I really do not want to go out and switch my car to the other side of the street. Which I am sure wil involve shoveling. And I can't find my mittens!!!
Nice acronym, Mom!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I can't find my mittens!!!
Have you checked with the kittens?
So I now have chili. Other reminders of why I never cook:
1) slicing my finger open while chopping the onion
2) Onion juice seeping into the cut through the bandage while I was chopping the rest of it.
3) Small grease burn on my arm from leaping grease.
4) Dropping the spatula onto the floor not once but twice flinging grease and onion pieces everywhere
5) Misjudging the heat and charring some of the chili to the bottom of the pot.
6) The fact that even though I'm using my mother's recipe, it still tastes nowhere as good as when she makes it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You might be looking at that as a cause, where others would see that as an effect.

I know. Practice makes perfect and all that. At the moment, though, it's a whole lot of aggravation for not a lot of payoff.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Burned chili tends to have an effect on the whole pot.
Plus? I bet your mom slow cooked it. Did you?

Not to mention that the chances of her ever making it exactly as written are slim to none. Family recipes are like that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I always forget that there are people who follow any recipe exactly. If you asked me, I'd say I use the Joy of Cooking banana bread recipe. And I do, except I usually don't add the lemon zest, or nuts, or fruit, and I always add cinnamon and vanilla. But I follow the recipe!

Also funny -- my mom was putting together a thing of family recipes, and it included both my grandmother's spaghetti sauce and my uncle's, which he said was an adaptation of my grandmother's. They have virtually nothing in common, except cinnamon.
