    If you haven’t cooked professionally before, or are “just trying to help”, you’re darling for wanting to contribute but likely unaware of the added complications you’re bringing to the effort. 😅 🤷🏼‍♂️

      They’re not useless, they’re front of house staff. Set the table, run dishes, get people drinks, and don’t send guests to me unless they’re selling drugs feeling peckish. 😌

        Selling? If I’m hosting people for dinner and doing the cooking, I expect any drugs you bring to be freely shared! Lol

        Joking aside, though, I love to cook, and get routinely asked if I’ll make this or that. And most of the time I’ve gone over to a friend’s place to cook, or they’ve come to mine and I’ve cooked, they normally bring either booze or decent weed and share it. I hadn’t actually made that connection until now. Lol.

    It’s baffling to me that people actually enjoy cooking. I don’t, and likely would just starve if left to my own devices.

    Luckily, my partner loves cooking (we have a pretty symbiotic relationship). When I offer the help, the response is usually, “Stay over there, out of the way, and look pretty” lol

      Pretty sure my first wife said exactly that. And we cooked well together! But yeah, get the fuck out of my workspace.
