My two favorites - How To Cook Everything (Mark Bittman) and Salt Fat Acid Heat (Samin Nosrat). The first is encyclopedic and will answer all the questions you ever have. The second is a joy to read cover to cover and will teach you the building blocks so you can start riffing on your own.

Echo the above + The Food Lab. Really great insight into why you do things a certain way

I used to get a subscription to cooking light magazine and just made it a point to cook 2-3 of those recipes each week. After a couple of years of that I organically learned the ropes! You could easily do this with different online recipes instead of a magazine if you prefer. I love skinny taste, cooking light and eating well.

I’ll likely have an interview early next week. The recruiter says it’ll be an introductory call with the co-lead of the firm’s privacy practice group, planning for 30 min or so. I’m a third year and this would be my first lateral so looking for advice on what I should know or ask for during the interview. Will also have a prep call with the recruiter so any tips on what to cover with them would be helpful, too.

Advice for getting over feelings of jealousy? Also related for me, how can I learn to be indifferent to people I don’t like… rather than actively dislike them? I feel jealous feelings only when it’s someone I don’t like. I want to get over both feelings… learn to be truly indifferent to others. I try to tell myself I shouldn’t care, but so far I am yet to feel it. On the inside I do know it bothers me.

Should I keep my new job or boomerang back to my old job? The new job pays 50K more base, 25K more bonus and I get 40K a year consulting for the old job so around 115K difference in cash (not counting equity).

So why even consider going back to the old job? The new job keeps me busy 12+ hours a day while the old job is a coast at 1-2 hours a day max.

My idea is not to enjoy the free time and sit on my *ss, but to figure out side gigs, passive income streams or even start a startup. (more)
