Something we all talked about doing one day

Back in my bbs days during the ’80s, I hung out a lot in the cooking newsgroups, as did a lot of other people.  Many of us talked about how, someday, we would have a special computer in the kitchen, where we could have all our recipes stored on disk and pull them up to read and use without ever having to print out anything.  (Remember, this was in the days when laptops didn’t exist as such, only Major Wireheads had their own home networks, and NObody had wireless networking at all.)

Fast forward to today.   I wanted to cook stuffed pork chops but didn’t really want to improvise.  I’d poked around in Meal-Master until I found a recipe I liked and that seemed possible, given what I had on hand.  But instead of cranking up the printer and making a hard copy to work from, I grabbed Pitr and hauled him into the kitchen with me.  I called up the recipe I wanted on his screen, and referred to it as I cooked.  (For those who might worry, I should say that Pitr sat on a counter several feet from the stove, and out of the path of splatters.  I don’t have keyboard or screen condoms for him, and don’t particularly want them either.)

Working from the recipe on screen, I got the pork chops prepared and in the oven just as fast as if I’d had a cookbook or a printout at hand, and when I was done I just washed my hands, picked up Pitr, and left the chops to bake.  It took twenty years, but the future we talked about has come to pass.
