    Wait, you’re American aren’t you? FYI, in other countries people who own a house have more than a lawn, because only having a lawn is considered weird af. But taking care of that lawn is still considered a part of gardening, and mowing is part of that.

    Also baking isn’t cooking, they are two different things. Baking is a lot more chemistry than cooking is

      What the fuck are you even talking about now? What is a book full of baking recipes called? Hint: not a “baking book.”

            Hey I translated the word as it is. If you want to suddenly change the argument from cooking vs baking to recipe books, I don’t see why you’re complaining.

            Baking is a chemistry and following an exact recipe unless you’re very good at what you do, cooking is free form and putting a spin on recipes.

              No one in English calls it that. We call it a cookbook.

              If the issue is that baking isn’t cooking and mowing is gardening in your language, that’s not how it works in English.

              I do know how my native language works, believe it or not. If I went to a bookstore and asked for a “backbuch,” they wouldn’t know what I was talking about. What with it not being an English words.

              Baking recipes are in the cookbook section.
