By the way:
They do that for 3 reasons: Keeping you on the site longer, which increases its rating with Google.
Adding more space for ads.
And preventing others from simply scraping and reposting the entire content on their site, since recipes by themselves can't be copyrighted, but written stories can.

True.

Although in Tolkien's case, I think no one bothered to tell him that writers like Dickens were paid per-word for what they wrote and he just figured he'd do what everyone he grew up reading did.

Is that true? That explains Great Expectations. I had to read that in high school and it just went on and oooooon.

I actually use my recipe blog to store passwords and credit card information. I've never had an issue.

How does that work?

Now stir in the sour cream - "56&fHR+6AakOUH5&#3FJ" brand works best?

You crazy?! Not in the instructions. In the narrative portion. Where I talk about my hike through the Yukon, where I meditated and during that time, hunter2

On the google note

It’s because Google prioritizes unique content and prioritizes the beginning of a web page more than the end

If they put the recipe at the top it would be flagged as duplicate content
