The Hostess with the Mostest
I am convinced that cooking for other people is the most stressful thing in the entire world. If you’re going to have guests over and feed them, then you’re going to want to impress them, at least a little. You might make yourself Kraft macaroni and cheese for most meals, but for your guests, you’re going to make beef Wellington or a quiche or something.
And you’re going to spend way too much money on getting the best ingredients, and then you’re going to stress about the guest list because Carrie doesn’t yet know if she’ll be home from her nephew’s soccer game in time, so you don’t know if you should save a place for her or not. The point of all of this is I totally get why this person spends most of their meal prep screaming and lowering expectations.
