Okay, I love looking at pictures of beautiful food. I love thinking about making it. Especially beautiful desserts like this one from Gourmet. But sometimes, it all just starts looking too difficult, complicated. Don’t get me wrong: I can handle my cookie recipes just fine, but start telling me to make a crumb-sealing layer on a cake, and I start to get tired. Here’s, “My Drunk Kitchen,” the cookies episode with a nice send-up of the “secret codes” in recipes. If you aren’t laughing by the end, well, loosen the f**k up.*

*That last bit wasn’t really as gratuitous as it seems: it’s a way of warning you that there’s some casual bad language in the video.
