I’ve noticed that the more obvious something is, the more I don’t understand it. 🤷♂️

Comment on To “tent with aluminum foil”…

You just make a tent out of aluminum foil.
Sometimes the meaning is clear from the name, but just to keep you on your toes they’ll then talk about creaming butter or a bain-marie for melting chocolate.

Are you sure about that?

Its a human nature thing, I think. Like sometimes if something sounds too obvious we assume it has to be more complicated than that. The same way many people don’t realize a “meltdown” is a nuclear core literally melting downward through the ground.

I’d rather look something up and realize I didn’t have to, than not look it up and realize I should have.

Yeah, it says tent the foil, not blanket. Seems pretty obvious.
