Just figured out the 'distracted boyfriend' meme format works for explaining recipe substitutions
I was trying to explain to my sister why she can't just swap almond milk for buttermilk in pancakes and she wasn't getting it. So I made a quick meme using the distracted boyfriend template where the boyfriend is looking at the recipe, the girlfriend is the buttermilk, and the other girl is almond milk with a caption about texture. She finally understood after 3 minutes of looking at it. Now I've used that same format for like 5 different baking questions in our family group chat. Has anyone else found a weird meme template that actually teaches something better than plain words do?

Your pasta water is fine" with the dog meme is funny but honestly, simmer and boil are really different things. Simmer is tiny bubbles, boil is big rolling ones. I think you got lucky he finally got it, but that meme probably just made him laugh more than actually teach him. Hope he's not boiling his pasta sauce now.

Meme format teaching better than plain words" - oh man, I feel this. My husband still can't remember the difference between simmer and boil no matter how many times I explain it. I finally sent him the "this is fine" dog sitting in flames meme with "my pasta water" as the caption and he finally got it. Now every time he cooks he sends me that same meme back with different captions just to be annoying. Your baking group chat is basically a meme museum at this point, that's actually genius.
