Rule 2: The Futility of Cooking
According to our experts, Rule 2 of the Kitchen Rules of Despair is all about the futility of cooking. You see, no matter how hard you try, you will always end up with a dish that is either burnt, overcooked, or undercooked. It's like trying to tame a wild beast - you can never really succeed.
We've seen it happen to the best of us: the perfectly good recipe, the right equipment, the ideal ingredients. And yet, somehow, someway, it all goes wrong. The sauce is too thick, the chicken is too dry, the rice is too crunchy. It's a culinary Sisyphean task, if you will.
But fear not, dear cooks! For in the Kitchen Rules of Despair, we have found a way to cope. We've developed a system, a philosophy, a way of life that says: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again... and then give up." It's a liberating feeling, really.
