Being an adult means I can eat half a bag of chips for dinner and nobody can stop me. I can even have nacho cheese from the can and what are you gonna do about it?

    I’ve never worked in a professional kitchen (mainly because I enjoy cooking and i was always worried it would kill my love for it) but a lot of people assume I did

    I just learned how to cook really good because my brother got really good at bartending and I wanted to show him up at something

    Turns out when you learn proper techniques, someone trying to help you in the kitchen is like watching a sky-dancer flail its arms around, making a mess out of everything

      It will kill your love for it to an extent. The pay sucks im an era where just getting by doesn’t exist anymore too. I gotta get out for many reasons but one is i dont have it in me to make decent food for myself too often after doing it all damn day and it sucks. You do get really reallt fucking good at cooking and wish you could apply it to your own life
