Words are inadequate

I remember when we were living with Patrick, you were making pasta and actually measured out one cup of pasta rather than just dumping in however much you felt like eating. I thought it was peculiar. :)

About the only thing I won't poke at while it's cooking is rice, since I know that it really messes up rice if you do that. Everything else, since I don't time things either, I feel like I should go poke it occasionally to make sure it's not burning or sticking to the pan. Most of my recipes are along the lines of "combine these ingredients, apply heat until it's food".

Also, it's surprising that the version of this post in the Dreamwidth dimension has more comments than the Livejournal instance.
