the most fascinating thing going on in my life now is the 3 dinners a week i cook w ppl very unused to cooking
things that fascinate me abt the actions of these ppl unused to cooking:
-stir very diffidently esp when stirring in pan
-seem to believe that turning the heat down on anything will do nothing but give them more time to stir/turn/etc

more stuff abt the ppl inexperienced w cooking:
-bad at "chunking;" will do stuff like throw garlic into the pan & then read the recipe to see what happens next!!! omg i stand by w water now
-different set of gross out reactions than me. will be grossed out by raw stuff

they also seem very surprised by the amount of "touching food directly w hands" that happens in the cooking process. sorry guys hands are useful
im not saying any of this to make fun of them, they& #39;re learning pretty fast, i would feel very confident w eg rm making oven fries from scratch by himself now. but it legitimately does fascinate me that they not only don& #39;t know things but have consistent misapprehensions
their mutual bête noire seems to be anything involving oil in a pan. boiling & baking seem much more available to them. i think they could definitely make a baked pasta casserole from scratch now
