Your use of the word "fuss", together with that of a timer instead of being an active participant in the cooking experience, clearly explains what's the difference between the method i proposed and your way of dealing with what you ingest.
Feel free to continue your way, if it' the same to you.
- JoeAltmaier 9y agoDon't understand at all. Why is it a problem that I'm preparing the sauce (which actually requires my attention) while the pasta is cooking? Anything other than arrogance? Don't even try to make me believe that you get 'better pasta' by fussing over it. Its not the star of the dish - its just a vehicle, and 'cooking' is just making it softer. Not adding anything magical.
- sokoloff 9y ago(I'm on your side; I want the absolute least of my personal time and attention devoted to food preparation.) IMO, tomcooks' comments aren't arrogance; they're an expression that some people genuinely enjoy the process of cooking and are perfectly happy (in fact, happiest) if they remain thoroughly engaged in the preparation steps. To me, it's a bunch of wasted time; to them, it's enjoyable. Replace "cooking dinner" with "computer programming on an unpaid side project" and many HN readers will understand that we/they enjoy it immensely while others would see it as a tedious waste of time.
- tomcooks 9y agoWhat problem? I was suggesting you give it a try, honestly couldn't care less if you eat feces to save some digestion time while you're at it. Feel free to continue your way, bon appetit!
- JoeAltmaier 9y agoFair enough. I stand corrected.
