Google's Recipe Viewer. Mmm, Indian food...

It’s an idea whose time has come.  When you sit down and you’re looking to figure out what you want to cook for dinner, where do you turn?  Well, maybe you have a book of recipes or a cookbook of some kind to look through.  That’s all well and good, but what if your cookbook doesn’t have what you want to eat, or you don’t have what you need to make a recipe?  Then there’s trouble.  You turn to the Internet:  Epicurious, AllRecipes, Food Network.  Which site do you look at first?  It’s difficult!  Luckily, Google’s got just what you need after the launch of their Google Recipe Viewer.

Leave it to Google to make things easier for aspiring chefs!  Given Google’s search engine expertise, this is a natural progression into a more targeted way of searching, and targeted this is.  Google Recipe Viewer will allow searchers to sort recipes by the food items needed, the cooking time needed, and the total calories of the dish.  Google’s helping you be more expedient, thrifty, AND thin in one fell swoop!

This is an awesome service.  When I have to cook, I think I’ll put down the instant oatmeal and head over to Google to cook myself up some real food with real flavor.  Brilliant idea, Google.  This might be the best forehead-slappingly simple idea you’ve implemented.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
