I guess most cooking is a lengthy series of wetting the dries and drying the wets. Farm to table, dry to wet.

It's almost like how most city-scale power generation is still just larger and more technical ways to produce steam.
Mmmm power steam
I thought we were having sour steam
Except battery, wind, solar, hydro and gas in places still using SCGT - IIRC some data centres are using SCGTs because its cheaper in the short term than a more efficient CCGT.

Depends on how much processing the food gets, I suppose. Not all food is heavily processed. Fresh and frozen vegetables and fruits, for instance.
I guess that depends on whether you consider a frozen vegetable a wet or a dry.
upon closer investigation, i notice that water is added before each processing step and removed afterwards.
- give water to the plants so they can do the growing, then remove moisture from harvest to make it shelf-stable.
- mix flour with water to shape to dough, then dry the finished noodles to make them shelf-stable.
- mix noodles with water for cooking, then remove the water
- mix the noodles with sauce to make it easier digestible.
Yeah literally the dry part is just "prevent microbes from taking over between steps"
You could skip drying for most of this if you just went to the next step and cooked it.
You don't have to dry noodles. You could make the noodles then boil them fresh, and often people buy noodles fresh to do so because yes, it tastes fresher. If someone wanted to make their own noodles from flour it's worth trying.

It's not only a matter of freshness, but also of texture. Moreover pasta fresca (non-dried pasta, I don't know if that has a specific name in English) is oftentimes made with eggs (pasta all'uovo) or with a different kind of flour than dried pasta.
There are so many variables that you can't just say "it tastes better because it's fresher": it tastes differently because it's a different process for a different purpose!
And that's why I love pasta and noodles in general: a lot of cultures have taken the same three ingredients and combined them slightly differently to produce wildly different results! Ain't that amazing??? ❤️

This wets my dry .... mouth
This is magnificent comrade.
Reminds me of something a classmate in primary school said about corn on the cob: throw away the outside, cook the inside, eat the outside, throw away the inside
Use energy to heat the house. Use energy to make food cold inside the fridge which is inside the warm house.
Snip snap, snip snap!
You've no idea of physical toll. three vescatomys have on a person.
Can i join your religion sir?
Literally how an experienced chef will explain a recipe to you
Middle bottom is wetting the wets, isn't it?
No cuz you just Dried the Wets in the collander, so they're Drys now.
I get that commentor’s thought though. Even though excess water was strained off of the noodles, no one would really consider them dry at that point.
Not wet-less, but just less-wets
Dampen the damps

I don't know why the last panel got me so good. Maybe it's the subtly larger font size that made me read it as if it were the last line before the bass drops

All that work just to put pregrated cheese from a shake carton on it?? If you're weirdly in love with it you do you, but otherwise do yourself a favor and grate some real parm onto that.
Cheese production also involves a lot of wetting and drying
Wait, how'd the cheese get pregretant?
When a mommy and a daddy love eachother very much, the man puts his dick cheese into the woman’s vaginal smegma and they make a baby gouda.

Real Parmesan cheese? In this economy!?
It is the dusted dried wets
I have an electrical cheese deblocking machine (I think it's called a grater) and I can't do parm. It smells like feet to me. And not good feet like taleggio. Get me romano

If you show this to an Italian person IRL they'd probably send you to a hospital
/s
So much dries.
Literally every time it's mostly just a way to preserve it between steps, and you could probably skip the dry and go directly to the next step.

our properties out here are so dry it will take at least a couple days of solid rain to erase the drought. the last couple months everyone around us has gotten rain but it always fades out before reaching us. dunno why. i watch the radar every time some rain gets close, but just like a hex if a front line long enough to hit us splits apart and literally goes around leaving us parched. gave up on my yard last month because of it
Wouldn’t liquid rain be better?
when said "solid" i meant non stop
