OK, the tears of laughter have started to subside as I read through your story (“Culinary rube,” May 11).
I am the chief chef in my house, and I have a millennial here whom I have tried to teach a few basics to. She still complains that a quesadilla has too many ingredients.
Once, she was standing at the stove with a pot of boiling water saying, “Look! I’m such wifey material!” I tried to show her how easy a Crock-Pot is to make meals; she responded with DGAF and TLDR and other stuff like that.
Her idea of meal prep is: A Monster, Skittles, or a pack of gummy worms!
Always enjoy your stories.
