What's the dumbest thing you thought as an adult that you recently learned was wrong? (lemmy.world)

I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same amount(s) as one of the actual plastic baking measuring cups that go inside each other like Russian dolls lol

I thought they were different somehow (something something imperial metric yadda yadda yaddda)

Your turn to come clean Lemmings!

**EDIT: to clarify, I mean volumetrically for measuring liquids

It wasn't dry stuff, is was water and milk for cooking. It was fine :) Its a good guideline tho re:consistency and definitely for baking/dry ingredients.

I also only eat to live, I don't have a super sensitive palate so its 99% the time just as well

If you have to eat to live, you may as learn to make it taste as good as you can. You may as well derive as much enjoyment as you can from the things you have to do anyway.

Meh, I'd rather it be little more than passable, so its not addictive and I don't get fat and also corralled into cooking for anybody else unless I want to ;)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Yup, you're right. I wouldn't want to end up fat like Gordon Ramsay either.

In case anyone wants to see the unedited retorts from this chucklefuck:

Ahh, internet. Never change

[–] [email protected] -5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I'm too tired to destroy you haha, lets be more transient on this line of inquiry;)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You're right. Truce. I really shouldn't be facing off in a battle of wits against the unarmed anyway.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Thanks for the 1/2-baked retort, ch[i]ef 🤣

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)
