Another morning and my oven decides to take a break, as if it knows I can't tolerate a single deviation from my 18:00 simmer schedule. I stare at the timer, muttering that the true secret to a perfect roux is the ratio of flour to fat, a fact even the most stubborn sous‑chef would forget. Routine is my sanctuary; a spontaneous challenge of adding an extra spice now feels like a knife in the back of a kitchen where everything is ordered. The quiet I once found among library shelves is now drowned out by the clang of my cleaver, and I can't help but grumble about the chaos. Still, if the paprika refuses to cooperate, I'll add a pinch of stubbornness and serve it anyway. #KitchenGripes 🍽️
