EVE Online: 99% of the time you sit around waiting for something to happen, but that 1% of action is what hooks people like crack, you don't get interviewed by the BBC for a WoW raid.

Quoth Food Lady View PostJester, baking is math and chemistry.
It's all good. I'm happy with the status quo on this one.

Quoth Jester View PostI think you misunderstand me. I know HOW to bake, I understand the concept, and I could actually bake if I had the desire. But I have neither the patience nor the inherent WANT to do so. See below.
3 cups flour, 1 cup water, half palm of yeast, tiny palm of salt and a blorp of olive oil. And you can do without a cup in a pinch. All you need to understand is the texture of the bread dough at certain points. In an absolute pinch I can make bread using a baking sheet and an oven, working from starting with nothing more than a mound of flour with a dash of salt and the yeast.EVE Online: 99% of the time you sit around waiting for something to happen, but that 1% of action is what hooks people like crack, you don't get interviewed by the BBC for a WoW raid.

Yes, that's bread. But you and I both know that there is more to baking than bread, and a lot of it requires precision and patience....neither of which I was ever really blessed with.
On the upside, my favorite Sous Chef (my niece who I just went to Texas to watch graduate high school) can bake just about anything, from scratch, without a recipe. She's a great cook AND a great baker. And she was stoked to find out that, when I die, she inherits all my recipes, including the secret ones. (Yes, that means the chili recipe as well.) Though she did tell me not to advertise that, as she was worried she might have to fear for her life.
