I was making potato and leek soup and the recipe asked for five potatoes cubed.

@Natasha_Jay Tragic accident: Woman reported as "Julienne" gruesomely killed in horrible kitchen misunderstanding. "I had my doubts, but the cooking video sounded so convincing", says devastated chef.

@Natasha_Jay

Well, cubing happens when you peel them, cut the leek, and hand both over to your disciples, to feed the 5,000. Give it a try.

@Natasha_Jay Reminds me of the early days of married life when my now-ex made a potato, leek & cheese bake which smelled medicinal & tasted disgusting. Turned out she'd misunderstood the recipe line that said " Garlic 2 cloves"

@Natasha_Jay I'm pretty sure the book meant that you have to throw d6.

@withaveeay @Natasha_Jay you may have got to the root of the issue.

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt

that's not 125 potatoes, that's 5 potatoes³

[wavefunction@mastodon.gluecode.net]

@Natasha_Jay it's fewer than that though, because each cube is a square root.

[ryan@m29.us]

@Natasha_Jay You know how many potatoes would be almost as many as five cubed? 5!

[jargoggles@kolektiva.social]

@Natasha_Jay
I went to the store and forgot how many potatoes my wife said to get even though she told me several times. I texted to ask her again and she said, "5!"

Then she got mad when I brought home 120 potatoes. Can you believe that?

[zeroslr@mstdn.party]

@Natasha_Jay That will make at least 3 squared meals for the whole family

@Natasha_Jay Ah yes, but:

@Natasha_Jay as an erstwhile mathematician who refuses to use numbers that aren't imaginary i do prefer recipes where my ingredients are hypercubed.

My non-euclidean waffles are a dream and people can't get enough of my klein bottle ravioli.
