And I have absolutely no problem with that. When my dad told me "son, you don't have to step into every puddle to know you'll get wet," I didn't need a rigorous proof of the statement. When my wife says "wash the canned beans & chick peas before you cook them" I do it without asking (as I have been trained to).
- frossie 16y agoWell I certainly don't feel like that. Cooking only became interesting to me when I realized there are real answers to the "why do it like that" question. Why rinse the chick peas? To wash away preservatives? Because the slime is off-putting? Because the extra starch will otherwise over-thicken the dish? Dude, how can you NOT want to know?
