the gluttons finish up in minutes
This is why I don't cook much anymore. Several days of work, and in minutes it's all gone. Especially with the desserts.
My oven is itty bitty. (I like my kitchens small) I'm actually worried my 15 pound bird won't fit in it spatchcocked.
Do you dream about cooking? You are so passionate about it! I used to be. Owning a business took care of that.
There was a very exciting decade in my 30's and 40's when I was ready to open a restaurant, but chose to raise daughters sanely and pipe dream on my free time. I would sit in the local bakery alternately creative writing in my journal and figuring food costs for a nonexistent kitchen. Today I have anxiety dreams about the line, but no more planning for the chef’s practice.
We made it through. Every one got full and had plenty to take home:)
