@moon777light cool. I'm sneakily replying to this topic so I can get a signature.

Hark ye yet again — the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.

Awesome.  Cooking is one of the most philosophical arts.  Especially Chinese cooking.  It’s like applied Taoism.  All ingredients must be brought to a harmony and balance — where each ingredient also stands proudly and discernibly on its own.  When I went to China, the food there definitely embodied this kind of philosophy.  Every ingredient must stand out but also blend into a perfect harmony with all other ingredients — like a perfect Confucian society.
