Baking Story
Let's start this lesson with one of the funniest baking stories.
One night Mrs. Jael and her husband, who were not very experienced baker, decided
that they wanted to bake a really special muffin. So they went through all of their
cookbooks, found the recipe they wanted to make, wrote down all of the ingredients,
and set off for Whole Foods. It took them a while to find all of the ingredients, going up
and down every walkway multiple times, and in the end there was still one ingredient
that they just couldn't find anywhere. They looked in the spice section, the dairy
section, everywhere. Finally, they went to customer service and asked where the
"minus” (which they pronounced "meenus") could be found. The man behind the desk
had no idea what “minus” was, so he looked it up on the computer with no luck. They
were irate. Here they were, trying to cook, trying to make a nice meal, they had come
all the way to the "fancy” grocery store only to find it didn't carry an essential
ingredient?! Unacceptable! Finally, they decided to just try the recipe without the
“minus” since they only needed two tablespoons of it anyway. As they left Whole Foods
with their groceries, though, they were still grumbling about what kind of grocery store
doesn't have an ingredient like “minus”?! When they got home and looked at the recipe
again, they realized that the recipe had called for "1 cup of flour, minus 2 tablespoons"
but it just so happened that the "minus 2 tablespoons” was on the next line in the
ingredient list.
