GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

LENGUA DE SENAS = “SIGN LANGUAGE” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I have a post about something that I can describe in a single word that until I knew the definition of this word would have taken no less than multiple sentences in order to touch on each aspect of one thing thematically that I thoroughly enjoy. That word is Gastronomy however the concept I am highlighting today is that of the example I shared of the ability to say many things while only having to say one thing.

Before I get into why I am a fan and student of Gastronomy I want to expand on this concept of embedding information within information and how it can be both efficient and more precise while also being potentially counter productive.

First in order to illustrate the point I am trying to make here is the definition of Gastronomy:

Gastronomy refers to the study and practice of preparing, cooking, and appreciating food. It goes beyond just eating; it's the art, science, and cultural appreciation of food and cooking. Gastronomy encompasses everything from the ingredients and techniques used to cook meals to the history, traditions, and social aspects surrounding food in different cultures.

It also involves the exploration of food pairings, regional cuisines, and the sensory experience of food, like how it looks, smells, and tastes.

For example, French gastronomy is known for its rich culinary traditions and techniques, while Italian gastronomy celebrates simple, high-quality ingredients and traditional recipes passed down through generations.

If you and I did not know what “Gastronomy” is and means I would have only been able to share with you the intended message by stating the definition of gastronomy in a way that in my own words share each portion of the definition as separate components of something that I can connect only by way of including the theme of “what about and why I enjoy meals I have prepared”.

I would say I appreciate meals I have prepared because of the following: I know what the meal is comprised of to include not just the ingredients but what type if any the ingredient is via the information available having acquired the ingredients myself with the ability to read the “nutrition facts” if the ingredient is something that is multiple things unlike a single ingredient like broccoli (only ingredient in broccoli is broccoli) versus an ingredient like salted butter which has no less than 2 ingredients those being salt and butter and that being said it still does not provide information like the ratio of salt to butter and what type of dairy was used to make the butter.

Everything I just said about appreciating the knowledge of the information available when acquiring the ingredients myself could fall under the word “science” or “culture” that is used in the definition of Gastronomy.

Now without having to get into why I like plating my food I could refer to the word “Art” in Gastronomy’s definition but without only one of us not being familiar with gastronomy I would then need to go on to say how I like plating my food in a way that it is ascetically pleasing with respect to portion size as it appears as a part of a whole when looking at the plate not considering everything on the plate individually but as a single visual item to include the colors, the textures, the balance and ratio of the items with respect to one another and the plate.

I have been learning to cook for a couple decades now. i am not just learning how to cook as a way to produce a specific meal but the techniques and methods I have learned over time has been with the intent to improve my ability and understanding of the science that is involved in able to do so yet it is not the science that was the thing I was learning as my intention but as a result of a means to an end for the actual intention to be able to prepare on my own the ability to enjoy some of my favorite dishes. This speaks to the word “eating” in the definition of gastronomy.

Now to revisit the concept of the potential negative aspect of communicating using information with information embedded within as a way to effectively convey a specific intended message.

If the recipient of the intended message is not aware of the “loaded” words definition ( a loaded word is how I am describing a word that is not one thing specifically but a word that contains by definition multiple subject matters all with there own potentially complexed definitions) one of two things could be possible as the result. The first possibility is the recipient does not ask for clarification because they are able to use the context surrounding the word as a way of making sense of what is being shared and is comfortable potentially not clearly understanding what is being shared and understands enough to satisfy the intention of honestly listening yet the messenger is unaware this is the result. The second possibility (not to say only two possibilities exist but these two possibilities came to mind as a way of explaining the concept I am sharing) is the recipient doesn’t know the definition and does not attempt or care to clarify or use the context surrounding the unknown word and because of this decides to focus on what was shared previous and after the unknown word used in the message shared with them and if and when the messenger asks if what was shared was understood the recipient says yes causing the messenger to feel. Confident the message was shared and understood while that not being true.

Both possibilities I described have the result potentially including confusion between what was said and heard revealed through future experiences by the recipient in the form of a misunderstanding discovered when providing feedback to the messenger now requiring further explanation and if time is of the essence the wasted time being the negative aspect. Another possibility with the negative aspect is the recipient is left with a set of incomplete or factually inaccurate information that was needed for future experiences that are important enough to warrant the request via the recipient or with the best interest of the recipient in mind provided by the messenger and the purpose of having the conversation previous to the experience causing negative consequences.

To say it without examples, if the reason for sharing the information is important, although time can be saved using loaded words it makes more sense to take the time and say all that can be said with the emphasis being to say what is going to give the highest probability of the recipient understanding the message in a way that there is the lowest probability to what can be misinterpreted or having questions remain with respect to the clarity desired by recipient or the messenger’s intent and meaning of message.

I like to cook 😉
