...How can adding cornstarch be the unacceptably time-consuming part of the process?

[-] FancyPantsFIRE@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

Have you tried starching corn? Takes forever!

Ah, like the old physicist's recipe for apple pie:

  1. First, you create a Universe...

Crumbly but good.

But then you end up learning that the universe is made of nothing.

That's why we have the multi-pan theory, to pie it all together

Do these people, like, think they're rating their own work or something? Like "Yeah, this was pretty mid, I kind of fucked it up so only giving myself 3 stars."

If you don't follow the recipe don't rate down for something caused by your lack of will that should be basic no?

That’s the premise of the whole community here. Welcome.

Other than the mid review score, this one isn't so bad. It's helpful for other people to see what NOT to do sometimes. Maybe I was considering leaving out the cornstarch until I read them say it comes out bad.

The problem is they aren’t reviewing the recipe. They’re reviewing their version of it.
