Or it's both assembly, but one is more creative than the other, and
because
you're starting from scratch, you have more (IMO) leeway than if you're
using a packaged mix type thing. If you know how to make something from
scratch, then you're probably also comfortable improvising.
If you've only ever made stir-fry by using pre-packaged kits, you're more
likely to think, "Oh, I can't make this tonight because I'm missing this
or
that." But if you're used to doing stir-fry based on stuff you happen to
have on hand, you're less likely to think, "Oh, we can't have that
tonight,
I don't have the chicken the package calls for. I have ****k or beef, but
it
says I have to use chicken."
That's probably a bad example, but I've been testing SQL all day today (I
got it to work!) and my brain is fried. (Not that I cook brains, but
they've been known to cook themselves on occasion.)
