I have come to the conclusion that i love cooking but hate baking? Why? Because baking is too much like quantum physics. The act of observing changes the result of the experiment. I am not crazy, hear me out.

Think about it: When you open your oven to inspect the status of whatever it is you are baking, perhaps cutting into it to see if the inside is done, you are letting a lot of the heat out and the whole timing of the recipe is thrown off! How are you supposed to know how many extra minutes this adds to the baking time?!

It must have taken so much trial and error and so many wasted ingredients for the people who came up with the recipes for baking before they got it right...

Just a random thought that popped into my head today while i was preparing dinner.
