[aciccarello] [snarfed] I haven't noticed any issues but Inoreader is complaining about bridgy fed's atom feed. I'll let you know if I can figure out what the error is more specifically.

#
[aciccarello] I wonder if it's any of these issues.

#
[snarfed] hmm thanks, will look
#
[snarfed] probably XML parsing error: <unknown>:778:629: mismatched tag , due to us injecting HTML content from Mastodon into the feed and claiming it's XHTML

[aciccarello] Cool, I think I escape all the html in my feed but it looks really messy. Thanks for taking a look.
#
btrem I'm modifying front matter for ingredient posts, with the idea of building an index like you see in recipe books, where there's a title and page number for key ingredients. So for me it'd be a title and link. So I will need to modify my ingredients list (currently an array of objects, where each object is an ingredient.)
#
btrem I'm not sure how I want to structure the objects. Lots of moving parts. I will probably want to index based on only part of the ingredient, e.g., orange carrots will probably be indexed on carrots.
#
btrem I think it'd be helpful to see examples or read articles about it. Any reading recommendations?
#
[aciccarello] I've played around with a special recipe language but didn't get far. Recipes have quite a lot of structural complexity. I've mostly manually tagged my recipes.

[aciccarello] It's called cooklang

btrem The cooklang approach is intriguing. I think I'll continue to separate ingredients from directions, but I wonder if I can tag the ingredient name with special characters and extract it. Probably not, but worth an investigation.
#
btrem To clarify: tag the ingredient in some manner like "1 large @onion@" and then add that recipe to the index under onion. But I don't know how easy it'd be to extract that from a front matter array in 11ty.
#
[aciccarello] Yeah, might be hard to get that into 11tys data model

#
[KevinMarks] Quantities are hard. I remember Google parsing cocktail recipes and getting very confused trying to convert oz into ml in a sensible way
#
[KevinMarks] Not to mention cups vs grams for various ingredients
#
[tw2113_Slack_] oof
#
[aciccarello] I'd love to add scaling to my site at some point but it seems hard for sure
#
[aciccarello] For this recipe you'll need 10 teaspoons
#
btrem It might be easier to just put the amount with the ingredient, and add a separate sub item to specify the index entry. { "2 large eggplant": {"index": "eggplant"}}. Not the easiest in terms of data entry, even in yaml.

[KevinMarks] There was the microsyntax Maureen used for tweeting recipes in the 140 char days. https://twitter.com/cookbook https://www.amazon.com/dp/1579654266/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_0ZqDybEKEV8BF
