Maybe my wording was a little funky. I meant that there are static elements, but when taken as a whole it's actually very dynamic

Sure, but just like scientific technique, there are factors that give way to leniency, substitution, or alteration, and it takes intuition (based on fundamental understanding) to guess where they exist successfully. With cooking and science, there are tried and true iron rules and practices, but as a whole they are not static.
Of course, you can't just add a set amount of water to flour to make bread, because flour can be different according to brand. You have to go by experience. However, you do need to add a certain amount of sugar to yeast, and let the yeast activate appropriately (I'm talking about proper yeast not your dried instant bollocks), and you also need to know when to add the salt so as not to kill the yeast.
Experience and intuition are a luxury you can afford once you've learnt the techniques.

Re: Experimenationary in Ramen: A Food Thread
That's bread making, it's its own complicated process. Udon noodles are easy! About teaspoon of salt for every 2 cups all purpose flour (or half low gluten half high gluten), and enough water to make it just a tiny tiny bit sticky. No yeast. That's something any woman could get behind, right? Just like with any doughy thing, you need to play with flour during manipulation of dough, e.g. cutting the noodles. Eventually I can just type out my recipe, but that takes the fun out of it :(
complicated = tedious (no fun)

It's ok, I know how to make udon noodles. And yes, there are many very simple dishes you can just throw together. I love going into people's houses (with their permission) and making something for dinner out of their random ingredients. I enjoy the challenge. But I can only make decent food because I've spent the last 15 years of my life learning how to cook through recipes.

Recipes are like Haynes manuals for food. If you follow the instructions and have the right tools it is hard to go wrong. I enjoy cooking (although I just buy noodles to be honest Blue Dragon ramen noodles are pretty good)

Oh God yes. There's a dimsum restaurant in Soho that does little egg custard tarts that make me jizz in my pants.
I have just realised I don't have any butter.....hmmm....Trex should do.

You're not alone, there are lots of other blokes who have a very small cock... maybe you could find some help for that by searching Google.

Re: Experimenationary in Ramen: A Food Thread
Speaking of food, I know how to make eggs, but I usually put food into a microwave oven to warm it up and then I eat it. OP, I am glad you know how to make some good food!

It's the chickens that make the eggs, you are just heating and eating their ovulations.

It's blaringly obvious that you're trying to bait me into sending you a picture of my massive cock. I'd be a fool to be tricked into doing that for the third time.

Re: Experimenationary in Ramen: A Food Thread
Oooo that's an interesting confession... so you've already sent pictures of your tiny cock to members here twice before eh? ... I wonder who they were... chavis must be one of them obviousment... as spastic in chief he'd be first to get one... but who else?

That's an easy one, whichever members say I have a big cock have seen pics of it.
Edit: Why does a food thread lead to penis? If you ask a girl, food for thought, will she eventually be thinking of stimulation?

These were the first two:
As you can see they are indeed quite large, especially for small breeds (of chicken, not American....although that too).

Re: Experimenationary in Ramen: A Food Thread
Yeah, I saw when I went back to the 20p thread.
Although I didn't do what you said. I clicked your link but not Idol's, if a bacon sandwich was what his was.
I rarely click external links because they usually involve reading subject matter which I did not deem appropriate for ingestion :mellow:

I provided a context post factum, so you're all out of excuses, or you're blatantly lying given the choice of words.

Re: Experimenationary in Ramen: A Food Thread
:ermm: wut
I know you like explanations, so here goes:
I opened your link in a different tab cus it involved a member here so I decided it might interest me. I didn't do the same with Idol's cus it was external and had iPhone written next to it.
I subsequently got distracted and couldn't really remember why I had it open but replied anyhow.

It'll all become clear when you open Idol's link. When I say, not if, when.

Re: Experimenationary in Ramen: A Food Thread
Why would I open it.
I already know it's a bacon sandwich.
