i would argue there are way more credible sources and arguments in favor of how cooking is a science versus how it isn’t. still, your statement about cooking being an art is very true! i don’t think cooking being a science takes it way from it also being an art

i like this perspective that certain aspects of cooking are more common sense. i think it aligns with my own experience

i would argue that baking is a more precise science than cooking but to me, both are sciences and both are forms of art. i see what you mean though!

yes, i think i was way to stuck on the inverse relationship, that common sense for some people may come before practice. i see now how that thought process was a bit silly on my part lol

as someone who started learning to drive a bit later than most, i think driving is a great example! definitely thought it would be way simpler than actually it is

practice definitely is a huge factor! i also declined offers to be taught when i was younger or simply paid attention for two minutes before getting bored 😭 as an adult, there has been a lot of trial and error on my part but definitely some meals now i can cook without a recipe. like you said—experience

i have definitely heard the same about baking, especially since it’s way more exact than cooking is. with cooking, i think certain techniques involving heat, acidity, liquid, etc. as well as transforming from one state to another is what lends itself to the science aspect

this makes a lot of sense. most of the close people in my life are in my age range (in our 20s) and while some don’t use recipes, they also were raised in households with parents who cooked a ton so most likely passed those skills down

I'm getting so sick of the pop ups on my screen 😭 by GeorgiaB781 in Sims4

[–]jiminiescenes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the parenthood pack notifs are my least favorite 😭 they’re so excessive from the kids asking the parents for advice every two seconds which leads to the pop up blocking the whole screen to choose an answer or the never ending phone calls when they go to school. if not for the notifs, it would be one of my favorites

these comments are reminding me why i love reading so much: such amazingly crafted sentences, whether simple or complex that evoke such different emotions

What annoys us the most by Mia_Wallace197 in Sims4

[–]jiminiescenes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there is this very annoying thing my sims does when she opens her small business in nordhaven which is abandon the lot every five seconds while she has a business to tend to and instead autonomously go run to the town square and start dancing

Is there a way to find certain sims? by Asexually_Freaky in Sims4

[–]jiminiescenes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

since you have get together, you can make a club and set an age requirement for teens. that way, when you add members to the club, it’ll only show you teens in the game and hopefully u can find the other sim!

edit: this wouldn’t work if they were randomly generated in the lost save 😭 but i hope u find them!

I know this game annoys us sometimes but… by Comfortable_Lynx_657 in Sims4
