Used a couple of US recipes recently and most of the ingredients are in cups, or spoons, not by weight. This is a nightmare to convert. Do Americans not own scales or something? What’s the reason for measuring everything by volume?

      Bah!

      Bread is a non measurement baking thing.

      It’s more of an art than a science, unlike the rest of fucking baking.

      Cooking is supposed to be innovative and spontaneous, not measured down to the last gram!

      I may have very strong feelings about baking and its precision needed, except for actual cooking time, that shit is the most important but it’s up in the air, so just keep opening the oven to check it.

      I really really hate fucking baking.
