For a long time now I have theorized that many of the people working at the formerly prestigious but now left-wing propagandizing New York Times must be millennials. It's evident not only in so many of their brainwashed political articles, but also in several other sections of the paper. (The only one that matters to me is the Sunday magazine crossword puzzle, and more and more they are being created by youngsters and thus are less challenging by the week.) Still, it's only been a theory, but yesterday I had proof.

| First you catch a tuna ........ |
The cooking page of the magazine, usually showcasing esoteric dishes that take about a week to shop for and a couple of days to prepare offered a recipe for a tuna salad sandwich! WTF? Yes sirree, they really did. They told you some history of how Julia Childs loved tuna salad, which was supposed to impress you with their insider knowledge and which I glossed over, eager to read the ingredient list assuming it included something unusual like eye of newt, truffles or maybe even something I never heard of. But nope, it was open the can, add some mayo, chop some celery and throw in some capers. Not even any dill or turmeric or lemon!
I suppose the young readers of the Times don't know how to prepare meals for themselves, instead relying on take-out and services like Blue Apron that send you all the ingredients in a box, with instructions. Oh well, at least now they can fix themselves a tuna salad sandwich. (Sigh.)
