Before You Cook Tomorrow… A Quick Thanksgiving PSA
|
Hi friends, If you’re celebrating, I hope you’re gearing up for a relaxing Thanksgiving tomorrow... or at least one with minimal kitchen chaos. Quick PSA before the big cooking day: watch out for AI-generated recipes floating around online. I fell for two of them on Pinterest recently, and while they looked totally normal at first glance, they turned out absolutely disgusting. In hindsight, the red flags were obvious: they had generic intro language, overly polished photos, weird formatting, no ads (real food blogs always have ads), no comments, and an “About Me” page that might as well have been written by ChatGPT wearing sunglasses. But hey, I was in a rush and just wanted an easy and quick recipe! Lesson learned. Bloomberg actually covered this whole issue, and this archived link works without the paywall: https://archive.ph/yL9XY If you want something to read while you’re procrastinating on prep (or hiding from it), here are a bunch of new pieces I’ve published:
If you end up making something amazing tomorrow, hit reply and tell me what you cooked! I love seeing what everyone makes for the holidays. And if you’ve personally run into any AI-recipe fails… please tell me I’m not alone. Feel free to forward this to anyone who might need last-minute shopping help (or a heads-up to double-check those Pinterest recipes). And a quick reminder — my Amazon gift card giveaway is still going strong if you haven’t jumped in yet. Wishing you a smooth, delicious, AI-recipe-free Thanksgiving tomorrow! |

Hi there! This is a bit of a random mix today, but it’s basically what I’ve been looking at lately. On one end of the spectrum… I’ve been browsing MyTheresa again. Definitely not Amazon-level pricing, but if I’m going to spend more on something, I’d rather it be a piece I’ll actually wear for years. I’ve ordered from them a few times now, so if you’re curious what the experience is like (shipping, returns, customer service, all of that), I wrote a full review here:👉 MyTheresa review On the...

Hi there! I know… It’s been a minute since my last newsletter. 😅 I just got back from a pretty wild trip to Rwanda, where I went gorilla trekking… and managed to make some of the biggest travel mistakes I’ve ever made. (EEK!) That said, it was still one of the most surreal, unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve started sharing everything on the blog and YouTube—what went right and what I wish I knew before going. 👉 Read about Rwanda / gorilla trekking👉 Watch the video But in the...
