I also don’t understand why they put pictures of the food on the front of cookbooks. The pictures are all inside! If you’re curious it only follows naturally to open the very well known right side of the book, bringing you straight to the recipes in question!

Can’t really complain because I’ve done the same thing before: surely, I, a well known good guy, must be being ironic and my bigoted comment will be understood as mocking bigots–not literally being one.

After hurting a few innocent people who had no way of knowing how cool I was being I’ve hopefully learned my lesson. Now, I’m sorry for the pain I’ve caused and trying to do better.
