Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I have come to the conclusion that i love cooking but hate baking? Why? Because baking is too much like quantum physics. The act of observing changes the result of the experiment. I am not crazy, hear me out.

Think about it: When you open your oven to inspect the status of whatever it is you are baking, perhaps cutting into it to see if the inside is done, you are letting a lot of the heat out and the whole timing of the recipe is thrown off! How are you supposed to know how many extra minutes this adds to the baking time?!

It must have taken so much trial and error and so many wasted ingredients for the people who came up with the recipes for baking before they got it right...

Just a random thought that popped into my head today while i was preparing dinner.

At home I'm a general cook, my spouse bakes and cooks specific dishes and cuisines. We mesh well, but I agree, I tend to not like baking at all!

I'm the only cook in our household. And i'm ok with that, so long as i don't get asked to bake. We can just buy baked goods if we want them. We have a very affordable bakery just around the corner (perks of living in a country obsessed with bread).

Ah, makes sense. In that case, that's fortunate!
