How to Annoy a Chef in the Kitchen
I don’t want to brag, but in the past few months I think I have really mastered the art of annoying my chef/husband in the kitchen. There’s a chance I always have done this, but lately, I seem to be getting better at it.
I am so good at this in fact, that last week I called him on the phone the day before his day off to ask what I could do to help make cooking in our home kitchen easier for him. His response was, “Oh I don’t know. It’s fine.”
Although he doesn’t complain, I know him well and can tell he gets frustrated easily when cooking at home. I expressed my concern and told him a couple things I was working on for his next day off. I’m not sure if those changes made a difference or not, so I’ll just make a joke about them while I continue to work on it.
While the kitchen at the restaurant is “his” kitchen and runs smoothly with everything in it’s place and properly labeled, I guess that means the kitchen at home is “mine” since I do the majority of the cooking, shopping and cleaning. It’s not easy cooking in someone else’s kitchen, especially when they don’t think the same way you do about food and don’t “live” food every second of the day like you do. I get that. I’m just not exactly sure how to solve this “problem.”
So over the past few months I’ve worked hard to compile 6 easy ways that you too can best annoy your chef/husband in the kitchen. I hope this is helpful to many of you! (more…)
