I feel this one in my soul. I am not an expert cook, though I don’t do too badly–but I do need to concentrate on the kitchen. People need to leave me the heck alone when I’m cooking or baking.
My wife and I love to cook together.
Yeah it really depends on the meal but having multiple sets of hands and working on different parts is 100% doable and fun. Does this person think restaurants have a single cook too??
There is not a single second where the other person isn’t standing in front of a drawer or door that you need to acces pronto.
my greatest creations while drunk involved frozen pizzas with added toppings. bake as usual. extra cheese, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes… w/e was available. occasionally passed out before the timer went off. slight smoke damage until it became charcoal. quit drinking but still like the pizzas;
here’s fish tacos with sardines. feel the love;
With the right marketing and ambiance, those tacos could go for $60.
What is the right ambiance for a slice of american cheese on store bought corn tortilla with extremely strong fish and tomato sauce?
Outdoor dining with a disposable plastic table cloth, plastic folding chair, and the aroma of the dumpster from the neighboring animal hospital.
If I am making something that requires a lot of steps or making multiple dishes, I don’t mind a helper that actually helps and stays out of the way of what I’m doing while they do what they’re doing.
Of course that also assumes I am in a kitchen with room. My apartment’s kitchen wouldn’t make a difference even if my helper was a clone of myself. Not enough room for a second person to not be in the way constantly.
When I cook, anybody else in the kitchen who is there not there by invitation is just an annoyance. So people can be there if asked, otherwise FOAD.
For me, I hate cooking. My spouse hates cooking. To me, love is us encouraging each other to cook.
Unless the work is easy to break down. Food prep like chopping or split work like you cook I’ll prep the salad and dessert.
My wife is fucking useless in the kitchen. I would absolutely love it if she even attempted to help in the kitchen. Typically she sits on her ass and doomscrolls while I do all the work. She’s not a great cook, and for that reason, I do most of the cooking. There are still small things that you can do to help out like cutting veggies, finding spices, setting the table, etc. If she did those things, she might learn a thing or 2 about how to cook and improve her culinary skills. Also, whenever she cooks, she acts like the person in this meme wanting no help, and it comes out tasting like shit (too much oil, not enough seasoning and burnt to hell is her usual). If I try to help, she gets frustrated and quits leaving me to make the meal (which may be what she’s trying to do anyway). So think about the other side of this coin OP.
Have you considered therapy?
This is my Ex Wife . She could burn water. My new wife is a delight in the kitchen so much so that I make weekend breakfasts with zero help and don’t even feel slighted. It’s a treat.
Love is to share all moments togather, and be happy for eachother no matter what
That’s what makes it intimate.
If you’re not in a knife fight, are you really family?
I absolutely love to cook I’ve been cooking since I was a teenager when I worked in restaurants as I got older I ran a fine dining kitchen for a while. I absolutely love when I get to cook with other people in my kitchen. It’s an absolute joy to share that moment sometimes it feels intimate sometimes it’s just fun sometimes it’s teaching them sometimes I get to learn things. Anyone that doesn’t like to have other people cook with them is just odd to me.
Either they’re want to do everything or don’t know anything.
As a wise drunk philosopher once said “You Goddamn right not!”
