I don't know how people do it -- I mean, I can cook and sometimes it is delicious, but it's nothing worst than waisting 2 hours on something and then at the end to find out that I blew the dish for some reason.
Don't you ever spend a couple of hours trying out an idea in code only to find out later that it's a complete wash? Making mistakes in cooking is no different from any other activity - it can be a valuable learning experience if you recognize it. Plus, in cooking, you can usually still eat your mistakes.
- spydum 15y agoI think many people don't find cooking fun, it's like laundry or doing the dishes: it's a chore. I wonder if this is due more to cultural influences than anything. It seems there are plenty of other cultures (mostly European) that seem to really enjoy cooking, and so you find it more often in those places.
- shpxnvz 15y agoYeah, that's a good point. I suppose I figured that, at least in this community, people would tend to view cooking as a creative endeavor not unlike hacking, rather than some menial repetitive task. Different strokes.
