Women chefs, do not apply

At the encouragement of the (no longer) tyro eater, I’ve succumbed to Twitter for exactly the reason the incomparable Glenn Greenwald at Salon has: It’s great for “concise derision.” So I’ve already noted that typing with your dick can be dangerous. But I can’t have been the only reader sitting with jaw agape at how a simple treatise on tacos could be stretched into such epic overwriting, far past parody. But at least he’s illuminated exactly what the problem with that feature is. Rarely is one recipe worth 10,000 words. I guess it’s cheaper to let ’em ramble into embarrassment than test a few more of what readers really want. I’m sure I’m repeating myself, but it’s been a long time since I saw anyone wandering around Fairway with a Sunday magazine as a shopping list. . . .
