Look, most of those 'find your roots' things are just trying to sell you something. But the Ancestry app? It's actually practical. You can use it while you're waiting for the stock to simmer, no problem. It's got a huge database, so you can actually find stuff out, not just get a bunch of maybes. Plus, if you spit in a tube and send it to them, they'll tell you what kinda mutt you really are. It's not gonna make you a better cook, but knowing your family history? That's like understanding your ingredients. It adds something. And honestly, it's a hell of a lot more interesting than watching the Food Network for the tenth time. Quick enough to use while the bread proofs, that's what I'm talking about.
