personal backstory of when they made it with their Grandma, make it for all of their friends, go to the farmers market on Saturday to buy the ingredients, etc…

[goosehd]

…and as @mclaincausey the fucking ads…

[mclaincausey]

lol. The narcissism is out of control. Maybe they get paid by the letter. Or corny sentiment.

[SKT]

All of it is maddening. I usually say f it and just back out. Not worth it

[goosehd]

@SKT The problem is, there are a few gems to be found from time to time. You just have to wade through the sewer to get there.

[SKT]

@goosehd that’s a perfect summary and agree. Sometimes it’s worth a trip through the sewer.

I can’t stand the mall and I’m only here to drop off a couple things of my wife’s for repairs. If anybody ever scoffs at the price of your IH, just show them this from YSL… some sort of cotton overshirt. ‍️

[popvulture]

I think they just want you to scroll through and see as many ads as possible before you get what you came for. Remember that age when Google, social media, YT, etc were so novel? How far we've plunged into the capitalist hellscape.

Perfect time for Nana's brownies, though!

@SKT said in Random Rants:

Trivial rant but why do recipe websites have to be absolute trash and basically unusable?

So use this and there will be no need to rant about it again

Well, if you get picky you can. If you use it for a recipe that has let's say, a marinade, a cooking sauce, some fancy rice and a bread, then it gets confused.....So needs to used with some intelligence.....

And my rant is, if I want to set up a cooking/lifestyley/introspection website, then I can do what the fuck I want.

You don't have to read it

[SKT]

@Giles many thanks…you just saved me loads of frustration. And I actually agree with you in that I don’t mind the stories/lifestyle vibe…I mean it’s their site. What I hate are the pop up ads, the videos that self play, the constant reloads, that make navigating said site very unpleasant. But now I have a new tool to avoid that…brilliant

[Giles]

Yeah, it’s great. I bitched about the very same thing to @Alex once, it was him who told me about it..

[jordanscollected]

@northsouthdenimguy they got you to stop in and browse though!

[northsouthdenimguy]

@jordanscollected

I was dropping off a handbag where the snap popped off on one of my wife’s handbags.

when I saw the price of that shirt, I didn’t even bother looking at the suits, etc. can’t imagine how much those cost.

[mclaincausey]

@Giles you can do what you want, sure, then your sponsorship revenue dries up because everyone either skips it or uses an ad filter

[Walery Smirnoff]

@Tobi I agree with you. It was a bit slippery.

[Walery Smirnoff]

@Matt In 2013, a Canadian from Winnipeg came here to fish. Now he lives here.

[Giles]

Yeah, but he is Canadian......

[Walery Smirnoff]

I'll tell you even more. I see three Africans in Togliatti! Three!!! Exotic

I should be correcting exams, but I'm watching youtube videos about spinning top toys that are based on a Japanese kids show instead ... .
