    I feel terrible when stuff I buy says it was made with love. Do I deserve the love of someone who never even met me? Do I deserve love at all? That’s why I prefer eating food made by unfeeling machines.

      Don’t feel bad, that’s why it was made with love!

      Yes, you deserve the love I put into food, regardless if it’s Foie Gras, Vegan Lasagne or Tater friggin’ Tots…and also regardless if I’m 100% there or just going through the motions as an unfeeling machine.

          I used to buy Starbucks every day at university and work, I switched to making my own coffee to save money and it just didn’t taste the same.

          I tried every different ingredient I could think of, light roast, medium roast, dark, french, grind sizes.

          At last, I gave up and said: “Fuck it, I HATE making coffee…” took a sip… there it was, that missing flavor.

          It tastes the way it does, because it’s made with misery and spite!

          And that’s how I found out that I was actually a demon. Thanks for listening to my story.

    There was a Burger King near where I lived back in the 80’s where a guy got arrested for attempted murder. He was angry that he had tested positive for HIV back when it was thought to be a death sentence. So he started jizzing in the mayo to try and take everyone with him. I think variations of this eventually turned into an urban legend.

    I like to cook and sometimes people call me “chef” and I always correct them.

    “Cooks prepare food for people they love, chefs prepare food for people they hate”.

    I also dislike the term chef, bc the professionalization of the gendered activity “cooking” makes is acceptable for a man to do, but my family isn’t ready for that conversation.
