    it's absolutely wild to me how some people cook, if i cook something for 2 hours i'm going to end up with like 50 fucking portions that taste really good.

    A normal meal should take like 30 minutes if you're feeling fancy, and oftentimes way less than that.
    Just fuckin boil some pasta, fry some protein, and make some sauce..

      Don't even get me started. Cooking is my love language. I'll work from 9-5, the start cooking at 5:30 to have dinner on at 7:30 for my family.

      It's fun and enjoyable. It's a form of meditation. I like to drink while I do it. Its a way to practice skill mastery outside of my normal job. I'm a foodie myself who can't quite afford to eat at Michelin star restaurants every night but appreciate that level of cuisine.

      I'm mastering the French sauces, the Asian stir fries, the curries, American BBQ. I'm my biggest critic and my greatest benefactor. Nothing reminds me that life is good quite like setting down a meal that I'm pretty sure could get a Michelin star to my family and enjoying it together.
