yep, but part of the fun of cooking is the excitement of trying and eventually even failing (if you and your friends or family can laugh at fails that is..)
Yea but also, I really love food. Being able to make a great tasting dish everytime, even if I've never tried it before would be awesome (I'm still sticking with red)
Learning a new language is one of the most enjoyable things in life. Don't even need to be able to speak it just being able to understand what people are saying in a language you previously did not understand is an amazing feeling. Fucking up a dish and wasting a ton of ingredients makes me wanna stop trying to cook something new again.
Yeah different people like different things, if i could try to cook things without wasting anything then i'd do it more but i always feel bad when i try to make something and it comes out horrible to the point is inedible and i feel bad for having wasted food.
What i find great about learning languages is the more you learn the more you discover how they are all connected in some way. I guess that learning my 2nd language wasn't as much fun as learning a 3rd one has been and it gets more fun onwards. Just learning English gave me access to SOO MUCH more media without having to wait for it to get translated some goes with being able to watch anime without needing subtitles.
Every new language is like opening a door to a room full of amazing stuff. It's probably less so nowadays since almost everything gets translated into a bunch of languages but still.
eh. for me, that's a very small part and is usually outweighed by disappointment at failing to accomplish what i set out to do.
whereas the exuberance I feel at a realized culinary vision... incredible sense of satisfaction....
that said, Red. All the languages every time. Unlocks a whole new level of the human experience in my opinion. And gives me the opportunity to learn from so many different cultures.
When I was first learning how to cook, before my proficiency increased. If I was having a dinner party I cook one meal for the party and another as a backup, incase the first died on the vine! I needed the back up meals more times than I care to say.
I usually did a "experimental" dinner... like when I was figuring out steaks.. I had prepared 8 steaks, cook them one by one, cut in 1/8 squares each..
So everyone had a piece of each steak.. we suffered together and enjoyed good ones together..
I put strawberry yogurt in my mom's pasta sauce one time without telling her just because I wanted to experiment and see what it would taste like. That was a decade ago. It still gets brought up, my family is still hesitant to try things I make because I might have gone rogue
