Why I Can't Stop Watching Buzzfeed's "Tasty" Videos
Website: http://creativity-online.com/

To the Buzzfeed staff: If you're reading this, please consider this article as my formal application to be the next chef featured in an upcoming "Tasty" video. My infatuation with your videos is the main reason why I still continue to check my Facebook. As of lately, I simply can't scroll through my newsfeed without watching a pair of hands skillfully creating a batch of peanut butter cookie dough bites all in a matter of minutes. The quick cooking has cast a spell on me. Here's why:

1. The organization

As opposed to the inevitable calamity that ensues whenever I try to whip of a batch of chocolate chip cookies, the Tasty videos feature beautiful matching cookware, sparkling countertops, and effortless transitions from one ingredient to the next. Call me crazy, but I find the picture perfect filming of two hands dicing onions or seasoning chicken extremely satisfying.

2. The efficiency

Although my cooking skills are sub-par at best, a girl can still dream! Since most of the videos only average out to be about three minutes long, they give me hope that making such delicious creations should take minimal effort and time on my part.

3. The attention to detail

Whether its bubbling pasta sauce, drizzling carmel, or melting cheese, Tasty always pays attention to the most mouth-watering aspects of every dish. It's a food lovers dream and a dieters worst nightmare.

4. The final product

My favorite moment of every Tasty video is the voice that declares "oh yes!" once the food is prepared indicating that, at last, it's time to dig in. I couldn't even begin to count the number of times I've wished that I was the one eating the cheese-filled tater tots or slow-cooker chocolate lava cake at the end of a given video. To reiterate...Buzzfeed if you need another staff member, I'll happily send in my resume.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
