rachg82Wow. Um, okay, clearly I was not meant to ever step foot in a kitchen.
Did you guys know that a clove of garlic looks like this and not this?
I bet you did.
Guess who didn't? Thaaat would be me. *waves*
See, this is what happens when, A. simple tasks are your arch nemesis, B. no one ever really taught you how to cook, and C. your name is Rachael.
Now, imagine a recipe that calls for THREE cloves of garlic. Imagine meticulously peeling all three bulbs (whilst patting yourself on the back for managing such an amazing feat, obvs) & trying to mince them all together with basil in a blender, thinking to yourself, "Y'know, that looks like an awful lot of garlic." Imagine checking a YouTube vid to see if you're doing it right & then realizing your mistake. Imagine trying to remove said excess garlic--after it's already mashed up to bits--and STILL ending up with the most superfied garlic-tastic pesto sauce ever made. Like, try a taste & jump back three feet, eyes-watering, garlic-tastic. Also, assume you put 2/3 cup of olive oil in vs. 1/2. Because that's just how you roll. You were too busy spilling shit all over the floor to double-check your numbers.
…Seriously. It's not easy being me.
And now I'm supposed to do laundry? Go to the store? I OBJECT.
