David Brooks wrote a good article in the New York Times today that tries to help shift perspectives a bit to understand this. I'd highly recommend reading it.

At least I still have Jacques.
Man, I hadn't seen this. I'll have to dig a little deeper, but from a quick scan doesn't look awesome.
I've been a big fan for many many years. Doesn't change what he did for food television. And helped do (along with other people/companies of the same era) to food science. But, damn, can't a hero just stay a hero?
At least I still have Jacques.
I think that was a long time and another marriage ago.
I don't get that sense with him now, but could see that having been the case 20 or 30 years ago.
+1 for paprika. Works like a charm. Other great features too. I have all my recipes with all of my personal tweaks/notes from the past 10 years in there. Also, all of my 'special occasion' meal planning goes through there.
I'm probably old-school, but you may also find you get some good use out of cookbooks if you find good/reliable ones. They're also kind of fun to browse/explore once you have faith in the source.
A few I'd recommend: The Food Lab America's Test Kitchen Good Eats
If there's a cuisine you favor you, you might try finding a commonly recommended book or author in that area.
Hello from Kansas (burbs of Kansas City).
Like many, I came from reddit. Spent about 10 years there; about 5 just lurking, then about 5 years a little more engaged.
My hobby is hobbies. I think I just like learning and tinkering. My list of endeavors includes photography, diy audio, camping, cooking/smoking, woodworking, beer brewing, gardening, music (making and consuming), home diy, etc, etc.
Some lasted, some did not, others come and go.
So many times Ive had a nuanced question posed to a community of enthusiasts yield 1000% better results than several hours of searching and reading. I'm looking forward to exploring and interacting here.
Hello fellow northeastern Kansan. I totally relate to your cycling interests. I sometimes tell people that my hobby is hobbies.
To me it was helpful in trying to understand the perspective from which a group derive their actions. Much like you said. Usually a good first step in dealing with interpersonal conflict is to make an attempt to understand the other perspective. The end does seem to wander a bit, but I think there's some truth in the general premise that a large group of people feel left behind (in various ways for various reasons).
